WH-1000XM4 - Poor sound quality in combination with yamaha receiver RX2080

Hi,

i'm connecting my headphone to the receiver and the sound is quite poor, stuttering the whole time.

Changed headphone setting to 'stable connection' in the app, but that doesn't help either.

Had no problems with AKG YBT50, so maybe it's a codec problem that avoids good sound, because the headphones otherwise sound good.

So what else can i do?

Thx

Andy

Does that only happen when connected to the receiver (i.e. works fine with a phone for example)?

Hi,

It works fine with iPhone and works fine with iMac or MacBook. The receiver is the first device where this problem occurs.

Thx

Then you're probably right, the receiver might be using a codec that the headphones don't support or vice versa. The headphone support SBC, AAC and LDAC according to the spec sheet.

My current solution is to connect to the Apple TV, that's working fine.

Thx
