MODERATORS
Not sure who's exactly at fault for this but the practical implementation of LE Audio (or lackthereof) made me pretty disillusioned with new BT features. That standard is almost 5 years old (released with BT 5.2 in 2020) and basically on most combinations of (LE Audio enabled!) hardware it simply doesn't work. Some OEMs put out compatibility lists that ridiculously show 95% of (LE Audio enabled!!!) hardware incompatible, including most OF THEIR OWN FUCKING DEVICES.
Compatibility list for Creative BT-W6:
(screenshot is bodged in the middle idk how to fix that sorry)
So now BT 6 comes with LC3+ support which may or may not be the greatest mobile codec ever, but even LC3, which is the standard, free codec for LE Audio is far from being usable, then I don't know how a licensed LC3+ will ever be adopted.
My earbuds have cables, so they can't get any better.
Same, I have both and you know damn well which ones stay in their case.
Bluetooth works great when it decides to actually work. Such a cumbersome technology
Are you still using BT 4 stuff? Since 5 became commonplace I haven't had a single issue.
My only gripe is that my phone will automatically connect to known devices and there's no way to stop that other than forgetting the device.
Hell If I know. I have a lot of older Bluetooth devices that I love and it seems like I'm always having connection issues. Some manufacturers are better than others.
