All,
Does anybody have any fixes regarding the sound quality when using Bluetooth A2DP protocol? I use my Evo to mate with a Bluetooth receiver so I can listen to Rhapsody over my home stereo. The sound quality is flat. The high frequencies are not present. It sounds like a bad quality MP3. I know that its the A2DP causing the quality issue as directly connection (through 3.5 jack) is awsome.
The Apple 3GS A2DP sound quality was awsome. I am not sure why the Evo is not sounding good. Any help would be most appreciated.
Thanks,
Lance
i looked everywhere but i did not find anything. can gnex stream music to bluetooth devices with apt-x? htc one-x has it according to their website.
so, is it possible to integrate it via kernel or library file or is it a hardware thing?
i really like to listen my flacs loseless with my samsung hs3000 bluetooth headset. appearently with apt-x, music quality is like a wired headset ( according to samsung website)
if anybody wants more information, check this wiki page for apt-x
Anyone? I think this would be a great improvement for our phones. But it seems nobody has an information on this. I will research more and if i find anything, i ll let everybody know here.
Pretty niche question I guess given the lack of replies but one I'd like to know the answer to as I'd like to stream audio out to a QED uPlay using this codec. If you find anything would appreciate if you post back.

This guy seems to be having good luck improving avrcp to the GNex. I doubt many people are aware of the Apt-X codec.
here is an interesting read on future of apt-x
Is HTC's StereoClip The Future of Bluetooth Audio?
I would also love to know whether this is possible or not. Were you able to get any clarification?
Thanks!
Can't find an answer to this question, too.
If the Nexus would provide apt-x, it would be my new phone.
EDIT: It seems, that Bluetooth 3.0 is good enough for apt-x, so I guess there's no hardware limitation for the Nexus.
@ the Coders: Plz implement the apt-x Codec into the Nexus. I wanna stream hq-music to hq-speakers
Doesn't look good

Awesome post. I've got into this Apt-x thing, as I hate bluetooth (for audio). What a totally lame idea it is for any kind of quality. I just refuse to use it. Not only does it sound terrible, but it's a pain to use. Now comes this apt-x thing, which seems like a good step, but limited acceptance.
BTW, the Foxl is awesome, and now with this apt-x it's even better. Unfortunately, it costs a WHOLE lotta cash. But 'maybe' worth it. I have the v2 and really like it. it's unbelievable what this can do. I'm going to be getting the Galaxy note 10.1, so it's good to see that at least has it. I was hoping my Nexus 7 would, but alas it's not so.
Is there a possibility now for Gnex? BT3 is good enough and Samsung has licensed apt-x (works on S3)
BTW, the Foxl is awesome, and now with this apt-x it's even better.

Hi
Could it be the future is just a software port?
Any help from a developer welcome:

I currently have a wired pair of headphones connecting to a bluetooth receiver to listen to audio from the FTV 2 while on my bed. There is some interference and depending on where the receiver is placed, there is an occasional drop in sound for a split second, that reoccurs every 6 seconds.
Thus, my next best option would be to spend $50 on the Amazon's second gen Gaming controller that has the headphone jack. Wifi Direct is better than Bluetooth, but from the recent experience with my 2nd gen remote and there is very limited reviews regarding the audio on the headphone port.
So has anyone that purchased the gaming edition tried out listening to videos / audio / gaming sounds via the headphone jack on the controller?

I've been using the game controller headphone jack connected to a pair of AKG Q701 headphones. It sounds fine, no drop-outs or noise issues, but the level is a bit low. These headphones have low sensitivity and I normally use a booster amp when I connect them to my phone or tablet, so I don't think the low audio level is Amazon's fault. I did test a pair of high sensitivity in-ear headphones on the game remote and they were really loud, but they sound like crap compared to my AKG headphones.
Last night I was was using a pair of Bluetooth Sony headphones with e the Fire TV. They sounded great, but there was a noticeable delay between the video and audio. I did not notice the delay when I used the headphone port on the game remote.

