LE Audio SDK on nRF5340

[Sylvio]

Last post regarding LE Audio was from 7 months ago and SDK for LE Audio wasn't available.

1) Is the SDK for LE Audio ready and available?

2) Is there any smartphone (Android/iOS) that can stream audio over LE Audio BLE 5.2 already? Or this is ongoing stuff from vendors and SIG?

Thanks.

Hello Owain,

I have regularly been looking for BLE audio products endpoints for the last few years. I still really only find silicon vendors and articles hyping the "new" standard.

Even in hearing aid area where BLE Audio is meant to be a real benefit I don't see much.

Yes, it takes some time for a newly ratified standard to make it into the mainstream and succeed the existing standard. This process starts with the silicon vendors making it available in their devices and their customers familiarizing with it before finally incorporating it into their devices making it available for end-users.

Are there any true BLE audio earbuds out there?

Is 2022 going to be the year we see real products?

I can not really speculate in this since Nordic does not actually develop/sell any earbuds or other end-user products - the forum here is primarily for technical advise regarding the development with our devices.
If you would like to ask questions about the state of the market etc. I recommend that you reach out to your Regional Sales Manager with these questions directly. If you do not know who your Reginal Sales Manager is, please send me a direct message with your location so that I can provide you with their contact information.

Best regards,
Karl
