AirPods Pro 2 will support Bluetooth LE Audio technology

Bluetooth 5.2 introduced support for the new LE Audio audio specification.

Apple recently tested an unknown component that supports Bluetooth 5.3.

– Improved audio quality: According to the Bluetooth SIG, LE Audio includes a new low-power audio codec called LC3, which provides improved audio quality compared to the classic SBC codec, even at a 50% lower bit rate % .

– Longer battery life: With the low-power LC3 audio codec, future AirPods Pro will have longer battery life for audio playback.

– Multi-Stream Audio: LE Audio can stream multiple simultaneous audio streams between source devices like iPhone or Mac and AirPods Pro. This will allow separate left and right AirPods to each have a Bluetooth audio connection to a device that supports LE Audio audio for increased reliability.

– Connect multiple pairs of AirPods to iPhone at once: LE Audio will allow multiple pairs of AirPods to connect directly to future iPhones, iPads, Macs or other devices and play audio simultaneously. Apple already has a feature that allows an iPhone or iPad user with AirPods to share audio with another person using AirPods, but it doesn't work with more than two pairs of AirPods.

– No need to switch between iPhone and Mac: LE Audio will allow AirPods to connect to multiple source devices like iPhone and Mac at the same time, eliminating the need to switch AirPods between devices.
