Fenix 5S Plus bluetooth connection headphone drops / comes back while running

I can listen to music via my watch without problems unless I try to do it running. Then the connection gets lost for a second and comes back again continuously.

Very annoying. Anyone got a tip?

Yes. Wear the watch on the other wrist... ;)

What headphones?

All of them. Tried it with airpods, Jabra and JBL

The headphone are the problem. I have the same issue with a low quality TW headphone

I don't have the Airpods, but I think it might be possible to change if the master (the one that is connected directly to the watch) is the left or the right one. If it is so, try to make the one you wear on the same side of your watch the master: I think that the fact that this happens to you when you are running is because you move your arms away from your head, and putting a larger mass of your body between the watch and the headphones when you run

I don't have airpods either, but the earbuds that gave me problems I found to have the same issue during the run even if connected to a smartphone. I have changed earphones and fixed the problem

I can only speak for AirPods as they are the only ones I have used and they have always worked fine. Not sure the idea of a ‘master’ applies to AirPods but happy to be corrected. I know there have been other posts about some wireless headphones that do have a master. Check some of the other threads where they are discussing different wireless headphones. While it is possible to be watch specific, headphones issues could be applicable across all watches.
