Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) has formally published Bluetooth 7.0 Core and adopted an optional feature called Bluetooth High Data Throughput (HDT). The update targets faster data transfer for Bluetooth Low Energy (LE) devices such as wireless headphones and speakers.
Across the outlets, HDT is presented as a meaningful speed boost that can support higher-quality audio. The Verge highlights that Bluetooth LE’s maximum supported bit rate increases from 2 Mbps to 7.5 Mbps. TechRadar similarly points to Bluetooth 7.0 Core being published and describes HDT as optional for Bluetooth LE devices.
AppleInsider adds that HDT is not only a software change: it requires manufacturers to implement it in hardware, which could affect whether users can take advantage of the improvements. It also frames future device implications, including the possibility of better audio for upcoming headphones.
