Bluetooth technology has already become one of the essentials in many of the products we use on a daily basis. This protocol has allowed us to interconnect different gadgets that make our lives easier to our phone or main device, thus achieving a fast, simple connection and, above all, with enough stability so that it does not pose a burden during the day a day.
In the event that we use this technology to connect wireless headphones to our phone, you have to know that, depending on the Bluetooth codec you use, you will be able to achieve a higher or lower playback quality. For this reason, in this post we show you how you can get the most out of this type of product to achieve the best possible sound quality by correctly adjusting these parameters.
What Bluetooth codecs exist on the market
First of all, before showing you how you can select the different Bluetooth codecs available on our Xiaomi phone, we have to start by giving a brief introduction to what these codecs are and, above all, what are the figures offered by each of them.
In this case, we leave you below a small comparative table so that you can easily visualize what these Bluetooth codecs are and what their main characteristics are:
SBC | CCA | QUALCOMM APTX | QUALCOMM APTXHD | QUALCOMM APTX ADAPTATIVE | LHDC | LDAC | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
MINIMUM BITRATE | 240kbps | - | - | - | 279kbps | - | 330kbps |
MAXIMUM BITRATE | 328kbps | 250kbps | 352kbps | 576kbps | 420kbps | 900kbps | 990kbps |
SAMPLING FREQUENCY | 44.1kHz | 44.1kHz | 44.1kHz | 48kHz | 48kHz | 96kHz | 96kHz |
As we can see, LHDC and LDAC would be the codecs that would be capable of transmitting the greatest amount of information, which means that both codecs are ideal for being able to reproduce our content with the highest possible quality. That yes, we must take into account that the Bluetooth headphones that we use must be compatible with these codecs that we have shown you to be able to select it as we are going to show you later, an information that you can find in the product's technical sheet.

How to change and select the Bluetooth codec that we want on our Xiaomi phone
Once we have clarified what these codecs are, what their characteristics are and what you will have to take into account when selecting one or the other depending on the device that we want to connect, we are going to show you how you can select the most suitable one for you from the own settings of our Xiaomi phone.
The first thing we will have to do is activate the developer options on the phone to be able to access this configuration, which you can do as follows:

- Access the settings of your Xiaomi phone
- Click on the option "About the phone"
- Once inside, repeatedly click on the "MIUI version" section until the message that they have been activated appears.
Once this step is achieved, we can continue with the Bluetooth codec settings, which you can select by doing the following:

- Access the settings of your Xiaomi phone
- Scroll down and select "Additional Settings"
- Once inside, click on "Developer options"
- Scroll down the menu until you reach the "Bluetooth Audio Codec" option and select the one that is compatible with your headset
