FiiO’s new USB-C dongle will upgrade your phone’s Bluetooth.

For audiophile’s wanting both higher quality audio and the convenience of wireless headphones, FiiO’s $44 BT11 dongle adds Bluetooth 5.4 support to phones like the iPhone 16, plus codecs like aptX HD, aptX Adaptive, and aptX Lossless.

You’ll also need a subscription to a high-res music streaming service, and headphones that support those HD codecs, to actually take advantage of it.
