Curious to see if anyone else is experiencing this. I should note that I performed a fresh install of MacOS to see if the problem persists, and it does.

So I have a MacBook Pro 15" 2017, and 2018 side by side. If I connect my AirPods, or my Bose QC35 II's to the 2018 MacBook, I've noticed consistently poorer performance. The main issue is that when listening to music, if I receive a audible notification of any kind from another app (new email, iMessage), the music playback skips/stutters whilst the notification is played. It then takes about a second or 2 after the notification has completed for playback to "stabilise".

Again, this isn't present on my 2017 in any way, just my 2018.

Has anyone else noticed this?
