Why Bluetooth Fails?

When it comes to Bluetooth connectivity issues it depends on both hardware and software so to keep it in check there could be several reasons causing that problems such as:

• Compatibility: In most cases Bluetooth is compatible. If your headphone supports Bluetooth 4.1 then it should be able to connect with device having older version of Bluetooth as well but if it has Bluetooth Smart then due to different protocols it won’t be able to connect with Classic Bluetooth. However Bluetooth 4.0 is labeled as Bluetooth Smart so if you have that or newer version then you are fine.
• Updates: Automatic updates on your tablet, mobile or computer could scramble Bluetooth settings as well. Which affects headphones connection as they need to be stable for smooth audio otherwise you may notice distortion, drop outs or inability to reconnect your device.
• Interference: Bluetooth uses radio frequency to pair different devices, if you are in high distortion zone such as near microwaves, poorly shielded electronics cables then you might face connectivity issues.
