Bluetooth ldac stuttering/ popping issues

[Maestro30k]

Has anyone noticed audio stuttering using earbuds/headphones that use the ldac codec?

I'm getting very noticeable stutters and Samsung fail to even acknowledge

Samsung phones are the worst for ldac, even the top ones. It's a buggy implementation and when you discover how to set ldac for higher bitrate you get stuttering. Even cheap phones from other brands can do that. But Samsung just doesn't care cause they want to sell their buds.

Hello,

yes, I have also been noticing audio stutters using ldac. I notice them when listening on WHXM5 and WFXM4 through Spotify. Disconnecting galaxy watch helps but it doesn't remove the issue fully. Only time stutters dissappear is when the screen is off ehich makes the phone (S20 FE) unusable besides playing music. Dropping the quality to 330 kbps helps, but again it doesn't resolve the issue fully. Stutters are also more prevalent when the phone is hot to the touch.

Have you found any solutions besides the ones I mentioned and have you made any other observations about the issue?

I gave up trying to resolve this because Samsung falls to acknowledge there is an issue. I just use the galaxy buds 2 Pro for now but my preference would be the Sony xm5
