Bluetooth 5.0 has come comprehensively
Bluetooth is a wireless transmission technology that can theoretically connect short distances between devices up to 100 meters away. In practice, we usually use an effective distance of about 10 meters when using small devices.
The biggest feature of Bluetooth is that it enables mobile communication devices and computers to network and transmit data and messages without cables. It is now widely used in mobile phones, media players and various smart homes.
The new Bluetooth 5.0 is not only backward compatible with older versions, but also offers the advantage of higher speed and longer transmission distances.
Compared to the previous generation of Bluetooth 4.2, Bluetooth 5.0 has a longer transmission distance and faster speed. The theoretical effective distance is 300 meters, which means that the mobile devices in the entire family or the entire office can be stably connected.

There is also a significant increase and optimization in transmission rate and latency, making it possible to use wireless device applications that require more information and faster response.
In terms of practical use, the high transmission bandwidth of Bluetooth 5.0 also makes the bilateral call of TWS true wireless Bluetooth headset possible, and the higher bit rate audio playback is also natural.

6.Cypress
Cypress recently introduced a new Bluetooth audio product that provides a leading performance experience for wireless headsets and listening device users. Based on Wireless Audio Stereo Sync (WASS) applications and the CYW20721 Bluetooth and Low Energy Bluetooth (BLE) audio MCU, the solution provides a very stable and reliable wireless connection for wireless headsets, allowing users to enjoy a differentiated performance experience.
Compared to other TWS true wireless solutions, the Cypress WASS solution has a 6dB higher link budget, which is equivalent to doubling the effective transmission distance. Longer transmission distances and the addition of WASS applications mean greater “wearing” performance, and users can enjoy an uninterrupted headphone audio experience even when they are placed in a back pocket or on their wrists. At the same time, the chip's power consumption is 50% lower than similar products, thus doubling the playback time, or reducing the size of the battery, making it possible to design and manufacture thinner and lighter devices.
