Bluetooth SIG, which works for the development of Bluetooth standards, introduced its newest technology, Bluetooth LE Audio, within the scope of CES 2020 events. Now, there has been an important development for this new technology. It has been announced that Bluetooth LE Audio is ready for use. The new technology is touted as the biggest innovation brought to headphones in the bluetooth world.
The technology, which has been studied for years, offers very important advantages for consumers. For example, Bluetooth LE Audio compatible wireless headphones will be much more efficient than wireless headphones on the market. This means longer usage time. However, the advantages of the new technology are not limited to this. Users will get higher sound quality at lower bitrate with LC3 codecs that will be found on Bluetooth LE Audio compatible headphones. This will indirectly increase the usage time.
Countless headphones can be connected to one source!
Perhaps the most striking feature of Bluetooth LE Audio is that it removes limitations. You know; normally a smartphone is connected to only one earphone at a time. With Bluetooth LE Audio, that will change. Let’s say you’re at a gym or a movie theater. Bluetooth LE Audio supported headset and audio source will be able to connect to unlimited headphones at the same time and transmit sound.
According to the statements made by the Bluetooth SIG, Bluetooth LE Audio is built into the beta version of Android 13. In other words, smartphones that will receive the Android 13 update will be able to support this technology. Moreover; According to the team, some wireless headphones on the market will get Bluetooth LE Audio support with software updates. Wireless headphones to be released with support for Bluetooth LE Audio? These products are expected to be launched towards the end of 2022.
