Your Windows PC just got a big Bluetooth audio upgrade from Microsoft - hear the difference


Designed for online games and audio calls, Microsoft's new technology aims to prevent the muffled audio you often hear over Bluetooth headsets.

In a Tuesday blog post, Microsoft unveiled details on a new Bluetooth streaming tech known as LE (Low Energy) Audio. To help you hear the difference between the older classic version of Bluetooth and the newer LE Audio, Microsoft's blog post includes a video clip of someone playing Forza Horizon 5. "In the Forza Horizon 5 example..., the game audio will now stay in stereo and stream at super wideband quality, which is a significant improvement over Bluetooth Classic."
