Not Aptx-LL for In-Ear Headphones

The descriptions accompanying the pictures show that these headphones are AptX-LL, which is the main reason I bought them. They are more commonly just APTX. I bought them at a discount, so it's not critical. They are really comfortable and don't look ridiculous on my head. I like the fact that the earcups slide instead of clicking. Stepless adjustment, although the range is rather small. They fit a little on the ears, but I like that because they isolate sound like true wireless headphones with a good seal. I'm really excited about this type of ear pads. They are insanely soft and don't put any pressure on my stretched ears and multiple piercings. The sound is rather colorless, but these are definitely bass headphones for DJs. No part of the mixture is unpleasant to the ear. They look really neutral, like my studio monitors. I personally really like that about them. I listen to everything and record from time to time, so headphones with their own sound properties or features don't really interest me. Wired audio does charge better than Bluetooth audio, but that's not a fair comparison as they're currently connected to the headphone jack on my monitor speakers through my laptop, which has a much better sound card and more power than my phone's Bluetooth setup . If Bluetooth sounds awful on future tests through my laptop I'll update this. However, I think for the most part we all know that a wired connection sounds better than Bluetooth. Just throw that away because they are APTx. My phone has the APTx codec. At the moment I'm not entirely sure if that improves their sound. They also came with a nice case (a bit too small), a charging cable and a 3.5mm cable. Everything seems to be of good quality and I really hope they last a while. I will continue to buy more from this brand despite the product descriptions not matching. For the price I can't find anything that looks as good and comfortable. This will definitely be my lounge/cafe set.
