A new platform architecture with 50% more memory and significantly more DSP power than its predecessor, will help take the performance earbuds, headphones, and speakers to the next-level. Optimized for use cases including music listening, gaming and enterprise, the Snapdragon S5 Gen 1 Sound Platform can offer rich and immersive sound, whilst maintaining ultra-low power performance.

This platform has been designed to delight audiophiles with amazing sound quality, at home, at work and on the go. It supports Snapdragon Sound with aptX Lossless to deliver high bit-rate audiophile music streaming at 24-bit 48kHz and offers improved DAC performance for pristine audio quality.

Powerful on-device AI maximizes audio performance and enhances the user experience for many different use cases. The data is processed locally on device for enhanced security and peace of mind, and enhanced power management helps you to get the best performance and experience from your device, without draining battery life.

This is the first time our powerful 4th Generation Qualcomm ANC is available on our S5 tier, delivering our strongest ever ANC performance. The ANC also automatically and dynamically adapts to provide strong ANC performance based on different variables include variations on fit, because everyone has different ears, or if the earbud becomes loose in the ear as you move, or if the noise suddenly changes in your environment. Adaptive transparency mode helps to let sounds from the outside world in when needed, and the ANC will automatically and seamlessly transition between these modes as needed.
