Hi all,

I'm curious why pretty much every Bluetooth headphones I've had sounds distorted and why there's a constant hissing. I'm thinking it's the low quality DAC/amps, but at $100 to hear constant hissing? Come on.

Here's a list of what I've tried in the past:
  • OnePlus Bullets Wireless ($69) (garbage hissing sound, really annoying in silent environments
  • SHURE Bluetooth adapter (hissing sound) — ONE HUNDRED BUCKS
  • Sony wireless sports headphones (forgot the model) — they were pretty bad, too
  • BeatsX ($100) the hissing sound is still present.
I'm sick of returning Bluetooth headphones. When is this going to change?
