Can anyone say exactly which Bluetooth aptX profiles are supported? I mean aptX Adaptive, HD, Lossless etc., otherwise the wireless sound can't be that perfect?

The Bose QuietComfort Ultra headphones support various Bluetooth aptX profiles:
- aptX Lossless: these headphones are one of the few products that support aptX Lossless, which enables the transmission of CD-quality audio. However, this requires a compatible Android device with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 or newer processor.
- aptX Adaptive: When the headphones are connected to a Snapdragon Sound certified device, the aptX Adaptive Bluetooth codec is automatically used to ensure the best sound quality, connection stability and latency.
- LE Audio: The headphones also support LE Audio, which may be useful in public spaces and venues in the future as more LE Audio transmitters become available.
I have Bose Quiet Comfort Ultra Headphones and when connected to my phone, I can see Aptx Lossless codec. Keep in mind you have to have one of few phones supporting the codec
According to my research, it's tricky with the Bose QuietComfort Ultra. Theoretically, they also support aptX-Adaptive and aptX-Lossless. However, this ONLY if the transmitter (smartphone) is "Snapdragon Sound" certified.
