UPGRADE BLUETOOTH WITH THE PRO 2

Questyle has released the QCC Dongle Pro2 their new flagship Bluetooth transmitter that looks to improve and upgrade the Bluetooth experience

This little gizmo is designed to bring Bluetooth technology, improved, upgraded and superior technology too, to a greater variety of platforms.

For example, the iPhone is notorious for only supporting SBC and AAC codecs (AAC is passable on an iPhone…but that’s it), while PC platforms are equally notorious for inconsistent specifications that compromise performance and stability.

Console gamers are also frequently forced to avoid Bluetooth due to lack of native support for low-latency codecs.

The QCC Dongle Pro 2 bypasses native Bluetooth codec limitations through an external plug-and-play transmitter interface so you can access low-latency high resolution audio on Apple, PC, PS5, Switch, Xbox and wired Hi-Fi devices like Questyle’s own M18i Max.

Also supported are LHDC-V5 and LC3 (the replacement for SBC), aptX HD, aptX Adaptive and aptX Lossless, via Bluetooth 6.1.

Auracast can also broadcast Bluetooth audio from a single source to multiple compatible receivers.

Price is $99 (or thereabouts) via www.amazon.co.uk, www.amazon.com and questyleshop.com.
