## Product: Sony WH-1000XM6 Headphones
**Brand:** Sony

LDAC is Sony's way of pushing more audio data over Bluetooth than normal codecs allow. If you care about sound quality and use Android, it's worth enabling.

**The catch: iPhone users can't use LDAC.**

Apple doesn't support the codec. This is Apple's decision, not Sony's. iPhone users are limited to AAC.

**Enable LDAC on Android:**

Go to Settings > Connected devices, find your XM6, tap the gear icon, look for HD Audio: LDAC. The exact menu depends on your phone.

**Can't find it?**

Turn on Developer Options first. Go to Settings > About phone, tap "Build number" seven times. Then go to Settings > Developer options > Bluetooth Audio Codec > LDAC.

**Also do this in the Sony app:**

Open Sound Connect, go to Sound > Bluetooth Connection Quality > Prioritize Sound Quality.

**One thing to know:**

LDAC doesn't work with multipoint enabled. Turn off "Connect to 2 devices simultaneously" in the app for LDAC.

**Is it worth it?**

If you listen to high-res music from Tidal, Amazon Music HD, or local FLAC files, yes. You'll hear the difference. If you mainly use Spotify (maxes out at 320kbps), LDAC won't make much difference.
