5 Benefits of Bluetooth LE Audio Technology

According to a newly published document in the Bluetooth SIG database, Apple recently tested an unknown component that supports Bluetooth 5.3. The document doesn't reveal any other notable details, but is similar to a document from last month that indicated that Apple is preparing for future devices with a Bluetooth version that supports LE Audio.

Five Benefits of Bluetooth LE Audio Technology

1. Improved audio quality:

According to the Bluetooth SIG, LE Audio includes a new low-power audio codec called LC3, which provides improved audio quality compared to the classic SBC codec, even at a 50% lower bitrate.

2. Longer battery life:

With the low-power LC3 audio codec, future AirPods Pro will have longer battery life for audio playback.

3. Multi-Stream Audio:

LE Audio can transmit multiple simultaneous audio streams between source devices like iPhone or Mac and AirPods Pro. This will allow separate left and right AirPods to each have a Bluetooth audio connection to a device that supports LE Audio audio for improved reliability.

4. Connect multiple pairs of AirPods to your iPhone at once:

LE Audio will allow multiple pairs of AirPods to connect directly to future iPhones, iPads, Macs or other devices and play audio simultaneously. Apple already has a feature that allows an iPhone or iPad user with AirPods to share audio with another person using AirPods, but it doesn't work with more than two pairs of AirPods.

5. No need to switch between iPhone and Mac:

LE Audio will allow AirPods to connect to multiple source devices like iPhones and Macs simultaneously, eliminating the need to switch AirPods between devices.

While the market for Bluetooth audio transmission equipment is growing steadily, the pace of innovation in Bluetooth audio technology is not only not stagnant, but accelerating - the newly launched LE Audio (low power audio) enhances the performance of Bluetooth audio, supports hearing aids, and adds Adding new capabilities for broadcast audio will undoubtedly create new products and use cases. It can be said that LE Audio will be a new fulcrum for the continuous growth of Bluetooth audio transmission equipment, and it will initiate a new future of Bluetooth audio transmission technology.

LE Audio's technological innovations also enable the birth and enrichment of new audio peripherals. LE Audio's low-power capabilities enable new audio peripherals, such as Bluetooth hearing aids, to be more widely used and can be more flexibly adapted to different form factors. With the application of LE Audio technology, hearing aids that are smaller in size, less intrusive and more comfortable to wear will appear, thereby improving the quality of life of the hearing impaired - according to data, there are currently 500 million people in the world who need hearing aids, By 2050, it is estimated that 2.5 billion people in the world will suffer from different degrees of hearing impairment, and the industrialization of LE Audio will bring good news to reduce or even remove hearing impairment.

In addition, LE Audio will provide people with new and unique audio experiences based on the newly added broadcast audio capabilities. This new feature enables audio source devices (e.g. smartphones) to broadcast one or more audio transmissions to an unlimited number of audio sink devices (e.g. headphones, speakers, hearing aids), which will enhance people to each other and their surroundings The way the environment interacts allows people to listen to clearer sound quality together, or to choose the sound they want to hear the most, so that the auditory senses are sublimated and they gain true hearing "freedom". With the introduction of this broadcast audio, Bluetooth technology will be used in public places, people will interact with audio in a variety of public places and environments, and have an unprecedented experience, more than 60 million locations are expected to deploy Bluetooth broadcast audio and long-term benefits.
