Airpods - bluetooth audio
Bluetooth headsets may be unusable with pulse audio by default. Particular symptoms include cutting out and compressed playback. This is completely independent of the speaker setup, so it won't mess up the config there
Start by finding your bluetooth card's name with
$ pactl list | grep -Pzo '.*bluez_card(.*\n)*'
This also shows the latency in the output section. It should be 0. Now increase the latency. 50000 is a good choice for airpods pro
$ pactl set-port-latency-offset bluez_card.00_8A_76_4D_9B_BB headphone-output 50000
$ systemctl restart bluetooth
That should fix the cutting out issues. Not connect the airpods
$ bluetoothctl
[bt]# power on
[bt]# default-agent
[bt]# scan on

You may need to redirect pulse audio's output to the airpods. Referenced from here
