Does anyone else have an issue with their AirPods Max where they "fizzle out" when connected to a Mac? By fizzle out, they'll be fine then you'll encounter some skipping (almost as if you are getting too far way). It gets worse and worse until they ultimately just stop playing. If I take them off my head, and put them back on, they are good for another 30 minutes until it happens again. This is my second pair of AirPods Max and they do the same thing. I have also tried across two Intel MBP's, same thing. However if I connect them to my iPhone, they are totally fine for hours.

The closest I had was a hiccup only with Microsoft Teams. They would fizzle out but come back up in seconds. Teams seems to causes issues with Bluetooth headsets more than any other app.

Depends on the Mac. My MacBook Pros are working flawlessly, my cMP has been a problem from the beginning with anything BlueTooth - very poor range due to antennas at the bottom of a metal case.
