want to make sure is that we can use high quality audio especially if you have high quality audio earphones so pull down long press on the Bluetooth icon and then go into details and you could see my earbuds are connected however if I go into the options the option to use ldac or highquality audio is not turned on so make sure you turn that on so you have the best possible audio experience if it’s supported on your earbuds and if you’re old school
