Great BT quality - with headphones that support aptX, the wireless stream quality is just as good as with the BlackBerry Q10 streaming music via aptX (and the BB has got a really good BT chip and wireless sound quality).
I would also mainly recommend to use the AP60 with Bluetooth headphones or as a digital source (as soon as the DAC gets enabled through a firmware update), as the sound quality out of the headphone port is not that great (moderate roll-off towards the sub-bass, not so quiet noise floor with really sensitive IEMs regarding the low power output, something odd about the treble). Yeah, I think the AP60 would work best as a pure transport device but not so well for standalone use (headphones directly connected to its output) as the SQ over the headphone output is only average at best imho.
Anyway, here are some pro and contra impressions I sent to another user who asked me via PM:
what if the headphones dont have aptx?
I have now updates custom roms on two old phones and installed viper on them. One the BT stutters at arm length, the other is too slow. Two android phones left, one main and the current backup so cant use them.
the battery is 6 hours?
