Audio

The delay is assembled out of three links: encoding, time on air, and the buffer inside the headphones themselves. The Bluetooth profile names those links but sets no end-to-end figure at all — the manufacturer writes that in, and LE Audio is the first to put the components into a table.

Meta announced its first glasses without a camera at Connect on September 23, 2026. The new Ray-Ban Meta Audio weighs 43 grams and runs up to 12 hours on a charge, while the rest of the lineup gets slimmer frames, longer battery, and a personal AI agent called Muse.

A new study shows that machine learning models trained to detect tuberculosis from cough sounds work moderately well on the data they were trained on but collapse when applied to recordings from other sources. The problem is not the disease signal — it is the microphone, the room, and the way each dataset was collected.

Neural audio codecs turn sound into discrete tokens using a method called Residual Vector Quantization. A new paper shows that the hierarchy of RVQ layers can be used directly to reconstruct higher-quality audio from coarse tokens, improving on both token prediction and regression approaches.

Samsung and Google built a 3D audio format called Eclipsa Audio and put it on Samsung TV Plus. If you own a 2025 Samsung TV or soundbar, musicals and live concerts on that service now carry height, width and depth information that stereo cannot convey.
