"Despite the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) releasing the Bluetooth 6.2 core specification in Nov., you'll find that many headphones released as recently as this year still feature Bluetooth 5.3 or 5.4. Not every specification brings mind-blowing features, but there are connectivity, latency, and performance improvements to look forward to within the 6.0+ specifications. This year, several smartphones but fewer headphones debuted with Bluetooth 6."
"Bluetooth 6 introduces improvements to how Bluetooth-enabled devices find and pair with one another, creating faster and smoother device pairing. Hopefully, this improvement will be most noticeable to people who like Bluetooth multipoint, a feature that allows one Bluetooth device to save multiple connections and switch between them. If you currently use Bluetooth multipoint, you may notice it's sometimes unreliable, glitchy, and frustrating, especially when switching a pair"
The Bluetooth Special Interest Group released Bluetooth 6.0 in September 2024 and followed with a 6.2 core specification in November. Bluetooth versions determine audio compression, transmission, latency, and connection stability for wireless headphones and earbuds. Many recent headphones still use Bluetooth 5.3 or 5.4 despite the newer specs. Bluetooth 6 improves how devices find and pair, promising faster, smoother connections and better multipoint handling. Several smartphones adopted Bluetooth 6 this year, while far fewer headphones did. More Bluetooth 6 products are expected in 2026, bringing connectivity and performance gains.
