I'm just wondering if there is a way to change any headphones, IEMs with LDAC from AAC or SBC to LDAC without using any Android device? The items are Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro and Soundcore Life Q35? Thank you for any help in advance

no, you cant change those, and they don't come with LDAC

They don't come with LDAC? Really?

Almost no TWS have LDAC because it requires too much power.

Meaning you can’t provide an answer. Got it. I’ll wait for someone else to chip in some actual feedback

Sorry, those are literally the first 2 Ankers that have LDAC. Didn't even know they existed. Only Android has LDAC. The only other way around this is using an LDAC transmitter via a line out: https://www.amazon.com/FiiO-Wireles...118792&sprefix=ldac+transmitte,aps,122&sr=8-3

on Android (assuming you haved a Samsung Galaxy S10 or higher (I think that's where they started including LDAC):

Settings > Connections > Bluetooth > [Device you're connecting to] > [Connect Device] > Settings > CODECS (Enable LDAC)

Done.

without using any Android device

Why if I may ask.
To the best of my knowledge LDAC is not incorporated in any other OS.
You will have a hard time finding dongles supporting LDAC
Some DAP do (probably running android?)

There is no way at all can the codec be set at the headphone level. The host device must also support the codec. If you pair the LDAC wireless headphone to a device that doesn't support it, the headphones will either default to the crappy SBC codec or refuse to connect at all.

Source is Sony NW-A55.

Sony NW-A55 (non-Android) has LDAC builtin. You may have better help with your question if you posted in the Sony NW-A50 Series thread.

Here's the A55 help guide webpage describing how to enable the preferred bluetooth connection and how to check which codec is used during playback.

Oh I get that. The issue is how to change the setting from the headphone. Seems like I can’t change it through the A55 as the cans themselves how to be on the correct setting