I've been doing this as well. Th sound quality is great, but it sacrifices the controller's battery to the point that it really isn't economical. IF there were a rechargeable battery for the controller (I'm speaking of a controller dock instead of rechargeable AA's) then it wouldn't be a bad option. As it stands it's okay, but not ideal.
Maybe Amazon will come out with a rechargeable battery? Sort of like the XBone controller?
Just bought a jaybird x3 from Amazon I would say it cannot match the b&o play headphone comes with the phone with quad DAC enabled, anyone has better suggestion is that even Bose sport wireless will be about the same? Welcome any suggestion or I should stick with wired one just Bluetooth is so much more convenient, love to hear anyone with BeatX or similar ones
Replaced the standard ear tip with the foam type comes with jaybird x3 sounds significantly better
You need to use wired headphones to take advantage of the dac
I use the Creative Sound Blaster E3 combined with b&o play headphone that came with the phone and to me it sounds just as good or may be better than the phone with wired headphones. If the sound of the E3 is not up to par you can always substitute any 3.5mm headphone out for the B&O.
The Quad DAC will only activate with an audio cable plugged in. So unfortunately Bluetooth will not be able to take advantage of it.
However, the V20 does support AptX, which essentially allows for high quality audio through a BT headset, headphones, speakers, etc. Though I am far from an audiophile, I honestly do hear a definitive difference between an AptX supported headset vs a non AptX set.
Amazon has an extremely large selection of BT 4.1 (which features the ability to display the battery % of your headset on your phone), waterproof, AptX supported headphones. You just have to find the ones that fit your needs.
Good luck.
I use Samsung Gear IconX (truly wireless ones) with V20, very decent sound not much worse than included B&O H3! There's a bunch of them brand new unpacked on Ebay starting from like 80$ or so! Most folks change eartips on IconXs, the large ones from milliion year old Apple In-Ear Headphones with Remote and Mic worked for me famously, balanced sound and punchy bass, perfect for workouts. One very neat feature of IconXs that you can store 4gigs of songs and use as a standalone mp3 player and I personally think SQ is even better than paired with V20! Lastly, you can track steps and heart-rate but that's something I don't use...
I use the Apple AirPods when I need the convenience of Bluetooth. For wireless ear buds they sound really good when you pair them with Apple Music. I don't like the sound with Tidal tho.

Yes v20 actually does support aptx HD but not easy to find a headphone that supports that except from LG and from the reviews it seems doesn't matter so much

I don't have high standards by any means, but these headphones are perfect for me. Great sound, durable, sweat resistant, long battery life, etc.
Jaybird is at the top when it comes to bluetooth, and you won't find any bluetooth earbuds that sound better than the X3.

which show to support aptX:

now the LG V20 supports aptX HD:

Bose QC35 and Bose SoundSport Wireless, Word!
My brother has been through quite a few different ones including the Jaybirds and the best earbud pair imo was Monsters sport ones (ill have to get the model number for ya later as I dont recall). To be honest I thought my $30 Taotronic sport ones I got off Amazon sounded just as good as the Jaybirds did.
I've seen Bose has a new wireless in ear buds with active noise cancelling so those might sound pretty good. Haven't read anything about them yet though
I just posted this on another thread, well worth the price.

In my opinion the absolute best sounding bluetooth headset on the market right now is the Definitive Symphony 1, these things sound awesome for BT, even the bose BT headsets don't compare imo.
Best Bluetooth Earbuds
Have you seen the top 5 best sounding bluetooth earbuds you can buy. It might be the best for your need :laugh:
I have the Vmoda Crossfade Wireless 2 and they sound awesome with the phone. My Bludio UFO I just got today I think sound better at a much lower cost. Either way, the Bluetooth sounds great and the option to plug in for even better sound is there.
Don't mean to rain on the earbud parade but to get the best sound you need something with bigger drivers. I recently bought the Sharkk Claro from Amazon for $44.99 and it has ANC and Apt-X and it sounds pretty good.
I've been really happy with Mixcder over the ear headphones. I have a pair of the MS301 and my wife has the HD601. Both use Apt-x low latency, which seems to really help the audio quality.
I am a Samsung user since ages i just switched to Huawei because of the biggest display.
first i tested this handset Huawei Mate 20X with skull candy Bluetooth headsets voice quality was very poor. At full volume there's no bass or sounds like a premium audio quality at any way plus the phone tells you that Bluetooth headset is not supported so i am turning off Dolby atmos great.
no problem it happens so i tested my next pair of Bluetooth headsets (Apple Airpods) same message Dolby atmos is not supported and music quality got better not the loudest i must say but it was ok!
Overall screen quality looks ok! but not satisfied with the Audio system or whatever thing they have put in to drive the audio.
i have bought Samsung note series one by one never faced a single issue like this all my handsfree and Bluetooth headsets worked just fine and it sounds the best.
please give your value suggestions/feedback to improve the audio quality on this beast! i am liking the display but if its not going to sound the best i have to sell it as i listen to the music all the time its my first preference over watching movies.

you know world is moving towards wireless i think next year they will remove everything like there will be no USB port at all. everyone has to buy wireless chargers and to copy data it will sync over WiFi.
so i was expecting a decent Bluetooth audio performance since i have decent pairs of bluetooth headsets. now i have to buy wired so another unexpected expense
