Bluetooth SIG Reveals New High Data Throughput (HDT) Standard Increasing Speeds up to 7.5 Mbps, or 4x More than Current Bit Rates

[Peter_Brosdahl]

The Bluetooth Special Interest Group has announced the next standard for the popular wireless protocol, which has undergone significant changes in recent years. Bluetooth HDT (high data throughput) is a major step forward, with transfer speeds reaching up to 7.5 Mbps. The SIG has stated that this improvement could greatly reduce power usage by transmitting […]

Well now it makes sense why everyone is using their own wireless for higher bitrate communications.

Even for headsets. This might make it fast enough to have audiophile stereo and mic on a headset!

I mean you CAN get that but you pay oit the nose.

Yeah, I forget the different ones but have read about them. There's been a couple of newer compression techniques over the last couple of years but I think they top out at 24/48 or maybe 24/96 but this could potentially do much better with little or no compression needed in transmission.

Yea mine are 24/96.

Anything higher than 16bit 44.1Khz is overkill for output... matters for capturing and processing audio more (but not for voice stuff captured off of headsets).
