Enjoy seamless wireless audio streaming like no other with the Creative BT-W5. Equipped with Bluetooth 5.3, aptX Adaptive codec that allows users to toggle priority for audio quality, and a convenient device-switching function, Creative BT-W5 makes your Bluetooth experience enjoyable for entertainment, work, and more!
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. The selection is accessible within the Creative app.
aptX Adaptive Low Latency mode effectively brings down latency to an approximate of 50 ms*, perfect for games and movies where latency requirements are a lot more demanding.
*Latency measurements are obtained from Qualcomm’s aptX Adaptive documents.
aptX Adaptive High Quality mode 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.
