Audio Science Review measured a SINAD of 123 dB, so noise and distortion are inaudible and it is fully transparent.
Amazon $282.99 eBay174 ranked speakers support some form of aptX, Qualcomm’s codec family, including every speaker below regardless of which specific variant it lists. Both ends of the connection need aptX support to actually use it - most iPhones don’t have it at all, so this matters mainly if you’re pairing from an Android phone or a Qualcomm-based source.
For a specific variant, see aptX HD (higher bitrate) or aptX Adaptive (variable bitrate for stability) - no ranked speaker currently supports aptX Lossless, Qualcomm’s newest and rarest variant. See Bluetooth codecs explained for why codec choice matters far less on a speaker than on headphones, and what actually does move the needle.
