I've tried lots of different solutions to get these two working nicely together.
So far I've tried:
-
Re-Pairing the devices
-
Removing and recreating all the Bluetooth plist files
-
Executing (defaults write com.apple.BluetoothAudioAgent "Apple Bitpool Min (editable)" 53)
Nothing seems to fix the drop outs in the audio. I was experiencing it while watching Netflix but I've just tried iTunes and that does the same thing.
Works fine when paired with my iPad Mini.
I bought the speaker shortly after getting the MacBook and it originally worked flawlessly, then an Update to OSX took out BT and WiFi, and got that fixed by deleted the plist files.
After the update to Yosemite nothing seems to fix it. It makes listening or watching anything but a pleasure and is actually now very annoying.
What should my next attempt be at fixing this?

I've had some success by installing XCode, then installing the associated hardware IO tools, which include the bluetooth explorer. The bluetooth explorer makes available tools..audio options, which lets you tune some settings.
The settings I found useful were to increase the bitpool (which appears directly related to audio quality), and to increase the buffer packets, which appears to make it more tolerant of temporary dropouts. YMMV.
