I’m using a google pixel phone, the 9 pro xl to be specific, and i recently bought the sonos ace headphones. The headphones are nice spec wise however i was disappointed to see that the only Bluetooth codec i can use for wireless listening is SBC. I understand they support Aptx but google phones DO NOT support Aptx. I think its lame that I’m stuck with the most inefficient codec with such cool headphones simply because of the chip my phone uses. With Bluetooth 5.4 onboard it more than meets the requirements to add LE audio support and LC3. Aura-cast would be nice too for good measure but I’d love to see an update for LC3 support at the very least. Do you guys think this is possible to expect in an update?
Can Sonos Add LC3 codec support the headphones?
+5I didn’t know LC3, it seems could be the replacement of SBC in a future, improving it, but still far away in terms of HiFi than Sony’s LDAC or aptx HD.
As far as I know, your phone can work with aptx, just active this option after enable the developers mode.
