the android device I might buy with the audio format I usually listen to.
Some of my flacs are way over 3 mbps (up to 6 mbps). The bluetooth on my desktop supports speeds up to 1 mbps. If the pixel is going to support similar rates, I don’t see how this is going work.
ETA: Im still going to nuke the device and install graphene or lineage on it. Do both foss support higher rates?
Bluetooth 5 is 2mbps. The actual throughput is closer to 1.4mbps, which is just enough to get CD quality lossless audio though provided that the transmitter and headphones both support a lossless codec.
If you want to listen to anything higher quality than a CD, get a good DAC and wired headphones.
There are wifi headphones too tho?
Yup they use their own receiver and 2.4gz network usually I believe.
