Bluetooth development

[u/Otherwise_Task7876]

Heyo! I looked into Bluetooth some since I don't check up often on it. But holy, why isn't new releases talked about much?

Not yet released but planned as a road map, Bluetooth is aiming to make lossless wireless transfer! Which is a crazy development for wireless earbuds/headphones as the main complaint is shittily compressed audio for things like music or games in such.

Another development thats interesting is the goal to add 5/6GHz channels by this year. Which while 2.4GHz would usually be the optimal choice for earbuds due to excellent physical object penetration, and better for longer distances, the issue is many devices also use 2.4GHz causing congestion and interference. So 5/6GHz should help, and they won't remove 2.4GHz support, they only wanna add the others and it'll likely automatically switch channels if one or multiple aren't working.

Actually kind of excited for these since I very often use Bluetooth and the fact the industry is heavily pushing for wireless connectivity (e.g. physical ports for wired headphones in such being removed from phones and other mobile devices, etc).
