At the Consumer Electronics Show in 2020, the Bluetooth SIG (Special Interest Group) showcased the next generation of Bluetooth audio technology, aka LE Audio. The new standard promises to improve overall audio performance over a Bluetooth connection, add support for more hearing aids and provide additional useful functions. New devices built using the forthcoming Bluetooth standard will be able to double their existing playtime. Over the long term, as battery sizes get smaller due to enhanced performance, devices may become even more compact.
