I have a airpod 2 and iphone 8 plus. I’m using ios 14.3 right now, also tried 14.4 beta 1 and noting changes. All sound activities cuts off for half a second then starts again(music, youtube, netflix etc). Sometimes the sound cuts out completely and does not come again without disconnecting and re-pairing the airpods. I noticed this problem happens when I use 5 ghz wifi. If I use the wifi 2.4 ghz band, there is no sound interruption. By the way I tried same airpods on iphone 6s ios 13.7 and works fine. Note: force restart the phone, restoring iphone, resetting airpods not work.
Sorry for bad english.
