HP Pavilion X360 cr00037wm bluetooth connetivity/quality issues

This is a (very annoying) problem I’ve had since I got this laptop. Almost every time I use bluetooth, it starts cutting in and out thn goes to really low sound quality and continues to cut out. Yes drivers are up to date yes i’ve tried unpairing and reconnecting still won’t fix it. Should I just buy an external USB receiver? (which I won’t do unless I absolutely need to). Yes the speakers on my laptop are fine but I like being able to use my JBL flip 4 and not have the audio quality held back.
