Qualcomm intends to make the audio you hear between your phone and a pair of Bluetooth earbuds sound as good as if it were a wired connection. Today at CES, the chipmaker announced aptX HD, a “newly enhanced” codec that delivers 24-bit music quality over a wireless Bluetooth connection.
Qualcomm previously introduced aptX to Bluetooth, which they say “revolutionized” wireless audio over Bluetooth by bringing the quality up to CD levels. With the new aptX HD, the audio only gets better with an increase from 16-bit to 24-bit.
Over the next year, you’ll start to see phones and tablets with the aptX CD codec on board. In the mean time, Qualcomm is making it available immediately so that others can begin to build in this new level of Bluetooth audio.
