The Future of Wireless Sound

Snapdragon Sound redefining the wireless listening experience with two new audio platforms

Defining the future of wireless audio, with Snapdragon Sound and our new earbud platforms

Introducing our two new feature-packed, ultra-low power platforms – the Qualcomm S5 Sound Platform and Qualcomm S3 Sound Platform - for true wireless earbuds, speakers, and headsets.

With Snapdragon Sound technology, these platforms include a ton of exciting innovations – and are purposefully designed to help our customers stay one step ahead with the most-wanted features and new use cases in sound, including:

New Snapdragon Sound capabilities including Lossless CD-quality audio, stereo recording via earbuds and 25% lower latency* for gaming
New Qualcomm® Adaptive Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) technology for superior performance versus leading alternatives
End-to-end optimized LE Audio experiences for audio sharing and broadcasting

Strong momentum for Snapdragon Sound technology continues

Snapdragon technology is defining how sound should sound. We’re leading the future of wireless audio, delivering premium sound experiences that smartphone users deserve – and helping our customers stay one step ahead when creating their audio designs.

In the wider ecosystem, there are now 26 audio devices with Snapdragon Sound tech commercially available, and 45 customers have signed up to use this optimized chain of audio software. Recently announced devices include the Motorola edge 30 pro/Motorola edge+, Edifier NeoBuds S and Edifier STAX SPIRIT S3 and AVIOT earbuds.

Wireless audio broadcasting and sharing

Audio broadcast and sharing are new capabilities based on the LE Audio standard for Bluetooth®. These user experiences are driven by the smartphone, and our implementations with dual-mode Bluetooth radio on our new Qualcomm S5 and S3 Sound Platforms are part of a Snapdragon technology ecosystem that’s optimized across the audio chain. We went beyond the standard to make sure these features are ready for our customers’ real-world applications.
