Yes, that’s the problem with the AAC coding and most other methods of sending data from a device to a Bluetooth speaker, headphones etc, you’re not only listening to a file - most likely compressed - but its being compressed yet again hence more loss of quality though - as you say - its probably

Its hard to say if ApTx will be included - but from beta testing iOS I feel that the Bluetooth code has been rewritten or upgraded. Only some brands of Bluetooth chips support the Codec. For a few years now, Apple have been promoting an AAC Bluetooth Codec - likely working on the desire to av

Hi Dane. I purchased the H6 for, I believe, £470 in December of last year, from a London shop. It's very difficult to use as a blind guy and you will need sighted assistance when setting every thing up, ready for a session. Mr Neil Ewars, once from Blind Cool Teck, did a podcast on this mac

Yes indeed, we’ll see tomorrow but I doubt whether Apple consider APTX a priority and why do I say that? Well its been around for quite some time now and Apple have had plenty of time to introduce the technology to their Smartphones and other devices, I believe the hardware is there already. Ano

I think the newer model supports NFC though as you said, that’s hardly useful if you have an iPhone. > On 7 Sep 2016, at 7:29 AM, Anders Holmberg wrote: > > Hi! > Sounds intresting. > Do they support nfc too? > My new bose does but i don’t think the Iphone does so i have to get me an > android

Hi! Sounds intresting. Do they support nfc too? My new bose does but i don’t think the Iphone does so i have to get me an android instead. THe noise cancellation is good for me as i don’t like the sound from cars through closed headphones. /A > On 6 Sep 2016, at 07:05, Dane Trethowan wrote: > >

Hi! Think another list member wrote to say that they had one of these recorders. I’d be interested to know what the user of the Zoom H6 thinks of his recorder, I have the Zoom H1 and I’ve been using it for the best part of 6 years now. There are some things to be aware of with the Zoom but those t

Thanks for that. I did know that the noise cancellation facility of the MM550 wasn’t all that good, I’ve not tried it as yet and I really don’t care about it all that much myself . So the newer model did exactly what I pretty much thought ought to have been done in the first place, allowed for c
