I'm getting dropouts with my Bluetooth earbuds on my daily subway commute and it is driving me nuts. The music stutters every time the train pulls into a busy station. At home they are fine, and at the gym they are mostly okay. I'm on Android with LDAC enabled, and I've tried switching to AAC. I turned off Wi-Fi, disabled dual-device connection, and forced priority to connection instead of sound. I also updated firmware and cleaned the charging contacts. I even bought foam tips to improve seal, thinking it might reduce interference, but no luck. Case firmware is current, and the phone's battery optimization for the app is off. Is this just RF congestion underground, or can a different codec, antenna style, or a neckband adapter fix it? If I need a small BT receiver with a stronger radio, which one actually works on trains?
