"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. Also: Bose's QuietComfort Ultra shows the company still outperforms Apple in one key area If you currently use Bluetooth multipoint, you may notice it's sometimes unreliable, glitchy, and frustrating, especially when switching a pair"
Bluetooth 6 arrived with improvements to connection efficiency, pairing speed, latency, and overall wireless performance. The specification adds features that enable faster, smoother device discovery and pairing and enhances multipoint reliability for devices that save multiple connections. Many recent smartphones already include Bluetooth 6, but most headphones and earbuds still use Bluetooth 5.3 or 5.4. The SIG also released Bluetooth 6.2, and incremental updates within the 6.0+ family focus on connectivity, latency, and performance gains. Broader headphone adoption is expected to increase in 2026 as manufacturers update their products.
