The "Broadcast" mode is really an interesting concept - depending on the available range. There are a lot of potential uses for this technology beyond the basic. Of course "I can share my headphones with you" is great, in the day in age of watching moves on iPads in say a plane. However I think in a business setting the broadcasts could be used for all sorts of cool bits. Remember the TV's in airports running news on…

This literally addresses none of my complaints regarding Bluetooth Audio. Latency needs to be on the order of single-digit milliseconds. LC3 can achieve around 20. One order of magnitude too high. Audio needs to not sound like it's being played underwater. And give me 100 feet of range.
The whole point of codecs is to use less of the incredibly congested 2.4G band and deliver similar performance. There are trade-offs, such as latency, in this case.
Also, range is a component of antenna and power usage, both of which could be tailored to reach 100ft. Problem is, people would prefer smaller antennas and lower power, since 100ft of range is useless to most. There's nothing stopping Bluetooth from doing that though; it's just a matter of the devices that exist today.
Not sure I can help you on the sound quality though. That sounds like a problem with the devices you've been using. AAC or LDAC both sound fine to me... and are available on pretty much any device.

Earlier quoted context omitted.
What is your use case for low latency? I understand that some want it for bluetooth headsets for videogames, where milliseconds mater - but beyond that? Also what about AptX LL? Or LLAC?
I play guitar. Timing is absolutely necessary. Anything past 15ms I can perceive and it is highly distracting and off-putting to my internal metronome.

> Mass transit (trains, buses, subway stations, airport) could broadcast announcements, the same way they do now over speakers, so those who have a hard time hearing the announcements (or just have headphones in anyways) could actually hear them. These are often transmitted over audio induction loop already.
However as an "regular person", I would like to be able to hear the audio announcements on the local train system (BART). The trains tends to be extremely loud so in-ear/ANC headphones are almost required for ear protection. ANC + Movie/Music = No idea what is going on or why.

The killer application for this technology is a bicycle bell you can use to break the trance of phone-staring pedestrians who are randomly staggering down the pavement.
really interested in latency here
BT5 does make things better if for no other reason than less re-transmits vs 4 in the same conditions.
