Bluetooth LE audio with the LC3 codec is supposed to improve call quality as well. There are already headphones that support that. I have not heard of any with drastically improved call quality though
Receive and transmit at full quality to make wireless headphones not sound like a phone call is all I care about… guess I’ll be waiting another 8 years
@@rainbowsquash673 Depends on your use case really. I prefer to be able to walk around the house and use them but when at the desk wired is for sure better. Basically wireless is for convenience and wired for audio quality but that by no means makes wireless headphones bad (even though most aren't great).
We are still using Bluetooth 2.0 for Audio and 1.0 for Hands Free (aka audio with microphone). Bluetooth 5.0 brought LE-Audio and I'm not sure there is a single implementation of it yet.
Devices compatible with Bluetooth LE Audio include the Google Pixel 7/8, Samsung Galaxy S23, Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Galaxy Z Flip 4 smartphones. When it comes to headphones the Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro, OnePlus Buds Pro 2 and Earfun Air Pro 3 true wireless earbuds are also confirmed to support it.
@@G0A7 Are you sure they actually use it? Or is it just the radio that implements the 5.2 spec. Because it would mean massive differences in how they work. LE-Audio is connectionless, has lower bitrate than classic radio and only supports one codec. I have no idea if it even supports bi-directional audio or if it is just broadcasting, like most LE-Radio stuff.
@@marcopfeiffer3032I am very curious about this as well, as proper documentation is nonexistent and the list of devices that even try to claim anything is extremely slim. What I will say tho is that connecting my buds2 pro/ buds3 pro to a PC or mac sounds noticeably worse than using them with my s23 (which claims to be using LE audio)
@@TheRybka30 That may well be but that is usually the case because some headset manufacturers use different EQ settings for different codecs. Android usually has the broadest bluetooth codec support. I would expect LE-Audio to sound worse, because the bitrate is much lower and the fixed codec is something specific to LE-Audio. But I haven't actually heard it yet and I'm also not that picky about audio compression. It just has to sound good.
@@triadwarfare Obviously it can be fixed. Not for old devices, but like codecs and other bluetooth features, it can simply be turned on if both devices advertise that they support it. Plenty of bluetooth features have been added in a backwards-compatible way like that. Honestly, I wouldn't even mind not supporting the legacy dual-mode thing on new devices. It's so bad that it isn't usable anyways.
In fact, Samsung adopted and used UWB long before Apple. It's just the usual NA based reality distortion field in action. That said, it is probably nice to see this feature being integrated into BT instead of requiring separate radios.
My only wish is for manufacturers to finally support LE-Audio everywhere! You have research for that feature to know, if there's even the possibility for it to exist.
Nothing for the audio?? WTH! The most important improvement needed to be in the minimum audio quality transmission and reception which should have been quite high.
Samsung delivers proper lossless 24-bit audio over Bluetooth 5. It is possible, you just have to be good at it. :) Only on their own and some AKG headphones, though. But, still. AKG is a Samsung company, so technically also their own headphones. Samsung has also been providing their own low-latency audio on BT for years. Allowing gaming audio on their headphones. They've always pushed BT innovation to the limits. The first time they delivered lossless 16-bit audio was about a decade ago. Apple still can't do 16-bit audio on their 600 buck "pro" headphones to this date.
switching from BT 5.0 to 5.4 alrady felt like a HUGE leap, I hope that the leap from 5.4 to 6.0 is actually even bigger than that and not just marketing
What are the differences between BT 5.0, 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, and 5.4 without looking it up? If you have to look it up anyway, what difference does the "name" make?
The problem is that 2.45 GHz is pretty much the only ISM band that's the same across all countries (meaning Bluetooth devices can be sold as-is everywhere). 900 MHz isn't available in Europe, 5.8 GHz has different cutouts in different countries (only 5150-5350 is safe across all countries, but restricted to indoors use in most countries, and that's going to be used by 5 GHz Wi-Fi a lot of the time), 6 GHz is even worse in that regard, and range goes down as you go up in frequency, so 24 GHz and up would barely let you get 10 meters away from the antenna before you lose signal. 2.45 GHz means Bluetooth devices don't face country-specific restrictions on usage, and you don't need to reconfigure your phone and earbuds based on the country you're in.
@@tim3172HSP/HFP is a Bluetooth profile for bidirectional audio that is used when you're actively recording through a Bluetooth device due to A2DP only supporting undirectional audio. HSP/HFP CVSD is capped at 8KHz, and HFP mSBC is capped at 16KHz. Both sample rates are significantly lower compared to even SBC which is 44KHz so yes, it pretty much is a Bluetooth issue.
All I want from a Smart lock is it to tell me if it is currently locked or not. I don't want it to have the ability to remotely unlock. If it can unlock remotely, even if you have to be 2 meters or closer, that still means that eventually a nefarious method will be found/created of unlocking it, by someone who shouldn't. Physical mechanical locks are the only locks I can trust long term. And I use trust to mean that they will work the same way, have the same weaknesses from the day I buy them to the day I replace them. A lock that has a way of remotely unlocking will eventually have an exploit created that renders the remote features as more of a liability than a convenience. A physical lock can be picked, but I buy it knowing that from the beginning, and other that just destroying the lock entirely, or completely bypassing the lock altogether, that will always be the only weakness.

Yet another Bluetooth version where they do nothing to accommodate microphone quality.
