Nokia just licensed an audio technology that will enable them to deliver CD-quality stereo audio wirelessly over Bluetooth (BT) connections. BT is already used to stream stereo audio wirelessly from handsets and other audio devices to headphones and speakers, but it is bandwidth-constrained. Expect to see a range of accessories using this technology in the 4th quarter.

“We welcome Nokia to the growing family of Tier One aptX technology adopters who have recognised the exciting possibilities our Bluetooth audio solutions offer to deliver CD-quality stereo audio wirelessly,” said Anthony Murray, senior vice president of CSR’s Audio and Consumer Business Unit, in the press release.

This should get the audiophiles excited.
