For all the iPhone\u2019s talents, there\u2019s still one glaring area that\u2019s plagued it since its launch, and where it\u2019s arguably inferior to certain Android devices: wireless audio quality transmission. More specifically, high-resolution, or lossless, audio.<\/p>\n

Yes, despite Apple offering select albums and tracks in up to hi-res lossless audio quality via Apple Music \u2014 at no extra charge, no less \u2014 no pair of Apple headphones actually supports the format. The AirPods Max 2, and the refreshed first-gen set of Apple\u2019s over-ear headphones, support lossless audio when connected via USB-C, but not true high resolution.<\/p>\n

For the majority of music fans it won\u2019t matter that iPhones don\u2019t support higher quality audio codecs. But considering Android devices do support them, and the fact there are genuine audible benefits to higher quality streams, why wouldn\u2019t you want to get them if the option was there?<\/p>\n

It continues to be a peculiar oversight by the tech giant, I feel, but fortunately there is a super simple workaround to unlocking the sonic benefits of high-res, all thanks to Sennheiser and a plug-in USB-C adapter. And for the low price of just AU$59.<\/p>\n

There are plenty of reasons for wanting to unlock high-res audio from your smartphone. First and foremost, there\u2019s a very good chance it\u2019s already included with your music streaming service subscription. Apple Music, Tidal, Qobuz and now even Spotify all offer higher-res versions of millions of songs. Look at it this way \u2014 you\u2019re paying for that quality, but if you\u2019re listening with an iPhone and a pair of AirPods you\u2019re missing out on a vastly superior music experience.<\/p>\n

This Sennheiser dongle fixes that, although as previously mentioned, you will need a pair of compatible headphones, and nothing from Apple itself makes the cut. While the BTD 700 can transmit high-resolution, or lossless audio from an iPhone via aptX Adaptive, the AirPods won\u2019t receive it, and will instead revert to inferior AAC or SBC…<\/p>\n
