The website for klipsch mentions 'Hi-Fi Bluetooth wireless technology (A2DP + aptX®) for lossless audio quality'
Now I know that aptx hasn't been standard in the nexus devices. A2dp has always worked though. Does anyone have insight into the headphones that may have used them or other knowledge.

I'm really happy with my new Nexus 5.
What i figured out - compared to my old Galaxy S4 - the Bluetooth Voice quality is really crappy.
I use BT only in my car, but the sound is horrible. Either for my side and also for opponent side.
Am I the only one with that issue?
Any idea how i could fix/improve it ?
What brand/model receiver are you using? I haven't had any complaints from people when talking through my JVC receiver and people sound good to me.
Fiscon Bluetooth Module fully integrated in my 2009 Audi A4. (basically it is the original Audi BT module)
With my Galaxy S4, voice quality is briliant. Not so with the Nexus 5.
Has anyone used any Bluetooth 5 or aptX HD bluetooth head phones with this device yet? I am needing some in ear bluetooth headphones but not really seeing anything on either of these two now that they are available/enabled on our devices. I know there are not really many options yet but curious if there are any early adopters that can give some insight
Anyone have any reviews? Looking for good audio quality but really not wanting to spend money if there really isnt much improvement.
8.1 (I think) brought aptX HD compatibility. I have a bluetooth headset that connects with aptX HD and it works fine.

8.1 has aptX for sure. Don't have aptX HD headphones, but pretty sure it works too! I got Major II headphones (aptX) and the sound is great if you ask me.
/\ Interesting, thanks for the screen grabs. I didnt realize LDAC was available on non-sony devices. I may have to include them in my headphone search.
My Sony WH-1000XM2 work mighty fine with LDAC on the PH-1.

glad to hear that, ill be checking out some of their in ear versions. I want something i can be a bit more active in vs full on/over ear but happy to have another higher quality option to look into
Apt X HD isn't a brand new codec like some people here seem to think but it's more widely supported on Android Oreo. I have used Bluetooth headphones on this phone with Apt X, Apt X HD and SBC. The Bluetooth version the headphones use is more important than the codec. Bluetooth headphones with Apt X and BT 4.1 are far preferable to ones with Apt X HD and BT 4.0. Don't buy any BT 4.0 headphones even if they seem like a fantastic deal or they get great reviews. BT 4.1 transmits data far more quickly than 4.0 and is much better suited for listening to music. BT 4.0 is also susceptible to interference from the phone's data signal and other sources. That's much less of an issue with 4.1.

Well so far these sound the most interesting, bluetooth 4.1 but they support all of these formats: SBC, AAC, aptX, aptX HD, LDAC
Would let me play around and listen for which sound best to my ears
I just got the EarStudio ES100 which has dual DACs and supports AptX HD so you can use any of your favorite wired phones with it. If you want don't need the dual DACs, there's plenty of AptX HD receivers on Amazon as well.
LG Tone Platinum HBS-1100 support APTX-HD. They have been working great for me. 10 hour battery life and great sound quality.
Can anyone confirm the codecs supported?
My HTC 11+ supported all, SBC, AAC, aptx, aptx-hd and Ldac.
I know the Nex supports aptx and Ldac but does it support AAC? I"m tempted by the Bose qc35s but not if I"m limited to SBC.
Any assistance appreciated.

Hi
All I can say is that AAC is listed under developer options/bluetooth codecs.
When I am using the Bose Soundsport the chosen codec is the SBC and AptX for the Sennheiser Momentum.
Cheers
Has any of you had the chance to compare Vivo Nex S audio chipset to other great DAC's like for example... The Axon7?
How would you put it, headphone jack plugged, sound wise quality?
Thank you.
Haven't had the opportunity to compare with the axon 7 but have compared to Galaxy Note 9. With the HiFi turned on in the Vivo Nex settings and the adjustting the equalizer settings, the Vivo blows the Note 9 away. (using Bose qc35 plugged in by the way). Also... When using headphones that are plugged in, you have access to more audio settings that are not available when using headphones via Bluetooth.

Thanks, I tested with a friends beats and my 66 Audio BTS and they both used SBC but used AAC on my HTC U11+.
Its a pity.

I'd put it comparable with the Axon 7 but behind the LG G6's quad dac.

Thank you guys so much for the feedback!
That's exactly what I needed to know. ?
I recently paid for the full premium Tidal streaming music service. I did this to get the best audio quality with their lossless HiFi bitrate. I'm thinking I may not even be getting the benefits of the higher bitrate because of the hardware and how I'm using it. I am using it on my S9 plus but exclusively using it with bluetooth. Bluetooth into my car stereo and bluetooth into my Anker Liberty Air earbuds. The earbuds only support basic codec as well.
My question is am I receiving any benefit from the HiFi bitrate ($19.99!) since I'm only using it with bluetooth with car/earbuds. Would say youtube audio give me the same sound ($9.99)
Thanks
I was always a huge proponent of LG's DACs. The ESS Sabre DAC gives manufacturers a lot of range when it comes to distinct sound signatures. I was always big on the Galaxy Notes up until my 7 was damn near ripped from my hands. lol. I remember the last time Samsung really focused on sound quality was (I believe) the Note 4 when they used a tuned Wolfson DAC.
With that said, USB-C audio is pretty new to me and I'm learning as I go. I bought two dongle DACs for my two cars. Sonata's HIDIZS for the Acura and the SpectraX (which uses a newer version of LG's ESS Sabre) for the Honda (aftermarket system). For around the house I use the packaged AKGs which seem to do a good enough job. On occasion I steal the HIDIZS dongle from the car and use my 1More Quad Drivers.
I recently subscribed to Amazon's new HD music service which I read can reach a ridiculous bit range (32bit @ UltraHD setting). So here comes my question considering the hardware I use;
Lets say you have a phone that is capable of X-output... does/can the dongle DAC supersede the capability of the phone? For instance, my HIDIZS dongle DAC is capable of 24bit/192KHz and respectively, the SpectraX is capable of 32bit/384KHz. If my source file (music) is compressed at that level, will the dongle DAC actually decode at that level, regarless of the phone's capability? Or is the phone a bottleneck?
With that said... do we have any information on the capabilities of the Note10?

If your dongle does work then its outputting at it whatever resolution it says on screen. there is no analog signal thru the usb c only digital. The conversion takes place at the dac, so whatever your dac's capabilities are, that is the max you can go. For what its worth, the audio is **** on the note 10's included akg's compared to the lg v40 or even the s9+ with the 3.5mm variant of the same akg's .the note 10's speakers are really good though. Do you use usb audio player pro? Its pretty good for hi res audio .though i don't think it supports prime music yet.

Thanks for the clarification. I haven't used the USB audio player yet. I'm really enjoying Amazon Music HD. Some of the remastered u
UHD songs are good but some of the more recent UHD content like Chainsmokers' albums sound phenomenal. I'll check out the audio player to see how it works.
