Timeline (last 90 days)
The Pixel Buds Pro 2 supports Bluetooth audio codecs such as AAC and LC3, of which LC3 is the core codec of Bluetooth LE Audio.
The LC3 codec can provide better sound quality and lower latency at lower bitrates, but requires the phone to support LE Audio as well.
AuraCast requires devices to support Bluetooth 5.2 or above and the LC3 audio codec, and most headphones released before 2020 cannot obtain support through a firmware upgrade.
The LE Audio standard released by the Bluetooth Special Interest Group in 2022 introduced the new LC3 codec.
