It is unacceptable for a major brand as Samsung to not support all of the AptX codecs. They just want you to buy their crappy Galaxy Buds when there's better options out there.
@Joel O all samsung buds are crap in comparison to sth like Sennheiser MTW3. There is no excuse to not support aptx adaptive and HD codes! Samsung needs to patch them in!
If they just removed it because they wanna push their own standard, why are they still offering aptX HD on the Folds and why they don't remove LDAC? See, to keep aptX HD, Samsung would be forced to not just pay Qualcomm but also use their chips. This is a good reason for not supporting it. The problem is, furthermore, capitalism itself. Wouldn't companies like Qualcomm try to make money with their stupid gate-kepping practices, we would all agree to have one set of codecs that united us. No, we want to be greedy and cut ourselves, and then, we wanna blame the other ones. Their is already an awesome codec offering high sample rates, offering high bit depth, offering free to use. No one uses it. Why? Because gate-keeping and laziness make money. And just to go further, the license for aptX are that kinda messed up that even Linux not including them directly, only as inofficial multiverse stuff. Other codecs and even some proprietary codecs such as AAC and LDAC are out-of-the-box included in the PulseAudio for Linux because their is no trouble and no necessity in paying for it for the OS side. Qualcomm is the one who gate-keeping the codecs to maximize profit. Samsung only disagrees with this.
People don't know this as soon as you connect to something with aptX it automatically comes on on your phone, I get aptX HD on my 21 and now my s23 try it.
Yes it's a long-winded video, but, I greatly appreciate the detail you provided here. I recently bought a Avantree Torus AptX neck speaker to use with my metal detector... of which requires AptX LL, but I also want to be able to use that new speaker to listen to music from my Galaxy 10e phone. I'm going to give this trick a try. Thank you!
Just bought a Galaxy S21 with Snapdragon 888. Totally pissed it doesn't support aptX HD. I have several devices that use it as the best supported codec and I can hear the difference to regular aptX! I am desperate for a solution. Not sure about an external sound card though. Still watching this video.
FWIW, a major part of my issue was that I forgot to switch Pandora to high quality streaming. After I did that quality is acceptable via regular aptX but I'm still mad about it. Fortunately I have a BT receiver in one of my cars that supports LDAC. But the other car I am stuck with what I have and the best there was aptX HD...
Do you tested also the Eppfun AK3040Pro MAX? From the Manual: This product supports IOS, Android, MAC, LINUX, PS5, PS4, Nintendo, VR system devices, but the Type C interface must support DP function (some devices only support charging, and cannot support AK3040 Pro Max without DP) Aptx adaptive high quality: Orange (Red&Yellow), Aptx adaptive low latency: White, Aptx losses: Red Aptx HD: Green, Aptx LL: White, Aptx: Cyan (Blue&Green), SBC: Blue
It's unfortunate that the only solution we have (next to a custom ROM) is a bulky external adapter just because Samsung wants to push their own in-house scalable codec that isn't compatible with anything, over the aptx HD codecs which are compatible with many things
They just don't want to use Qualcomm chips all over the world which is required by aptX HD. In addition, they would need to pay license fees. If it would only about pushing their own hardware, they would remove LDAC support, too, right? But they don't because it's not about pushing their own technology, it's about money saving. The fundamental problem starts by using proprietary technology in the first place. Their's free liberal codecs with high bit depth and sample rates but no one is pushing it because it's all about money. Why do you think, does the EU defines industrial standards? Because capitalism sucks at this point too much.
The best transmitter for what your looking for is the Nura transmitter. It has Bluetooth 5.3, Aptx Aptx HD, Aptx Adaptive and Snapdragon Sound. No Aptx Lossless
I bought a Creative BT-W5 USB-C dongle to add Apt-x Adaptive to my old OnePlus phone, and to my laptops, after I purchased Soundpeats Air4 Pro earbuds, that have Apt-x Adaptive. I can confirm the Creative BT-W5 works flawlessly with Linux and Windows computers, and with my phone (note: turn OTG on when you plug in the dongle), and since it is USB-C, I don't need another adapter like in the video above (looks so ugly and unwieldy). I'm even using it with my work laptop, because Windows hates pairing with bluetooth earbuds, and this dongle solves that issue, as well as giving better sound and longer range.. It also works really well for calls on computers (MS Teams, in my case).
I do thank you for your attempt to let people know why this is necessary - but for me, this video was no help. Please indicate much sooner that you are going to suggest adding an external component to the phone in your video. I had to listen for 7:30 before I discovered that your were going to suggest adding a dongle to my phone. This is NOT what I was hoping you were going to suggest as a solution. I'm well aware of this type of solution and it is not a secret or a trick. So I was rather disappointed when I finally got to that point in the video. Cheers.
Thank you for your comment. So I can save 7:30 min of my valueable lifetime cause I was also looking for a software solution. Who would think about an external adapter...?
you are bough idiots and i will explain to you why is better not to skip: I talked and explain that software is not possible due Exynos chips on the mother board; instead saying thanks for the FREE idea you comment like 2 fouls that you are and skip the video; you want the idea rapid and on a plate; put your ass to work!
@@iTechnologyReviewssooo angry, but samsung have snap chips) And aptx hd not support because samsung pushing SSC. That is horrible move from my favorite company... Hello to Huawei i guess
Creative BT-W5 Smart Bluetooth 5.3 Audio Transmitter works perfect with Samsung Phones aptX Adaptive, High RES 24-Bit/96 kHz Audio, tested with S21FE Snapdragon888+ Momentum4 just plug and play
You don't need a dongle it will automatically connect if you have aptX speakers or Bluetooth compatible earbuds it worked with my S21 and also works on my s23 try it go into developer mode and you will see it come up aptx-hd they will automatically come up when you connect
@iTechnologyReviews I have an aptX receiver when I connect my phone it automatically comes up on the aptX HD, but yes I know it doesn't come up when you just press on it in developer
@iTechnologyReviews the aptX comes up and above the the HD button for high definition if I turn off the HD button also the aptX goes off so what I'm saying isn't HD and aptx hi definiton aptx

