so there’s a latency problem between your mac and your bluetooth headphone, and almost all of the methods requires “bluetooth explorer” tool and you’ll have to download it.

TL;DR;

Forget about that tool! Fire up your terminal and type this command

Turn On APTX

sudo defaults write bluetoothaudiod "Enable AptX codec" -bool true

Turn On APTX

sudo defaults write bluetoothaudiod "Enable AAC codec" -bool true
