So puzzle comes together.
It's not embody that keeps Squeezix's balls sufficiently legally squeezed - it's their deal with panasonic.
Apparently existing audio was not good enough for that bullshit of a system, so they made a hasty deal with embody to "enhance" the spatial shit.

Yup this officially now is super bad regarding the fix to this issue, I wouldn't be surprised if its not dealt with by 6.2 either since this is coming on February pretty close to 6.1 too. Big ouch

Even if this fixed the issue 100% I would not buy it, I game to lounge, to relax, not stick what looks like a VERY uncomfortable weight around my neck.

We can then hear, where the stuttering comes from even better

In the truest sense of the word: ... "Sound Slayer"

Hello! I just wanted to add to the voices of the people who are having this issue. It started in 6.01 for me, and occurs primarily in instances where a lot of battle effect sounds are playing at once, particularly alliance raids, trials, and 8-man raids. Thankfully I'm one of the lucky people for whom turning DirectX 11 off made the issue stop, but I'd rather not have to do it as a permanent solution as this has introduced other annoying issues for me (slow loading times, crashes, occasionally models don't load in). I just tested it again today in the hopes that 6.05 might have implemented a fix, but it did not. If there's any information I can provide that would be helpful in identifying what's going on, please let me know!

Is ok, sound popping issue does not exist as you can clearly see in the list of known issues.
By the way, just going to remind that this exists:

So it doesn't make the known issues in the 6.05 patch notes, I get told in an email from support that it's a known issue, the post-6.05 patch notes once again fail to list it as a known issue, and now they're flogging some ugly headphones.

I am absolutely astounded. Just wow.

Well, those are not exactly headphones - you put it around your neck.
But yeah, good reason to be astounded.

The only reason that i can think of why they haven't put it as "known issue" is because they have the big system and it's not reproduceable with their own hardware, that's why it's hard to trace and probably SE doesn't want to buy low end system. And they market the neckphones with confidence because it's just a small amount of people that experience that... I'm hoping i'm wrong but the truth out there lead me to this conclusion which is not fair.

This isn't an issue with low-end systems, minimum hardware requirements or upgrading. It's a software problem with the way the game handles audio. It can theoretically affect anyone, but it disproportionately affects certain hardware configurations, particularly those with AMD FX cpus. We have people in this thread (like the poster right above me) with brand new machines having the bug, and I have even seen people with Playstations complaining of the issue on twitter.
