Hello,
I found a device called the TX40 on Aliexpress. They are a bit like the
Creative devices that do audio but at a fraction of the price. They use
the Qualcomm AptX and A2DP AAC protocols. Works great on my phone but on
OpenBSD it requests audio input and drops down to HFP profile at a way
lower bitrate and quality.
