Note: for pairing to succeed, pulseaudio-bluetooth must be installed first.
Try the performance cpu governor. It's set to ondemand i think by default and it may not be aggressive enough to deal with things like youtube.

Thanks for the suggestion. Tried it, no changes. This likely is a software/tuning issue since my headset works flawlessly with the same hardware running the Android 7.1 image. Nevermind youtube, simply testing the headset from the audio panel also stutters.

I hope that this is useful in your instance!It think you might be on to something here. My house has a slightly older router which is 2.4GHz only, plus a newer access point to extend the coverage, which is 2.4GHz and 5GHz. When I'm connected on 2.4GHz (confirmed by iwconfig), I get stutters. When connected on 5GHz (also confirmed by iwconfig), I haven't observed any stutters. This is of course only anecdotal evidence.
I've been testing with a pair of PSB M4U TW1's, using MPD to play audio. My Pinebook Pro is running NixOS: current kernel built from tsys' 5.6-rc5 sources, but with a slightly different config to Manjaro. When not stuttering, sound quality is good. The headset's next/prev/pause controls aren't working with the PBP yet, but I haven't looked into configuring them yet, so I'm not too surprised.
