Why Your Next Headphones NEED Bluetooth LE

@paulAntill sits down with André Fredriksson of Marshall Headphones to learn more about Bluetooth LE and how it could change how we interact with the world using wireless audio.

Bluetooth LE is introducing exciting possibilities. From watching the big game at a sports bar to taking a walking museum tour in our preferred language, our headphones will unlock new ways of tuning in to the world around us. But does it mean we’ll have to upgrade our phones and headphones to take advantage of it? Marshall is adding this new tech in their updated headphones with the Marshall Major V and Marshall Minor IV and we can expect more brands to follow.

Hi, can you use the usb c for connection to audio as well?

I only have 2 Bluetooth codec's on my Snapdragon 888 based smartphone - APTX HD & LE - Unfortunately, my Sony headphones don't use the APTX HD codec, so forced into using the LE codec .... I don't know if this is bad for music quality, but my headphones are worth $300 🤔

Thank you for answering many of my concerns, I have had two Home Line iii speakers for a long time I hope to attach them in stereo, I could wait until the release of Android 15 the software update where le audio is activated, or maybe before taking into account the beta versions of android 15 and the implementation of aurocast in Samsung s23 and s24, ¿?

bluetooth is confusing but this is totally helpful!

Must disagree with review. Own the Stanmore II and the Emberton II. Was going to stereo pair 2 of the Stanmore's. The Bluetooth LE mentioned has been around for at least 2 years. Can never get it to work properly and never able to stereo pair Stanmore's together. Bluetooth LE does not work. Consistently loses connection if discovery devices are ever found. Limited applications. Yeah so, don't wish to be disagreeable but it doesn't work. From a consumer standpoint, it's not a selling point.
Marshall has been sold to Swedish speaker company Zound.

I’m actually really interested to see how big names like Apple integrate it into their technology!

This video completely misses the point of Bluetooth LE *audio*.

For all it’s worth, it’s the next version of Bluetooth audio, offering lower latency, way better microphone quality and yes, lower power usage on both headphones and sources like smartphones.
