aptX is a special method to handle audio over Bluetooth
that enables higher quality audio than available on
standard Bluetooth connections. aptX allows a lossless
audio transfer from a device to a speaker that is enabled
with aptX.

To use aptX your source device must have aptX; then you simply pair the
devices as you do with any Bluetooth devices and the two devices will
automatically determine that they both have aptX and if so will transfer audio
via the aptX codec. It is important to note that aptX needs to be supported
on both sides of the Bluetooth connection. To determine if a Bluetooth­enabled device supports aptX, just look for the aptX logo on the product or its
packaging, or you may fi nd it listed under the device’s Bluetooth settings.