Samsung instead pushes their own codec SSC
Which isn't bad
But only Samsung audio devices support it

Hi guys what is the name of this or any "aptx Adaptive/Aptx HD/Aptx lossless" Bluetooth transmitter again?
The best transmitter for what your looking for is the Nura transmitter. It has Bluetooth 5.3, Aptx Aptx HD, Aptx Adaptive and Snapdragon Sound. No Aptx Lossless
Hi. It does not have a name just search on Google you will find it. It has the aptx HD logo on it!
It would be nice if they made this in usbc format.
Bardzo dziękuję za ten film, wszystko działa i to bardzo dobrze, pozdrawiam z Polski

No one could hear a difference!? False. Many people can hear a difference between 48kHz and 96kHz, even on low quality playback systems.
Why Don't you have a link to buy this product?

Hi. Yes you can
Just plug the DAC in, confirm that Tidal are allowed to use it and ready.

Hi. Good to know but this one Chinese does the job good.
How do you connect it? I have a S23U and momentum 4 and no idea how to pair each other. No pug and play in my case.
my BT-W5 does not connect to my Samsung S22
You don't need a dongle it will automatically connect if you have aptX speakers or Bluetooth compatible earbuds it worked with my S21 and also works on my s23 try it go into developer mode and you will see it come up aptx-hd they will automatically come up when you connect
If you can show me that s21 or s23 have aptx HD or adaptive and not the simple aptx into the developer mode, i will buy you a new sealed s23 ultra!!!
@iTechnologyReviews I have an aptX receiver when I connect my phone it automatically comes up on the aptX HD, but yes I know it doesn't come up when you just press on it in developer
@iTechnologyReviews the aptX comes up and above the the HD button for high definition if I turn off the HD button also the aptX goes off so what I'm saying isn't HD and aptx hi definiton aptx
Aptx is only 16bit Jason. Aptx hd is 24bit that's the difference and samsung don't have it
