This is interesting but I don't fully understand what you mean by "implement the profiles on top of Bluetooth 5.2 in order to support the different audio use cases"? Does this mean the chipsets that have 5.2 will require a firmware update or something? Thanks

Basically, the 5.2 specification lays out the foundation for LE Audio, which primarily includes what’s known as Isochronous Channels (needed to support streaming use cases). However, the specifications that define the upper layers which utilize the new features introduced in 5.2 for LE Audio use cases are not available yet and will be released later this year. In order for companies to implement a standard that allows interoperability between devices (e.g. headphones from manufacturer A working with a TV from manufacturer B), they need to abide by a common specification which is what these “Audio Profiles” will provide. So, I believe what you’ll see is that chipset manufacturers will not release a 5.2 Bluetooth chipset that says it’s LE Audio-compatible before these profiles are implemented (don’t quote me on that, though) Keep in mind that the features in 5.2 that provide the support for LE Audio are in fact optional, so not all 5.2 chipsets will ends up spring LE Audio.

@@mohammadafaneh3481 , When you say profile, is it like going to be new Bluetooth profile like HFP, A2DP. Is LC3 tied up to LE audio. I mean would LC3 make it into classic audio as another version A2DP. I mean does the mobiles(source) that are on v5.0 can take advantage of new features(assuming the sink is 5.2 device) by upgrading profiles just through software.

@@saiki4116 AFAIK, they will not back port to A2DP and classic BT protocols. LC3 is a very efficient where the audio is stereo quality atop BLE protocol.

I'm signing off on this.

I can't imagine using Bluetooth, I have so many wired headphones!

No talk whatsoever about latency do I doubt it

How do u deal with latency :p

I don't understand. What setup are your referring to? I use a Bluetooth headset with a microphone often. But that has nothing to do with BT 5.0. BT 5 was all about BLE not Classic.

@@GaryExplains I see, but still, didn't BT5 come with a big bandwidth improvement over 4? I feel like there was a ton of misinformation when it came out, and I may have fallen for it, but that was the impression I got from back then. As for what I meant about audio, it's the fact that you cannot use stereo audio and the microphone at the same time on most (if not all) headsets; when you use the microphone, as in a call, headsets switch to super low bitrate mono audio which is fine on a phone call, but when you use something with higher quality like Discord or have anything playing in the background you immediately notice how dreadful it sounds.

There was indeed lots of misinformation. A big source of that misinformation was MKBHD. Please watch these two videos of mine that should help: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ipNzg9KTp7fNZnk.html and kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bZtmn8V90Jmloas.html

THIS! I want to use my headphones connected to computer. There is no way to get good quality audio and mic at the same time. AptX-HD or AptX LowLatency to view movie or game works with a special AptX dongle but does not work together with mic. Apple use their W1 chip. BT alliance should create a new high quality communication standard over with focus on latency and quality, the bandwidth supports it.

@@GaryExplains Able to ask the BT developers if BT5 (LE or not) to support communication with high bitrate and low latency? Combine AptX LowLatency and voice at around 160kbit. Right now when you activate mic it returns to bad quality audio and AVRCP. Some manufacturers (Apple) have implemented their own solution for this.

No word on audio quality improvement??? Did you even watch the video?

@@GaryExplains Gary, my BT headphones sound quite different when using BT vs wired. The bass and nuances seem to suppress. Since, the BT life is being forced upon us ( I have OP7), I just expect the audio quality of wired and wireless to exactly match, considering quite some time has passed by since the audio jack removal move. Also, latency doesn't seem to improve either, which means everytime I wish to play a game, I need to pull out a stupid dongle and also the charging process of my phone cease to exist. Whatever you said belonged to BT LE and considering our phones don't use it while transmitting audio as you vividly said, I don't see much improvement. I am not any tech critic. I just want tech to evolve at suitable pace which unfortunately often lags due to the bold moves of some companies. That is all.

So I don't really understand what you are looking for. This is about BLE Audio. The new LC3 codec is better than SBC, i.e. there is an audio quality improvement. If you are looking for better Bluetooth Classic quality then look at aptX and LDAC.

@@GaryExplains I just want BT to develop so that it exactly matches the wired quality in terms of sound quality and latency. Nothing else. It pisses me that companies are forcing upon us unfinished tech. I admire your work. I really don't understand why you are not able to get what I want to say.

Soham Agarwal Realme X2 Pro has a headphone jack and is made by the same parent company as OnePlus. It is a better version of the 7t.

Didn't get the joke 😒

@@ShazmilNassar really?

@@jacasarin no jokes apart I swear o didn't understand the joke. . . Why did apple leave. . .

You are comparing to completely different kinds of codecs. One is for storing data, one is for transferring it. When transferring data, especially via a wireless connection, you will always have data loss or incorrect received bits. The codec, in this case LC3, has to compensate for that through error correction. When compressing a file, like when using MP3, you don't have these problems because every bit gets saved the way it is intended to be respectively the medium (HDD, SSD) having it's own error correction.

