No they do not. AptX LL is not listed in the codecs (only AptX and AptX HD), and the review below corroborates that with a latency of about 224ms in SBC mode and 200ms in AptX mode. AptX LL should be around 40ms.
Why did Sony drop aptX?
Sony, why did you remove aptX and aptX-HD support? The change is likely due to the built-in QN1 chip (same chip as the XM3) being unable to do all the post-processing and support higher bitrate Bluetooth streaming simultaneously.
Can you hear the difference between aptX and SBC?
aptX is still compression; it’s just a different kind of compression. There won’t be much, if any, audible difference between aptX at 384 and SBC at 345. If one or more of your devices doesn’t run SBC at its best bit rate, but does offer aptX, then you might hear an improvement.
Does Bose support aptX LL?
Before pairing, please note that Bose products currently do NOT support aptX-Low Latency codec, hence there will be lip-sync delays when used to watch TV/Video. You may utilize an aptX-LL Bluetooth receiver to eliminate this issue.
Is LDAC better than aptX?
At CD quality, LDAC 990kbps and 660kbps are a touch better than aptX HD, yet both require even more bandwidth. When set to CD quality, 330kbps LDAC is much the same as before. It performs worse than aptX and regular Bluetooth SBC at all frequencies, yet all use similar bandwidths.
Is SBC worse than aptX?
Since aptX HD was engineered with audio quality in mind, it is able to get much closer to uncompressed sound when compared to SBC. So, in short, aptX has a better sound quality, but only when the product uses aptX HD.
