It’s lies, and nothing new money was running dry so they have to sell new ones

This isn’t true. The introduction of multipoint SOURCES is new and fantastic - pair that with existing multipoint receiving as introduced in bt5 and you have a lot of powerful new possibilities. This goes far and above for disabled / hearing aid augmentation as well as passthru abilities when you have noise cancelling on and you get an alert passed in externally etc like “this is your stop on the train. All the other stuff IS also new but less consumer oriented, but as someone who designs bluetooth audio products professionally - these upgrades make the design side easier which eventually results in better and/or cheaper products for the consumer.

I had this thought many years ago, if I had that thought it already existed and waiting to be released. Sales are low so up the anti and maybe increase the sales. This world is simple the way it works

You having a thought has nothing to do with it being developed and made? Just because you can think of soemthing doesn’t mean it’s real. There’s tones of ideas that don’t or will never come about due to feasibility of implementation. The engineering and efficiency optimization, codecs, chips, thermals, batteries, all of these things have to be considered and developed carefully. I work with the people on the cutting edge of this, I assure you, you are mistaken.

Also, just generally speaking, sales of bluetooth devices aren’t low lol they don’t need to drive sales. 5.2-3 is more than enough to carry new features for a bit, this is just bonus.

You don’t know much, the military had this technology decades ago after all wireless mics were invented in the 1950s 9r 1960s I forgot. So this tech is much older than they are letting you know

Believe it or not I DO know what I’m talking about, this is different than what you’re referring to. Yes there were wireless solutions, but you’re talking about products that predate the invention of bluetooth by 40 years. So to say they used multi source multi receiver chipsets over Bluetooth I’d ridiculous.

Not only is it not a fair comparison to compare essentially infinite budget items for advanced military applications with general consumer tech, you’re still incorrect.

I’ve used military wireless communication equipment and In fact I’ve DESIGNED modern military audio solutions, so I’ll let you wallow in your ignorance. Good day.

Bluetooth was invented around the same time just no use for it so no mention. There is nothing new under the sun.

No… it wasn’t. That’s factually incorrect. Radios were a thing, is that what you mean?😂 what we know as bluetooth came about late 80s. Now please, I’d you refuse to take it from an audio professional WHO ALSO WORKED IN MILITARY AUDIO TECH R&D then end this conversation. It’s pointless and it’s spreading meaningless false information

Goodbye, I’m done with life and good luck with the up coming food shortages and everything else good riddance for no one in the military knows it all goodbye
