JayBird products offer apt-X,
CD quality audio over Bluetooth

APTX focuses on two very simple principles:

1. Acoustical integrity
2. Low latency

apt-X has been associated with professional audio applications for 20 years, with over 20,000 radio and TV stations worldwide, broadcasting content with the help of apt-X.

Integrating apt-X into Bluetooth headphones delivers pristine CD quality audio and a more fulfilling user experience. It does this by more efficient compression and decompression than standard SBC Bluetooth. It needs less bandwidth and avoids the typical packet loss which causes white noise and loss of audio quality. More on apt-X

apt-X Bluetooth Stereo Headphones

So what should I purchase?

I don't have stereo Bluetooth (often called A2DP) on my music device

Use a JayBird Bluetooth adapter. iSport for iPod, and uSport for everything else with a 3.5mm headphone jack. Not only will you get
bass-rich Bluetooth music, but you'll also step up to apt-X CD quality audio. Sportsband will switch to apt-X mode automatically.




So what should I purchase?

My music device has stereo Bluetooth, but it doesn't have apt-X

Great, the Sportsband Bluetooth headphones will produce a bass-rich Bluetooth music experience with your music device using your standard Bluetooth connection. You can purchase the Sportsband alone for that, or you can upgrade your music device's Bluetooth signal to apt-X CD quality with one of the two apt-X enabling adapters. iSport for iPhone/iPad/iPod, or uSport for anything else with a 3.5mm headphone jack. Sportsband will switch to apt-X mode automatically.

So what should I purchase?

Which music devices come with apt-X?

Apple's new Mac Mini is the first to carry apt-X and therefore, does not require a JayBird Bluetooth adapter to play in apt-X quality to the Sportsband Bluetooth headphones. apt-X is built right into both devices so Sportsband will switch to apt-X mode automatically. More phones and other devices to carry apt-X in the coming months.

So now you know

Now you know all about Bluetooth and apt-X.
