Qualcomm released a new SoC for the QCC30xx series of platforms, the Qualcomm QCC305x SoCs for wireless audio use cases. Its purpose is to support the forthcoming Bluetooth low Energy Audio standard.

Per the company, it offers robust connectivity, low-power optimization, and feature integration compared to previous offerings.

The audio technologies provided allow for audio sharing, meaning one smartphone can share to a range of wireless listeners at the same time.

Further, users will also have the ability to use voice service support with always-on wake word activation or button press activation for hands-free earbud control. 

 Other features per a company press release include:

• Qualcomm® Adaptive Active Noise Cancellation for superior sound quality while mitigating for differences in fit and activity of the user
• Qualcomm® aptX™ Adaptive at up to 96Khz audio resolution, for high quality listening and low latency streaming while watching videos or gaming
