At the close of 2023, Qualcomm introduced the revolutionary XPAN technology, which pioneers the transmission of wireless audio via Wi-Fi. Unlike Bluetooth, XPAN boasts an extended transmission range, supports lossless audio quality, and maintains low power consumption and latency. Headphones equipped with XPAN technology can seamlessly transition between Wi-Fi and Bluetooth modes, a capability that necessitates the Qualcomm Snapdragon S7 Pro chip and a shared Wi-Fi network connection. Qualcomm has confirmed that the initial wave of devices leveraging XPAN technology will soon be available to the public.
