Apple Explains Why Only USB-C AirPods Pro Support Lossless Audio With Vision Pro - lemm.ee

TL;DR: USB-C AirPods Pro support lossless audio with the upcoming Vision Pro headset due to the 5GHz band support in their H2 chip. The previous version only had 2.4GHz.

TL;DR There is enough bandwidth in 2.4GHz, but fuck you consumer, buy more AirPods.

According to Wikipedia the theoretical max bandwidth on the 2.4kHz bandwidth is 706,25 kbit/s downstream.

I don’t have data from Apple, but Qualcomms lossless Bluetooth audio transmits up to 1Mb/s.

So, a three minute internet search supports rather apples story than yours.

Wow. Not only incorrect, but incorrect in the worst way by fucking up maths by a factor of a thousand!

I didn’t do math, I typed 1 unit incorrectly. One that didn’t actually matter for the argument.