@@TheFreezeChill Doesn't the transport layer take care of that? Or is this codec actually a part of that transport layer?

@@soberhippie To be honest I don't know. When having a second thought about this you might be right. Maybe the Bluetooth codecs are better optimized for real time en/decoding for lower latency...

Because currently HFP/HSP only supports CVSD or mSBC.

Yes it is a better compression algorithm which means the data can be sent over BLE rather than Bluetooth Classic.

Now that L3 or Le audio is out, what a disappointment...

Impact in what way?

@@GaryExplains i want to ask aptx hd will be available through LE AUDIO or it is going to be classic Bluetooth...

Since aptX HD has a higher bitrate than SBC then there is little chance it will work on BLE. BLE is slower than classic, so the codec needs to operate at lower bit rates while increasing the quality, that is what LC3 aims to do.

@@GaryExplains thanks

Not comparable. One is for high fidelity listening, the other is for low latency everyday audio streaming. The quality will still be better than SBC and AAC, but nothing that will threaten LDAC on the pure audio quality side of things. Latency will be really low though.

No, because it is more than just a codec.

Already possible with BT5.0. Samsung phones have "dual audio" in the settings but don't know about others.

@@RealLifeTech187 My Pixel doesn't have such a setting, but that's no surprise since Google doesn't implement proprietary features. They don't use Qualcomm Quick Carge or analog audio via USB C either.

@@TheFreezeChill They use USB-PD and want it as the single charging standard for android which would make great sense since quick charge (Qualcomm) + Fast Charge (Samsung) are almost identical to USB-PD by now. The not compatible is only VOOC (BBK electronics) But yeah if Google would properly add features then there wouldn't be so many custom UIs and they could solve fragmentation.

Yes, I can see the confusion. Those two numbers aren't directly comparable. The basic physical layer throughout for Bluetooth Classic is 3Mb/s. Bluetooth LE is MUCH slower and doesn't have the capacity to handle the SBC Bluetooth codec.

What do you mean by *sigh* ??? LC3 is now in real devices and supported by Android.

@@GaryExplains intel be200, a bluetooth 5.4 le audio compatible ™️ Its le audio still doesn't work My bluetooth 5.3 headset i just bought doesn't have le audio, because its protocols are opcional even though 2 on-ear headphones from the same company have le audio My android 14 phone does not have le audio, its locked or the 5 .2 phone doesn't have the optional hardware.

I don't have any LE hardware either, but that is because I haven't bought any. I don't have a hammer action drill (power tool) either, but that doesn't make hammer action power tools are useless, it just means I don't have one. If you want LE support buy a device that has it.

Yes, but it isn't a standard, it is a proprietary solution from Samsung.

@@GaryExplains thought it was part of bluetooth 5? Which samsung has been shipping in phone already.

@@skatcat743 Absolutely not. Bluetooth 5 only added to the BLE part of the specification and has nothing to do with audio as audio is over Bluetooth Classic

You may remember the video explaining Bluetooth 5.0

@@alepharcane99 Hmm, no it was some type of audio advancements. There was a speaker bar and other speakers that were being tested at a conference/convention.

@@alepharcane99 *MUBALLIG DALVI!* *HAPPY NEW YEAR FELLOW CLASSMATE!*

I mentioned the possibility of a new audio standard for Bluetooth when I looked at the Mediatek Dimensity 1000 because MediaTek had a slide that mentioned "BLE Audio".

I also had a video from CES 2019 about MPEG-H. It also includes the broadcast ideas. But I had to remove the video as there was some content in it that the interviewer (and the company he worked for) felt a bit nervous about.

You could strap an old MP3 Player to some headphones xD

TheFreezeChill, yes that would be better than Bluetooth headphones. Just wondering if any manufacturer has already done this in a non-diy and smarter way. Flash memory is cheap and the size of the MP3 players is suitably small for incorporation in a headphone.

If you mean 64kbps Ogg Vorbis, it is very distinguishable from CD quality...unless you you have cloth ears. The free tier of Spotify uses 160kps and that sounds like trash

@@alepharcane99 I know, I was joking

LDAC, by far

We've yet to find out. It's probably going to be LC3 which combines the benefits of previous versions.

Depends how you define "better". Better quality? Better fidelity? Better compression? Better at lower bitrates? Better power efficiency? Better what?

@@GaryExplains better in terms of sound quality or bitrate

@@mikediezel0923 Since there are no LC3 implementations to tests this is just pure guessing, but in terms of overall quality I guess LDAC is better, but in terms of quality at lower bitrates then LC3 is better. Also, at the moment, LDAC doesn't work over BLE.

Not that I know of.

@@GaryExplains Ok you look like you could be brothers 😁

Did you not watch the video? If you don't use a codec it will kill the battery plus there isn't enough bandwidth in everyday scenarios.

Not really.
