Wirelessaudio has come a long way, but we're only just getting started. With better quality, longer battery life, and more features, here's what's coming next.
Wireless audio has been on a tear for years. From the earliest days of Bluetooth stereo to the current state of the art with active noise cancellation , Bluetooth multipoint, and wireless charging, the products and their underlying technologies just keep getting better.
Related Two years later, we’re finally beginning to see the first LE Audio-compatible devices arrive on the scene. When paired with a phone that also supports LE Audio, these headphones, earbuds, and speakers will use a new default Bluetooth codec called LC3. The Bluetooth SIG says that LC3 will offer the same audio quality as the current default, SBC, even when using only half as much data.
What would you even use this for? Think of airport announcements, art gallery and museum tours, real-time translation feeds at conferences, audio feeds from the TVs in your gym. All of these can be broadcast, and you’ll be able to select them on your smartphone in the same way that you can currently look for and connect to a public Wi-Fi access point.
That’s why all eyes are now on ultra-wideband technology, or UWB, for short. UWB is designed to send tons of data over very short distances while needing as little as 10% of the power used by Bluetooth. We’re talking across-the-room versus across-the-parking lot distances. And it might just be the perfect solution for folks who want a wireless replacement for the headphone cable that has been the only way to get genuine hi-res audio quality .
Second, Apple has been in a strange situation for a while now: Apple Music was recently upgraded with a catalog of lossless, hi-res tracks, included with each subscription, but the AirPods Max don’t support these tracks at their full quality, even when using a wired connection. UWB could remedy that.
