According to Vedantam, the headphones harness Snapdragon Sound along with Qualcomm aptX Lossless technology to provide enhanced audio clarity and detail, offering near-lossless wireless audio and reduced latency, making them ideal for gaming and video playback. This technological blend employs Qualcomm’s Bluetooth High-Speed Link coupled with Qualcomm aptX Lossless to ensure seamless audio transmission even in busy environments.

He noted that every element, from codec optimisation to connectivity improvements, has been meticulously adjusted to achieve consistent, high-fidelity performance.

The chip also boasts a gaming mode featuring 68ms low-latency audio alongside a voice back-channel, essential for in-game communication. Additionally, the chipset supports multipoint Bluetooth wireless connectivity and third-generation adaptive Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) to effectively block out environmental noise.
