Bluetooth headphones issues.

I seem to be having problems with the connection between fenix 5 plus and jaybird tarah pro headphones. Sometimes sound works fine and sometimes I get constant random interruptions. Sometimes turning off the power of fenix 5 plus and restarting it helps and sometimes it doesn't. Often it also stops responding to pause and volume buttons of the headphones. I have also noticed that using the headphones to fenix 5 plus drains the battery of the headphones much faster compared to them being connected to my phone. I also don't have any of those other problems when I connect headphones to my phone instead of my fenix 5 plus.

I don't know about draining headphone batteries... but this might be of some use to you....

When I first connect the headphones the volume controls do work, but if I try to adjust them later I often notice that the controls have stopped working. I assumed this is part of the other connection issues I have had. I bought the tarah pro headset because it was in the official supported headphones list here https://support.garmin.com/en-US/?faq=FnVJLBvvw51RfH3OE2YUO6

That's interesting that you have volume control intermittently..... I've not seen that with all my Bluetooth speakers and headphones etc.... I either get plus and minus icon's when speakers/headphones can't be controlled volume wise.... Or plus and minus icons and the blue fill volume gauge when they can be controlled if you know what I mean lol..

I feel like the control issues are also related to the sound interruptions. If I hear those sound interruptions, I can pretty much expect that the controls have stopped working too and I can't pause or change volume using the buttons on the headphones. Those times that there has been no interruptions there is at least a chance that the controls still work when I try them.
