I have found Bluetooth to be a very smooth experience, but only when using more recent devices.
For example, my Bluetooth Pixel Buds work great with my new Samsung S22 phone and my new MacBook. My Samsung S22 and my 2021 car work great and pair together very reliably.
However, I also have a 2016 car, a 5 year old Asus laptop, and some older Bluetooth headphones. If I throw any of those into the mix, Bluetooth becomes frustrating and unreliable again.
