Overview
- Microsoft’s super wideband stereo keeps game and call audio in stereo when a headset microphone is active, avoiding the abrupt quality drop users reported before.
- LE Audio operates at a 32kHz sample rate and replaces the old A2DP/HFP setup that forced mono, low‑fidelity audio whenever the mic was used.
- Spatial Audio in Microsoft Teams now works with supported Bluetooth headsets and can be enabled in the app’s audio settings on Windows.
- Using the feature requires an LE Audio‑capable headset, a Windows 11 PC with LE Audio support, the 24H2 release, and updated drivers, with some existing PCs getting drivers later this year.
- Microsoft expects most new mobile PCs launching late 2025 to ship with LE Audio support, though wireless latency characteristics remain unchanged compared with proprietary 2.4GHz gaming solutions.
