Thanks for the hint! Mine also stuttered, and I hadn't tried disconnecting wifi. With wifi disconnected, they work perfectly.

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.
My system was already using the performance cpu governor. Likewise, my headset works fine with my phone.

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.
