Those differences have since reduced, as have the costs of excellent wireless audio products. Today, it&#8217;s possible to shop for an honest pair of Bluetooth headphones for fewer than Rs. 5,000, and obtain good audio performance straight out of the box.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">However, there is a small, quick, simple, and free trick which will assist you get a touch bit more out of your wireless headphones and earphones when using it with an <strong>Android smartphone<\/strong> \u2014 tweak the Bluetooth codec. Follow the steps below to seek out out how you&#8217;ll improve<strong> Bluetooth audi<\/strong>o on your <strong>Android smartphone for free of charge .<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>What is a Bluetooth codec?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Before we get into the steps, let&#8217;s explain the concept of Bluetooth codecs in short . Bluetooth relies on a selected program or \u2018code&#8217; which compresses data from the source device to quickly and seamlessly <strong>transmit wirelessly,<\/strong> then decompresses the info on the headset or speaker. Different codecs function differently, with a number of the newer and more advanced codecs ready to transfer more data packets efficiently.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The most commonly used <strong>Bluetooth codec is SBC<\/strong> (Sub Band Codec), which is taken into account the universal standard and is present on practically every Bluetooth device around today. However, there are newer and more advanced codecs, <strong>including AAC<\/strong> (Advanced Audio Coding), Qualcomm aptX, and Sony <strong>LDAC.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>How does it work?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Many Android smartphones allow you to tweak the codec in use, with the feature supported on from <strong>Android Oreo onwards.<\/strong> The OS usually chooses the SBC codec by default, but in some cases, you&#8217;ll be ready to change to a far better codec if available. When employing a Qualcomm chipset-powered smartphone with a pair of headphones that support the <strong>aptX or aptX HD<\/strong> codecs, for instance , the smartphone will automatically select the higher codec.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">At other times, switching the codec may be a manual process. Remember, the headphones or speaker also will got to support the codec so as for this to figure . Fortunately it&#8217;s a simple process that works on Android 8.0 Oreo and later versions.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>What codec should I choose?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This depends on which codecs are supported by your Bluetooth headphones, and this is often something you ought to check out before you purchase a replacement pair of wireless headphones. Support for <strong>high-quality codecs<\/strong> like <strong>Qualcomm aptX<\/strong> and <strong>Sony LDAC<\/strong> is right , but is typically limited to high-end <strong>headphones<\/strong> and <strong>earphones.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Many affordable headphones support the AAC codec aside from SBC. In these cases, manually switching to AAC could improve audio quality on your headphones, since AAC may be a more advanced codec than SBC. For high-end headphones, switching to Qualcomm aptX or Sony LDAC will considerably improve sound quality. While <strong>aptX<\/strong> will automatically activate on many <strong>Android smartphones, LDAC<\/strong> will need to be manually activated in most cases.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>How to change the Bluetooth codec on your Android smartphone<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Here&#8217;s the way to change the Bluetooth codec getting used by your Android smartphone and improve the resultant audio quality:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Activate Developer options on your smartphone if not already done. do that by going into your Android smartphone&#8217;s <strong>Settings &gt; About Phone\/ About Device &gt;<\/strong> tap on the build number of the phone quickly seven times. this may enable <strong>Developer options<\/strong> on the smartphone, supplying you with access to more tweaks and settings for the device. The Developer options are often found within the <strong>Settings<\/strong> menu once activated.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Pair your Bluetooth headphones and connect them to the Android smartphone.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">In the <strong>Developer options under Settings,<\/strong> scroll right down to the <strong>Bluetooth audio codec<\/strong> and tap it.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Select one among the codecs aside from the <strong>default SBC option<\/strong>. If your headphones support the codec, it&#8217;ll use the chosen option and improve the sound quality.<br \/>\nFor more tutorials visit our the way to section.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tweaking your Bluetooth codec on your Android smartphone will assist you recover sound from your wireless headphones.
