    I finally got meself a set of bluetooth headphones, the cord for my headphones was getting annoying...

    Problem is, the music i play, or anything else for that matter, just doesn't work. It comes on and off constantly. According to the status of the headset connection, i have a good connection, and it is consistently sending information.

    I Bet this problem has been seen again and again, but I really understand the frustration people have when this happens; it truly is annoying as hell when it happens.

    Strangely, when I press the next track button on the headset, the sound plays for a brief second, but then quickly stops. A BT mouse I own works fine.

    I'm using Insignia bluetooth headphones (Best Buy generic brand). They work fine for my co-workers, but not for me. What gives?

    UPDATE: If I disconnect the headphones, play music, and reconnect the headphones, they will play whatever is playing flawlessly until the sound stops. Once It has stopped, after about 5 seconds, the headphones wont play the music normally again if I start to play it again.

    Is there a timeout function for bluetooth? Like, it stops sending info to save power after a certain amount of time?
