    2024 I finally tried some Bluetooth headphones after maybe 10+ years.

    Still using SBC by default, still no duplex HD audio, and still static driver noise at idle.

    What is even the point lol. SBC-XQ only solves the first problem which is still inferior to even the cheapest of quality 3.5mm cable.

    Even my Nintendo DS sounds better and it’s limited to 32Khz audio lol.

      Jeez, were one of the two devices 10 years old? That hasn’t been my experience for a long time (except the duplex audio issue. I can’t believe it’s still terrible.)

      Then again, I mostly use BT for the convenience. Being able to do yard work with zero wires is amazing.

      I wonder what you would think of LDAC if you’d ever try that
