Wonder how they would work as the S2's Bluetooth sound quality seems erratic.

I have gone through two headsets (Nokia BH-505 and Rocketfish RF-MAB2 which has awesome sound quality) and on both of them when watching Netflix the audio is about a second after it happens on the screen. Both headsets have done that and I am just wondering if there is maybe an app that can remedy this when streaming video on android?
Anyone????
Same Issue
I have tried different bluetooth devices. Issue is with Netflix and their developers.
I am currently running the Purity 4.4 JB 4.2.1 version of Android on my Verizon Samsung Galaxy Nexus. I have tried several ROMS to no avail. I pair my phone to BT devices with no problem. The phone shows Media Connected in the Bluetooth settings however when I attempt to stream audio to my car or bluetooth speaker, the sound just plays on the phone. I have attempted to use several apps (including Google Music) to attempt to force the sound to the speaker with no luck. I've seen a bunch of issue threads where Bluetooth issues ranging from audio quality being poor to issues with streaming. I haven't found a single response thread that solves the issue. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this?
Thank you!
A week or so again I tried hooking up my A2DP bluetooth speaker with my S4, running a 4.2.2 ROM. This bluetooth speaker works great with iphones, my HP Touchpad running CM, and my Galaxy Nexus running 4.1.2. I tried it also with a friend's Note 2, running 4.1.2, and it works fine for him too.
The speaker is this one: http://www.amazon.com/Spracht-Portable-Wireless-Bluetooth-Connectivity/dp/B0023B1364
Though I've owned my S4 for 6 months, it may have been the first time I tried pairing it. It paired fine. However, any music streaming attempts fail horribly. It spurts out a few seconds of sound, then goes silent. Intermittently a few more seconds of sound may pop through. If I hit some of the buttons on the speaker (stereo widening, bass boost), a few more seconds pop through, and then nothing.
This is a bit different than some of the other complaints with 'poor quality' streaming. In this case, it doesn't truly stream much. I reverted back to complete stock and had the same problem.
I remember hearing that with 4.2, there were widespread reports of poor a2dp quality, supposedly fixed with the next version (4.2.1? I forget).
Thinking something might be wrong with the bluetooth on my phone specifically, I obtained warranty service and obtained another brand-new/refurbished S4. Right out of the box same problem. This new phone was also on 4.2.2, stock.
I simultaneously obtained a bluetooth adapter for my car, which is also apt-x capable, and it works great. Maybe the apt-x protocol supersedes the a2dp, I don't know.
Anyone else with an older a2dp (only) bluetooth speaker/headset with similar issues, running 4.2.2?
I have done extensive testing with both my HTC One and Samsung Galaxy Nexus regarding the phantom ringing noise that exists on bluetooth audio. This issue is not only present on streaming bluetooth audio but also present when the sound file is kept on the actual phone (using Google Play Music). So far I have tried the following:
1) Tried multiple roms both sense and aosp - the ringing/buzzing noise still exists on both (DEFINITION - PHANTOM RINGING/BUZZING NOISE - a buzzing series of overtones that exists particularly when listening to jazz music that has a lot of ride and crash cymbals being played) As a professional musician, this can be quite annoying.
2) Tried going back and forth between bluetooth and auxiliary cable on both phones (HTC One and Galaxy Nexus), trying AOSP vs. SENSE roms, streaming vs. non streaming. Both phones and all roms have the same issue present, the bluetooth audio has a fuzzy clarity to the cymbals. It is worth mentioning that the AOSP roms are slightly better in terms of less Phantom ringing/buzzing but far from perfect.
My question is, does anyone have a fix for this? I paid big bucks to have Bluetooth installed in my car and really want to use it.
The auxiliary cable sounds good until you plug your phone charger in.....that presents an even larger noise issue. Please help.
Thanks,

if 2 phones and different roms still cause the problem then it might be your BT system.
what music player are you using / do any of them have an EQ system you can adjust.
what BT system do you have?

I am using an Audiovox Media bridge, however, I do not think that is the issue due to the fact that the issue improves slightly on the Aosp ROM. Additionally, when I run the aux through the media bridge I have no issues.
I am using Google play music. I have tried adjusting the EQ using Viper ROM 5.0 and have had no success. Any other ideas?
Bluetooth pairs and plays through headset just fine. But as soon as I put phone in my pocket it starts to lag and skip and crackle. ... Rooted with twisted rom. Anybody else, or do you think I have hardware issue
I have the same issue with mine, but its paired to my car stereo and within 2 feet of the thing, if i have the phone in my lap, often i get the same results as you are experiencing. Im wondering if its a antenna issue or if the output is lowered on the S6 so range is limited? Regardless, its not just you...
Same here.. just brought new bluetooth headphones and the only way it plays without any problem is to leave the screen on. Does anyone know of a fix for this?
Seems to work fine on mine and my girl's phones running renegade, havent tried headset but wireless speaker from across the house. Sixaxis controller works fine too but slight lag at times, which i think is just the app. Hope this helps maybe try a fresh start with odin?
