"Audio needs to not sound like it's being played underwater." What kind of bluetooth have you been using? Modern codecs sound perfectly fine.

  Modern codecs are non standard vendor extensions.

    A2DP standard supports both MP3 or AAC.

      Optionally.

        Right, which pretty much any modern device and host supports. Any Android phone since 8.0 should have LDAC. Pretty much any headphones you would use with this should also have LDAC or AAC (or both).

    What do you consider a 'modern' codec? SBC is the only codec that basically can't sound good. AAC, MP3, and even ATRAC can all easily deliver 'CD Quality' sound over bluetooth, and they are all officially part of the A2DP spec. Not required codecs, but part of the spec and far from a 'non-standard vendor extension'. The only reason you need something that supports more than SBC and AAC is because of poor AAC implementations for most Android devices. AAC is very well understood, performs well, has very inexpensive FRAND licensing, and works well for every non-Android platform. And, as aptX has become incredibly common for Android, practically speaking audio sinks should only have to support AAC or aptX really. AAC for iOS/Windows/Mac/Linux and aptX for Android.

  My fancy Sony headphones sound great until I need to make a call whereupon they revert to HSP which sounds awful...
