Qualcomm's Latest Chipsets Aim to Bring Noise Cancelation to All Wireless Earbuds

Qualcomm has today released a couple of new Bluetooth chipsets for wireless earbuds. Called the QC514x and the QC304x, these chipsets are aimed at premium, and budget wireless earphones respectively, and aim to bring some highly desirable features to every wireless earphone in the market.

Both the QC514x and QC304x support Qualcomm'due south 'TrueWireless Mirroring Technology' making it easier for the user to use both the earbuds as a stereo pair, or use a single earbud if they so desire. The technology pairs one earbud to the phone, and mirrors that connexion over to the second earbud in order to make them both piece of work in tandem. Moreover, TrueWireless mirroring is intelligent enough that if you lot remove one of the earbuds, information technology can seamlessly switch over to the second earbud and continue playing media through it. That'southward great, and information technology'due south a feature that'due south mostly missing from budget truly wireless earbuds.

Qualcomm is also bringing support for active racket cancelation on both the chipsets, which ways manufacturers can build-in that feature on entry-level wireless earphones equally well. Both the chipsets also come with Qualcomm's leak-through technology, which is pretty much what the transparency mode does on the AirPods Pro, and other like implementations that you'd notice on headphones like the Sony WH-1000XM3.

The company also said that both the chipsets back up smart assistants with the only departure existence the fact that the QC514x has support for e'er-on wake-give-and-take implementation, while the QC304x will support assistants via a button. It's still squeamish to have though.
