  Hello there,
  
  Could you please check your Audio MIDI Setup settings under System Preferences and see if the sample rate is set to 44100Hz for Output? If it isn't set to that, please do so. Thanks.

  It is set up as you said as it was.
  
  So is there anything else you would suggest to solve this problem?

  @Haven2258 : From my experience, it seems that Boom 2 is specifically designed to be used with either the built in speakers or the headphone jack. When used with anything else (I have tried Bluetooth headphones and a third party sound card via Thunderbolt), the default gain applied seems to be too high. My solution is to either lower the gain by lowering the whole equalizer preset until no distortion occurs.
  
  It would be great if there was a global pre-gain that could be configured for each output source.

  Thanks for your information!
  Now I have just lowered the whole equalizer, it works.
  
  But I think maybe it is a better way to adjust the equalizer by hand to fit my own bluetooth speaker to the best.
  
  Thank you again.

  Try a different Bluetooth receiver for the computer if the headphones sound fine with other devices, or check for an updated driver for the one you have. Also make sure you are testing things with a decent distance, if you are comparing them to the iPad when they are close to it but the computer they are far away, that will make a difference.
