Google told that Sony is providing a notable support for its LDAC wireless audio encoding format which sends data three times more through Bluetooth when compared with other formats. That is, it can transfer up to a bitrate of 990kpbs.

This, in turn, lets you listen to good quality audio without using typical wired headphones. You can check those comparisons in detail by visiting Sony's page.

Till date, Sony is the only one that uses LDAC technology inside their products such as Walkman players, its high-end wireless headphones, active speakers, home theaters and Xperia smartphones. If other companies are willing to have this technology in their products as well, then they have to pay for licensing fees.

Now, this innovative technology is going to be the part of open source Android O release, so users don't have to pay for it. Thus, letting audiophiles enjoy high-resolution audios without having to plug into a headphone jack.
