Bluetooth Special Interest Group released Bluetooth 6.0 in September 2024, introducing features that enable universal device tracking, lower latency, and more efficient wireless connections. Several smartphones launched with Bluetooth 6 during the year, while many headphones and earbuds continue to ship with Bluetooth 5.3 or 5.4. Bluetooth 6 improves device discovery and pairing speed, aiming to make multipoint connections more reliable and smoother. Wider adoption of Bluetooth 6 products is expected in 2026, which should deliver better audio transmission, reduced latency, and more stable multipoint switching for wireless listening devices.
