For context, LDAC is one of the few wireless audio codecs stamped Hi-Res by the Japan Audio Society and its encoder is open source since Android 8, so you can see just how long Windows is sleeping on this. I’m excited about the incoming next gen called LC3plus, my next pair is definitely gonna have that.

        The HD version is pretty good, lower bitrate, but solid quality and tolerance for distance.

        Ldac if it’s an option, aptx HD otherwise.

        Side by side test with my headphones showed better speration of the range (including bass) and a more solid connection, especially while flying. Kept having LADC constantly try to bitrate switch on me, and when I set it on highest quality it kept cutting in and out at times. Sample size of 1 so YMMV.

          You can change it once connected, but every time it defaults back to LDAC

          ah, yeah a couple phones do this, IIRC SetEdit can fix this, but you should be careful if you do try to use it since it opens up a lot of settings that shouldnt be tinkered with

      For me it all depends on what I connect to, my head unit in the car defaults to AAC, my portable BT speaker is using LDAC, my bookshelf is using AptX-HD.

      Thanks Android for supporting all of them automatically!
