In the past few years, many flagship phones have cancelled the 3.5 phone hole, like the Huawei Honor Note10 phone in my hand. This made me who liked wired headphones to listen to music suddenly unable to adapt, and I had to consider adding another Bluetooth headphone.

Fortunately, Bluetooth technology is no longer the same as before. Since it was upgraded to version 5.0, Bluetooth sound quality has become very excellent.
But has the 3.5 wired headphone I bought with money lost its effect?
When I was struggling with whether to buy Bluetooth headphones, I found an interesting gameplay that can transform wired headphones.
is very simple. Plug the wired headphones into of the 5.0 Bluetooth adapter, and it instantly turns into a Bluetooth headphone.

Surprisingly, the modified Bluetooth headsets in this way are almost no different from directly inserting into a mobile phone in terms of sound quality, and are even better than the Bluetooth headsets that cost hundreds of dollars on the market.
In addition to sound quality, the low latency mode it has is not available to other Bluetooth headsets.
5.0 Bluetooth adapter Appearance
This Bluetooth adapter is square, with a length and width of 4.5 cm, and its weight is negligible, which is more than enough to fit into the pocket.
function keys are distributed on both sides of the adapter, and the single loop key and the receive and transmit mode key on the left are respectively.
TX is the transmit mode and RX is the receive mode. For example, to modify the wired headset, you must adjust to the RX receive mode.

Bluetooth performance
This Bluetooth adapter is equipped with Qualcomm's CSR8675 chip, which supports SBC, AAC, aptx, aptx HD (high quality), aptx LL (low latency) audio encoding .
is well known to 5.0 Bluetooth. Aptx HD is currently the best audio encoding with Qualcomm sound quality. Its decoding method brings Bluetooth sound quality to an unprecedented level, achieving high-definition, high-quality and high-fidelity music experience with Bluetooth.
and aptx LL are currently the Bluetooth audio encoding with the lowest latency, which is less than 40 milliseconds, which is much lower than the 70 millisecond delay that the human eye can capture. It is not an exaggeration to say that there is no delay.
Due to authorization and other reasons, the phone is not equipped with aptx LL low-latency audio encoding. However, the phone also has an aptX, with an average delay of about 70 milliseconds, which just reached the passing line, so it is enough to play "Peace Elite".
Usage experience
In addition to listening to music in daily life, I also like to play computer games such as "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds", "CS go", and "Cross Fire". The gunfighting FPS games like this have very high requirements for delay. In the past, Bluetooth headsets were always disliked by gamers because the sound could not keep up with the picture.
Crossfire
This time, the problem of delay is completely solved.
First plug in another 5.0 Bluetooth transmitter on the computer host. After a few seconds, the pairing is successful. Press and hold the loop key to switch to aptx LL audio encoding.

During the "Cross Fire" game, you can really experience the effect of audio and video synchronization. The characters' footsteps are crisp, and the gunshots are highly consistent with the muzzle sparks, so it is no problem to listen to the sound and distinguish the position.
In terms of battery life, the battery level can be used for 12 consecutive hours, and it only takes two hours to fully charge. Sometimes it's almost out of power, and it can be used for a few hours if it charges for ten minutes.
In terms of wearing experience, this kind of semi-in-ear headphones is really comfortable to play games. After all, it does not have the pressure like a headset, it is light in weight, and will not sweat in hot summers.
And it can reach ten meters at a distance, freeing from the constraints of space. When playing games, put the adapter in your pocket and you can move freely in the room without any interference.
can also be used with switch gaming console to enjoy a high-quality and low-latency gaming experience.
