High Resolution Audio
Enjoy undisrupted audio playback with improved audio-and-video synchronization with the aptX Adaptive codec. When connected, the codec allows you to prioritize between a selection of dynamic bit-rate (High Quality) or dynamic latency (Low Latency) adaptation based on your needs. aptX Adaptive (High Quality) is selected by default. The selection is accessible within the Creative app.
Low Latency mode affectively brings down latency to an approximate of 50 ms*, perfect for games and movies where latency requirements are a lot more demanding.
aptX Adaptive High Quality supports exceptional audio quality even at lower bit rates. With aptX Adaptive High Quality, you can enjoy aptX HD quality scaling up to 420 kbps, great for high-resolution music.
Switch between paired devices manually, make EQ adjustments, and access Sound Blaster technologies via the Acoustic Engine module—all available in-app!
Creative BT-W5 offers high-resolution 24-bit audio at up to 96 kHz when streaming with aptX Adaptive. Along with Bluetooth® 5.3, enjoy stable, high-quality, and reliable connection for your music, movies, and games. It also automatically chooses the best available audio codec supported by your device, so you are guaranteed the best possible Bluetooth audio every single time.
