I picked up a Pixelbook on Sunday 11-26 and so far I am enjoying it. My only complaint is the Bluetooth. I have the Jaybird X2 paired with it and the sound horrible. The sound is hollow, and I keep hearing a clicking noise. Is anyone else having trouble with Bluetooth?
 
I tried a different Bluetooth (the Plantronics 5200) and still had the same issue. I finally went to the Bluetooth settings, switched audio input for the Bluetooth to the internal mic, and the popping noise stopped. The audio output is excellent now. Screenshot 2017-11-30 at 19.32.21.png
 
I'm using a PH-BTH3 Headphones the link to a youtube review from unboxed therapy is below I think I paid $39 for them and they sound great. I also use them with my Pixel 2 XL. It even comes with 3.5mm wire as it suppoerts 3.5mm head jacks as well if you don't feel like going bluetooth.

I have a pair of Bose headsets and they work great so far but I notice the battery life on the headset is less when using the pixel book.
