&lt;p&gt;The issue with using nRF52832 is that it has too little RAM and does not have enough processing power to encode/decode the audio streams. So that makes it unfit for LE Audio.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Also,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
[quote user=""]will the latest earbuds pair ordo I can to only use an older type?[/quote]
&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;Old&amp;quot; earbuds means they are using Bluetooth Classic, which is not suitable for LE Audio.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But &amp;quot;new&amp;quot; earbuds, if they support Bluetooth LE, then yes, they can support LE Audio, but if they don&amp;#39;t then they are also unsuitable for LE Audio.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I would suggest you to contact our &lt;a href="https://www.nordicsemi.com/About-us/Contact-Us#:~:text=Sales%20related%20questions"&gt;Sales Team&lt;/a&gt; for the same as they might have more insights on products suitable for your use case.&lt;/p&gt;

I don&amp;#39;t need any complex audio. It&amp;#39;s just audio feedback. I would like to test &amp;amp; allow my cutomer to decide if the latency is acceptable. Please can you answer my question regarding new &amp;amp; old earbuds pairing with the&amp;nbsp;&lt;span&gt;nRF52832&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Can I earbuds or headphones to nRF52832</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/524745?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Wed, 26 Feb 2025 08:25:23 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:b2ca73ca-4844-4cbe-92d0-353000051b39</guid><dc:creator>Priyanka</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi John,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Since you wish to pair earbuds, I assume you need a continuous real-time streaming ?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Then it might be difficult to achieve this with the nRF52832 owing to the latency issues and I would recommend you to look into the nRF5340.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Regards,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Priyanka&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
