Earlier this week, we outlined five benefits LE Audio could bring to the AirPods Pro, especially if Apple supports the specification:

● 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 percent lower bit rate.

● Longer battery life

With the low-power LC3 audio codec, AirPods Pro will last longer for audio playback.

● Multi-stream audio

LE Audio can transmit multiple simultaneous audio streams between a source device such as an iPhone or Mac and the AirPods Pro. This will allow separate left and right AirPods to each have their own Bluetooth audio connection to LE Audio enabled devices for improved reliability.

● Connect multiple pairs of AirPods to your iPhone at once

LE Audio will allow multiple pairs of AirPods to connect to an iPhone, iPad, Mac or other device with Bluetooth 5.2 or higher at the same time. 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 iPhones and Macs simultaneously, eliminating the need to switch AirPods between devices.

Apple’s press releases and tech spec pages for the iPhone 14 and new AirPods Pro don’t seem to mention LE Audio or the benefits listed above, leading us to believe that these devices may not support LE Audio at the moment, but MacRumors has contacted Apple to make confirm. In July, the group behind Bluetooth said it expected to see increased availability of LE Audio-enabled products by the end of 2022.
