I bought the B&O H95, but am having some issues with it. When I start a song from silence, or a notification starts, I will get a crackling sound at the beginning. A few seconds after it ends I will hear a pop/click. This happens using both bluetooth and USB-C, but not when using 3.5mm jack. It happens on all my devices: PC, Macbook Pro, iPhone and iPad. I'm guessing it's when the H95 registers sound it "powers up" and then "powers down" when no sound is detected.

I went back to the B&O store and the sales guy said the headphone shouldn't be having these noises. He gave me a replacement but the new H95 does exactly the same. So maybe a bad batch or do they all do this? I tried listening to my older and cheaper BT headphone. No noticeable crackling at the beginning, but I do hear a slight pop when music/sound ends, however not as bad as on the H95. Do any of you with an H95 have this problem?

My PC doesn't have bluetooth so need to buy a dongle. Is the creative BT-W5 the dongle to buy if I also want to do some gaming occasionally?

Went back to the store. Tried their demo model and it also had pops/clicks, although didn't seem as loud as on the two I had. So maybe I am just sensitive to noise.. Decided to get a refund, so will be looking for some other headphones instead.
