Snapdragon Sound delivers crisper, clearer sound to wireless headphones and earbuds, offering studio-quality music, no-lag gaming and super clear phone calls, all without frustrating cords or cables falling out.
Snapdragon Sound is a collection of neat technologies from Qualcomm (the folks who make the chips found in most Android phones) to help your phone and wireless earbuds or headphones coordinate better, much like a Michigan State basketball squad executing plays. Think of it as a sports coach, ensuring that everyone is playing the best possible position: everything, from music to calls to podcasts to games, seems smoother and clearer.
When you find the Snapdragon Sound badge on your phone and headphones, that means you can expect a better user experience, and not only fancy features.
With regular Bluetooth streaming, your music is “shrunken” to conserve data, but Snapdragon Sound can transmit music in full quality, precisely as the artists recorded it in the studio. So the song sounds as rich as it should — the highs sparkle, the bass thumps, and nothing is left behind.
No more delays in sound when you’re walking down the hall and (I guess) you can see the enemy rounding the corner at the same time but the sound doesn’t come for what feels like 5 seconds?
Snapdragon Sound shaves that delay way down, and also keeps everything absolutely in sync. For gamers, that translates into better scores, and binge-watching that won’t freeze in the middle.
Phone and video calls sound better than they have in the past, even in places with background noise. Which means less “What was that?” moments at home or in the car, because voices are clearer — even on noisy calls.
Regular Bluetooth connections often let you down by not being able to connect while moving, roaming or downstairs. Snapdragon Sound is designed to prevent such glitches and to ensure your music or calls remain glitch-free wherever you take them.
Snapdragon Sound is also making its way into a growing list of new true wireless earbuds (like this pair of buds from Cleer Audio), and has been integrated into many new Android phones and laptops.
Makers are baking in smart features, including:
Noise cancellation that can learn about your environment
Health sensors in earbuds
3D “surround sound” that follows your head
Wireless audio is no longer about having to untangle cans from your backpack or hold up a call with your neck, but about receiving genuinely great sound no matter where life takes you.
Cleer Audio incorporates Snapdragon Sound in products such as the Cleer Audio Arc 3 and Cleer Audio Alpha, to ensure that everyone, from commuters and athletes to mobile gamers, achieves the most out of their true wireless earbuds. They build in:
Large, quality speakers mean it’s big on both power and detail (note: they’re a big punch).
Dolby Audio and multipoint Bluetooth (so you can switch between a phone and a laptop seamlessly).
Consistent sweat and water resistance, for the gym and outdoors.
Cast against Sony’s LDAC or AirPods tech from Apple, Cleer Audio has truly lossless Bluetooth, less lag and broader Android support. Sure, LDAC is awesome on Sony, and AirPods are simple on iPhones, but Snapdragon Sound is all about pure, unadulterated audio quality without any handicaps — particularly for those of us on Android.
Jamming On the Subway: Music with full detail and without dropouts.
Gaming With Friends: Fire, footsteps and voices are transmitted with high quality and zero delay, keeping reaction times at their peak.
Zoom Calls or Conference Calls: Voice will not be missed via this computer microphone which eliminates the trouble of poor voice quality within video calls such as Internet voice chat through MSN, SKYPE!
Walking, Traveling, Exercising: No wires to catch, audio remains stable, and earbuds withstand sweat and rain.
“Snapdragon Sound technology for earbuds and headphones means wireless listening no longer has to be just ‘pretty good,’ it can be ‘awesome’, making every playlist, phone call and movie night just that much more — easier, clearer and richer — exactly what busy families and everyday Americans need from their gear.”
Just keep an eye out for the Snapdragon Sound badge the next time you’re shopping audio — your ears will thank you!
