I'm using a MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013)
OS: MacOS 10.12.6 Sierra
My bluetooth headphone supports AAC codec. Does my MBP?
I used Bluetooth explorer to make sure AAC is active. I tested with Aptx disabled as well.
If Aptx is disabled I get SBC, not AAC.
I can't find that info on the web. It would be shame if MBP supports Aptx and not AAC.
MacBook Pro with Retina display, High Sierra
I have the exact same Macbook Pro and was in the same situation. Unfortunately only newer models of MacBook pros support AAC over bluetooth. I can't find the article which listed which Macs are compatible with AAC BT. But I do know your mac, and mine, are not supported unfortunately.
I have resorted to using my iPhone 7 for bluetooth music - which supports AAC BT as does my headphones (B and W PX). The sound is great. When on my laptop I use wired headphones or an external AptX-HD module plugged into my headphone out port.
Thanks for responding.
Reading through the forums, it seems like older macs with Yosemite etc can enable AAC. I'm confused.
Apple's lack of detailed documentation is frustration. They treat everyone like a 75 yo grandma.
Does my Macbook Pro support AAC codec for Bluetooth?
