I'm debating between this item and the Kinivo BTC450. The Kinivo supports aptX technology for better Bluetooth audio. Does the HB01 support aptX?

Yes and it sounds fantastic! Just check the product images - you will see that one of the images is of the packaging, where it states "APT-X High Quality Decoding".

Yes, you can do that by using the transmitter function. Of course, you also can do lots more if using the receiver function. And both direction are aptX support for high definition music quality. But of course, your Bluetooth Headphones needs to be aptX support also to enjoy that. Hope this helps!

Belkin SongStream Bluetooth HD Music Receiver does NOT have aptX codec support. Thus, you will only receive compressed/degraded audio through A2DP's subband codec (sbc) transmission.

Yes MM450X supports AptX assuming your streaming device has the same codec capability. If not you can use the Sennheiser BTD 500 USB Bluetooth Transmitter for your PC as an example which also has AptX.

Yes, it has aptX. When connected to a PC, it is treated as a sound card, so it will only work as an audio Bluetooth transmitter. It works with my Sennheiser 550-x headphones, but it did not work with my Logitech UE 9000s (I returned them)

I have this adapter because I wanted higher fidelity and when watching TV, have the sound line up with what was happening on the screen. Normal Blue Tooth without codec, the sound lags the screen. My BT headphones , the WP-380, run BT 3.0 and work great using AptX codec

The difference is that it is Not Aptx quality sound and does not have NFC (near field communication) in addition to blue tooth pairing. It does come with an overpriced optical cable. The BR51 IS A BETTER BUY AND DEVICE THAN THE BR50. And it is ten dollars cheaper. I have the BR51 and the sound quality is excellent.

I don't think so. For apt-x receivers, you should look for receivers that are bluetooth 4.0 and/or supports NFC, but don't quite me in that

From what I can tell someone is making these generic BT receivers and then they get rebadged - there's a curvy one like the Satechi here and there are square ones e.g. peachtree, nu-force, monoprice... they are all APT-X, wall-wart, RCA + Toslink... the main difference I could see was the price and the packaging (some of the suppliers do add an extra cable or something like that...) Anyway... this is relevant because someone asked the same question of Peachtree: Q: Does BT1 support the AAC codec? I want to stream from iOS devices, which do not have aptX, and at least want the sound quality associated with support for AAC. A: We didn't license the AAC codec for the BT1. In our group testing we found that there was virtually no difference between AAC and the standard A2DP SBC codec in this specific implementation.

Sound quality on Bluetooth devices is a confusing issue. So I'll try to clarify. There are two defining factors : 1. "Audio Source Quality" and 2. "Bluetooth transmission CODEC". 1. is simple enough, but 2. isn't. A BT device has several "Codecs", that it works with. For audio stream, major ones are "aptX" "AAC" and "SBC". And "SBC" is the root cause of "inferior audio quality on Bluetooth". "Sub-band codec" is the full name, and it's a codec designed for devices with low processing power. To put simply, it sounds absolutely aweful! If your smartphone supports "aptX" and or "AAC", the sound quality will be good, good enough that average person will not notice degration. With "SBC", most music fans will notice the difference. Then it will get really confusing, if a device only supports "aptX / SBC" and not "AAC". Most Androids support "aptX / SBC", in this case, "aptX" will be used and sounds fine. iPhones on the other hand, only supports "AAC/SBC" and not "aptX". In this case, iPhone falls back to using "SBC", and works with bad quality audio. And Mediabridge seems to be this device, that "Works well with Androids" and "Kinda works with iPhones, albeit with bad quality audio". If you ask anyone about the "Sound quality on BT device", it is vitally important to know "What was used with", as you may be comparing oranges to apples, two completely different codecs housed in the same box. For marketing reasons, as long as a device works even with SBC, it is labled as "Wokrs with iPhone". You should be very careful choosing a BT device for audio, to use with iPhone. #If you weren't satisftied with the earbuds that came with an early Apple iPhones, you will definitely notice the high-pitched harmonic distortion of SBC.
