In Android 14, Google managed to fuck up Bluetooth once again. It's full of audio drop-outs unless you enable Developer Options and turn on an option called "Disable Bluetooth A2DP hardware offload."
Without turning on this option, all of my Bluetooth audio devices, from my Bose earbuds, to my Bose QC headphones to the cheap Bluetooth adapter in my car, have frequent audio dropouts, I'd venture to guess because the phone is letting the device's buffer run out, but that's just a guess.
Note that Bluetooth was actually working pretty well in Android 13... this is a very recent breakage.
