Windows 11 - Fix Bluetooth crackle, especially on AirPods
  1. Open old-style Devices and Printers settings via Windows+R, shell:::{A8A91A66-3A7D-4424-8D24-04E180695C7A}, find your Bluetooth headphones

    NOTE: Windows 11 makes it really hard to get to the old settings, and doesn't offer the same options from the new Settings app. You can also get to it from the Settings app with some digging: Settings > Bluetooth & devices > Scroll down to More devices and printer settings.

  2. Right-click to get to Properties

  3. Services tab

  4. Uncheck Handsfree Telephony

  5. Disconnect and reconnect headphones
