High quality sound and stable wireless connections

Thanks to LDAC™, you can hear High Resolution Audio Wireless when you pair the Xperia 1 VI to a supported LDAC audio device. And thanks to AAC (Advanced Audio Coding) with the newly improved Adaptive Bitrate, by combining Sony‘s wireless headphones0, you can enjoy higher-quality sound with the bitrate increasing up to 320kbps. In situations where connectivity is likely to become unstable, such as crowds, it temporarily lowers the bitrate and prioritises the connectivity for smooth audio without interruptions, then automatically is back to Prioritize Sound Quality.
