FAQ
What devices can the Status Pro X be paired with?
The Status Pro X earbuds can be paired with devices that use Bluetooth 5.3 connections, such as Android phones, iPhones, laptops, tablets, and gaming handhelds like the Xbox Ally X.
What are audio codecs?
Audio codecs are special software programs or hardware devices designed to compress and decompress digital audio data so file sizes can be reduced while maintaining quality while streaming or storing.
For example, the Status Pro X's main LDAC audio codec is a powerful Bluetooth codec that gives these earbuds the power to play high-resolution audio streaming (up to 990 kbps and 24-bit/96 kHz) with near-lossless quality, richer details, deeper bass, and a lower noise floor.
