Why are Bluetooth technical issues always so wacky?

253 viewsOtherTechnology

I don’t know if this is going to make any sense to anyone but hear me out. It feels like whenever you have an issue with Bluetooth it’s some kinda goofy ass problem that would only happen with Bluetooth devices.

To give some examples:
– Interactions between multiple Bluetooth devices being janky
– Devices connecting to each other when you don’t want them to, or refusing to connect when you do want them to.
– weird audio glitches in specific scenarios
– audio devices switching back and forth between two other devices they’ve been paired with recently

Obviously I understand at a base level that there’s radio waves carrying information and these can be interrupted by stuff like microwaves. But I’m more talking about issues regarding pairing, and other odd quirks that you don’t experience when using other wireless connections like WiFi.

Can someone explain in layman’s terms why Bluetooth is like this? Or am I just being crazy

Here is a crazy real-world example. My friend has a nice Sony bluetooth headset. It works great and he loves it. Except when he plays ONE game (DayZ) and anytime he enters a building in the game (how does it even know?!) he gets this loud buzz which overwhelms all other sound and this continues until he turns the headset off, then back on. It works great until he enters another building. SMH.
