Avantree Audition

These are BT 4.0 headphones. I have noticed one problem with them - they work very well when connected to my One plus One phone but the sound is skipping when connecting to a PC. At the same time my journal was being spammed with messages like these:

I think the reason for this is that I was using an el-cheapo old BT 2.0 dongle while my local 2.4 GHz spectrum is a bit crowded (I counted more than 100 802.11 networks when I last ran Kismet)! So now I need to buy a BT 4.0 dongle and test out my hypothesis.

Update @2016-03-20:

I was correct in my initial assesment. The new el-cheapo BT 4.0 dongle from Aliexpress.com works like a charm!
