How to change the sound quality via Bluetooth on your Xiaomi mobile

For some of us, sound quality is a factor to take into account when listening to music on our smartphone. Some devices have better quality than othersHowever, there are others who simply prefer to make their devices thinking about other features such as the screen, camera or battery. In the case of sound, our mobile limits sound quality when connecting wireless headphones on by default.

We have tested on a xiaomi 12 pro the sound and we didn’t understand why we couldn’t have Best Quality on the company’s flagship. We have tested it with Sony WH1000-XM5, so we have investigated until we find the solution. We tell you what we have done to be able to have the highest quality available.

How to change the sound quality via Bluetooth on your Xiaomi mobile

The first thing we must take into account if we want to improve the sound quality on our Xiaomi mobile, is have developer options enabled. Once we have the developer options activated, we can modify the sound quality as follows:

Access to option is from Xiaomi developer

From left to right, access developer options

  • We enter the settings of our Xiaomi device.
  • We go down to the additional settings section.
  • Within additional settings, we go down to find developer options.
  • Within the developer options, we have to go down to the network section.
  • We change the “Bluetooth audio sample rate” to the highest possible, in our case 96.0KHz.
  • We changed “Bluetooth Audio – Bits Per Sample” at the highest possible bitrate, in our case 32 bits/sample.

By changing these settings, we can see the improvement in music applications like Amazon Music. We will also notice an improvement in sound quality when listening to music. On the other hand, the consumption will be higher in our device, although it should not be differential.

If we want, we can modify other internal Bluetooth audio settings such as the audio quality of the LHDC Bluetooth audio codec or the LDAC Bluetooth audio codec to always obtain the highest quality, but it can be counterproductive, for example, when watching videos because the higher the bitrate, the higher the latency and, therefore, the audio may not be fully synchronized with the video.

Why do they limit Bluetooth audio quality by default?

Although it is true that what reigns today in the market is having lower consumption in our terminals and accessories, we can conclude that Xiaomi limits the sound quality over Bluetooth for various reasons.

The first, for get lower latency between audio and video. Normally we will not need the highest audio quality to watch a video, so having perfect synchronization prevails. Who among us has not seen a movie with badly synchronized audio and video bother us?

The second is that the higher the bitrate, the higher the consumption both from our device and from the headphones that we have connected. Therefore, if we want to have more battery at the end of the day and we do not care so much about sound quality, we can choose not to keep the function activated.

We can also change this configuration on mobiles from other brands

Although it is true that this publication focuses on Xiaomi mobiles, we can do the same procedure for phones from other brands since the developer settings are the same for the rest of the devices that have Android.

The only thing we have to do in the rest of the devices will be find and activate developer settings to be able to change the functions described above.

Choose well the audio quality that you think is convenient

We leave it to your discretion to choose the audio quality that you think is appropriate. If you are a person who listens to a lot of music, we highly recommend improve audio qualityyou will notice the difference, as long as you have a compatible music application with high quality or lossless files.

If, on the other hand, you watch more videos or you don’t care so much about audio quality, you can leave the default values ​​for spend less resources and help your mobile and headphones have more useful life at the end of the day.
