Compared to bluetooth :

  • 60% lower power consumption
  • Six times higher data transmission speed
  • 1/30th the latency
  • 7 dB improvement anti-interference for a more stable connection
  • Twice the coverage distance, and
  • 10 times more network connections

Notice it’s not talking of compression yet, but raw connection performance.

Due to the US Huawei ban, the tech won’t arrive to the US yet. Nor maybe ever until something is done.

    As long as it doesn’t use the 2.4GHz band I’m fine with it. I’m so done with Audio stuttering while using WiFi.

        I am sory for not living in a giant home without any 2.4ghz neighbors around me.

        Also I myself use 2.4ghz for low bandwidth devices, and other connected devices which don’t have 5ghz. And there are also the neighbors who cast their 2.4ghz network they may use how they will around me.

        But I didn’t have many issues on most of the headsets I tried. At least higher end.

        There were still some outliers and with bad unreliable connections, even on high latency (jbl tour one m2 for example).

        Others like corsair headsets had issues at “high” range (like 10-15m through walls), but no issues at close range, but that is expected from their specs.

        Most IoT devices still need it, and it’s actually recommended for those for its better wall/floor penetrating ability, since a light bulb isn’t going to need tons of bandwidth.

        Pretty much all routers ISP give are 2.4 included so whether you want it or not you are surrounded by emissions at that frequency.

          Mine from the ISP does wifi 6 over 5GHz… I still disabled the wifi in favour of a Unifi multi-AP config.

            Even if you have skills and knowledge, people around you might not or simply don’t care. I’d hazard a guess 2.4GHz spectrum is filled.
