A2DP bluetooth quality?

Hi,
Anyone that knows at which settings A2DP is operating by default?
Bitpool?
Samplerate?
Where could those settings be altered? "\system\etc\bluetooth"?

I'd be interested in improving A2DP audio quality as well - some tracks really suffer via bluetooth.
It'd be nice if there was a way to play mp3 files directly, rather than having to transcode them to SBC first...

Yes.
There's another post about this here.
thanks for the info, didn't know about that
Thought it was just me!
Yeah - the high frequencies like cymbal crashes are distorted.
Nice I'm not the only one then
Gave a try looking into the source code, but were'nt able to clarify it... Maybe someone else that's more experienced?
Sorry folks, but I were'nt able to post a URL in this forum because I'm a new user (half a year) and my account is not reviewed yet

Thanks for the reply, your headset is bluetooth 2.0, will bluetooth 1,2 be a problem to pair and listen music?
Also what are you using to listening? Nitrogen, TCPMP, Windows Media Player?
From the Wiki: "Bluetooth Core Specification Version 2.1 + EDR is fully backward compatible with 1.2, and was adopted by the Bluetooth SIG on July 26, 2007."
Just make sure the headset supports AVRCP and A2DP.

Thank a billion, will order it tommorow!

Cheap AptX Bluetooth Headphones Not Really AptX???

Anybody who cares about audio quality will know the difference Aptx codec makes to bluetooth audio quality. The developer settings in android 8 allow you to verify the codec being used over bluetooth without root and logcat. (Enable developer settings by tapping several times on build number in device settings) This is how I discovered that the Nokia 8 does not have support apt x. Some roms give you a clear notification when Aptx is being used which is very helpful but the rest of us have to dig deeply into developer settings. Getting a new device (Mi Mix 2s) showed that my cheap headphones;
AUKEY LATITUDE EP-B40 APT X BLUETOOTH HEADPHONES DO NOT SUPPORT APT X
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Aukey-Bluetooth-Headphones-Earphones-Sweat-Resistant-black/dp/B06XWSXGDK
There is one other 1 star reviewer on amazon who has come to the same conclusion and prompted in me a deep scepticism of the whole market, a suspicion that there are lots of companies who are mis-selling these products. I thought it might bring this mis-selling practice to heel a little if there is enough information out there. Maybe XDA community can help compile a list of dishonest manufacturers/products, and also the good ones, by verifying your bluetooth codec and reporting back here.

I'm planning to do such project. Please make a dump and upload it to https://btcodecs.valdikss.org.ru/
It will show which codecs are supported by the headphones.
