Bluetooth Headphones sound terrible on Mac OS X?

"I have a Motorola A2DP headset and on occasion with it pairs in headset mode with my MacBookPro it's very staticy and the sound is sub-par. Usually, by disabling bluetooth and then turning it back on and resyncing everything it works fine again.

It's pretty rare that it ends up with bad sound, but I get the feeling that Apple has pretty crappy bluetooth drivers."

While I tried a lot of these options that everyone is presenting as solutions, I ended up fixing my headphones a different way. I went to system preferences on Mac and then went to Bluetooth. From there I right clicked on the device (Beats Solo3 Wireless) that was having issues and clicked "remove". After I did that, I reconnected them and now they work fine. My initial problem with the headphones wasn't on an individual platform rather a problem on all platforms within my mac, which includes Spotify, Youtube, FaceTime and anything else you can think of. This will give you another option to try and I hope it helps.

"I was having the same issue with a pair of Coby E7 bluetooth headphones where they sounded muffled. I went to system preferences and realized that while the audio was playing through the headphones they weren't listed under Audio -> Output as the output source.

I decided to try and disconnect the headphones by going to System Preferences -> Bluetooth and clicked the ""X"" button to remove them. I rebooted the headphones and repaired them and the issue is resolved and now the headphones are listed as the output source under sound.

Hope this helps."

"If you have SoundFlower installed, try uninstalling it. 
That solved this for me.

Use the SoundFlower uninstaller script located in the original SoundFlower install .dmg file."
