   @Jessica if I'm using my headphones to listen to music at my computer I plug them in tbh
   no need to worry about codecs when there's the strength and certainty of ~~steel~~ a 3.5mm cable

     @izaya@social.shadowkat.net when I'm on the PC I use a USB APTxLL adapter, although I don't know if I'd rec that over OS BT unless you're having OS issues with bluetooth or are playing a game where you need low latency, for youtube watching the latency doesn't matter because usually the latency is adjusted in the browser to counteract the latency

     @izaya@social.shadowkat.net and I did some tests, and normal SBC-XQ doesn't sound any different from SBC when it came to background noise, AAC may be better for background noise
     but maybe the SBC-XQ was a lie and it just used normal SBC as a fallback

     @Jessica AIUI SBC-XQ isn't actually a thing it's just sending more SBC data than the standard specifies, and the exact adaptor shouldn't matter
     I'm using a knockoff CSR bluetooth USB adaptor

     @izaya@social.shadowkat.net It's still early days for the standard so I'd assume some fuckery until it gets ironed out.

     @izaya@social.shadowkat.net actually it's more likely a bluetooth chip thing, I'm using a realtek USB bluetooth

     @Jessica it's one of the options in pavucontrol, so it's probably exposed in pacmd/pactl if your frontend doesn't have it

     @izaya@social.shadowkat.net how do I change the bitrate on linux if you don't mind me asking :neocat_googly:

     @Jessica yeah you can usually just crank the bitrate right up
     512kbps SBC-XQ isn't bad at all

     I just learned that Linux has a bluetooth encoder that's fairly new and is potentially better than APTxHD while also being FOSS.
     it's called SBC-XQ
     turns out most headphones with SBC can attempt to recieve an SBC-XQ signal as long as both the headphones and the computer support a higher standard. It's also in lineageOS
     https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SBC_(codec)#Higher_quality_variants
     my headphones support SBC-XQ perfectly.
