The Rock Puppy Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 I've noticed several companies are currently advertising "True Wireless" products. Really? Does this mean that their previous products were fake wireless, or perhaps partially wireless? What nuance am I missing here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Marc Posted April 24, 2022 Administrator Share Posted April 24, 2022 Are you referring to headphones, or something else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they mean that not only is there no wire between the headphones and the source (say your phone) but also there is no wire connecting the headphones to each other. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Rock Puppy Posted April 25, 2022 Author Share Posted April 25, 2022 @Marc, I was really referring to headphones/iems, but was trying to avoid naming any brands to avoid any potential unpleasantness. @sir sanders zingmore, thank you for your explanation. Sorry for the tardiness of my reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussievintage Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 True Wireless is a thing, maybe a protocol, for handling 2 separate bluetooth devices with no interconnecting wires working in stereo mode. That's why it is capitalised. It doesn't mean the opposite of fake wireless. I think it includes how to handle when you take one out of the case, and it pairs in mono, before you take the second one out, then it pairs and they decide they are stereo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With wireless claims around audio quality check the small print. Its a perverse marketing world where "hi-res" and "Master Quality" mean lossy.
