Hey rblumenfeld,

I'm sorry to hear you're encountering an issue with your SoundSport buds maintaining a connection to your MacBook Pro, but I'd be happy to help! What OS is your MacBook Pro currently running on? There have been reports from other users in the Community of slight issues with the Big Sur OS and Bluetooth connections.

If you haven't already, check your headphones firmware is up-to-date HERE. Are you staying within the 33ft range when using the headphones with the MacBook, and do you have any issues with other Bluetooth headphones connecting to the MacBook?
