Instead, seek out AAC in your headphones’ specification sheet. IOS users: forget about aptX (HD) – for now at least it remains irrelevant to your Bluetooth headphone needs. Think of SBC as a low power, low-quality fallback codec that keeps music playing when neither smartphone/tablet and/or headphone support AAC or aptX (HD).

Did you receive a nice pair of wireless Bluetooth headphones for Christmas? Has the manufacturer made a big noise about aptX (HD) support on the packaging? aptX developer Qualcomm asserts that their Bluetooth codec provides “wired quality sound – wirelessly.” Understandably, you want some of that good stuff. I basically experienced all issues described in this forum, but could not find any workaround.Īfter totally unpairing the system – both on iPhone side and on the Dell XPS side – I launched the Mobile Connect application on the PC, then re-established the connection with the iPhone again, and realized that it worked fine… when and IF the Mobile Connect app is NOT LAUNCHED on the iPhone. (it seems that at every disconnection, the Windows application was closed, then re-launched immediately, leading to multiple instances of its icon in system tray).
