Audio
Real-time Audio Sync with aptX® Low Latency
With traditional Bluetooth dongles, you sometimes experience instances where the original audio is not in sync with your headset. Creative BT-W2 adopts the aptX Low Latency codec to eliminate that annoying lag you can get and ensures smooth transmission.
Keep the original audio source in sync with your Bluetooth device using BT-W2.
aptX Low Latency technology is cleverly designed to overcome bandwidth constraints and latency issues so you can stream audio without any interruption or noticeable delay1. aptX also enables higher level of audio detail so you can listen to great sound quality all the time.
1 Receivers need to support aptX-LL audio codec for optimum audio performance.
Connectivity
Plug and Play Functionality
Simply plug Creative BT-W2 into your PC or Mac and instantly play audio over Bluetooth and straight through your Bluetooth-enabled device. No extra steps, no additional software installation, and no charging required. The BT-W2 draws negligible power from your device so you can focus on the important things.
