    We really need someone other than Qualcomm & Apple to come up with lossless Bluetooth audio codecs.

    TBF the whole Bluetooth audio situation is a complete mess

      Opus! It’s a merge of a codec designed for speech (from Skype!) with one designed for high quality audio by Xiph (same people who made OGG/Vorbis).

      Although it needs some more work on latency, it prefers to work on bigger frames but default than Bluetooth packets likes, but I’ve seen there’s work on standardizing a version that fits Bluetooth. Google even has it implemented now on Pixel devices.

      Fully free codec!
