Revolutionary wireless earphones with lossless audio, Wi-Fi, and massive range coming in 2024،
Get ready for a sonic revolution Qualcomm unveils its latest S7 and S7 Pro Gen 1 sound platforms at the Snapdragon Summit. These cutting-edge audio rigs are designed to power your headphones, earbuds, and speakers, taking your audio experience to the next level.
So what’s the problem ? Let’s break it down:
Super intelligent audio: These platforms use in-device AI to make the audio experience personalized and responsive. AI is leveraged in applications such as improving phone call quality or optimizing the active noise cancellation profile based on the user’s environment. The new chips offer six times more computing power and nearly 100 times more AI power than previous generation platforms.
And here’s the best part: the magic of Wi-Fi: The S7 Pro is special because it can seamlessly switch between Bluetooth and Wi-Fi when you’re away from your phone or computer. This significantly extends the connection range compared to using just Bluetooth: you can walk around your house or campus, listen to music or make a call without any interruptions.
No compromise on quality: If you’re a fan of top-notch music quality, these platforms support lossless music up to 24-bit, 192kHz. While Bluetooth alone simply doesn’t have the bandwidth to enable lossless audio transmission, the S7 Pro’s Wi-Fi can zoom up to 29 Mbps – more than enough to stream high-end audio. resolution through services like Tidal.
Dino Bekins, vice president and general manager of Qualcomm, said: “These platforms set a new benchmark for high-performance, ultra-low-power audio. They’re packed with premium technologies that work with in-device AI to deliver immersive, personalized audio experiences wherever you go – whether in a meeting, socializing, gaming, listening to music or simply a moment of calm.»
Qualcomm’s latest report reveals that people care a lot about audio quality. Nearly 73% of respondents want better sound quality with every new device they purchase. And 69% are looking for lossless audio quality in their next headphones.
