  1. Restart bluetooth (turn it off and on)

@lukasa1993 the low quality is because it is turning on the Mic and going into the Handset profile (which sounds terrible)

Has anyone figured out how to prevent the Bluetooth device from automatically enabling itself? It is quite the chore to having to deselect it every single time the headphones connect to the computer (handset profile sound is awful).
