Beoplay H100 quietly loses promised LDAC and multipoint updates, leaving only AAC and SBC for now
A recent change spotted by users suggests a shift in plans for the Bang & Olufsen Beoplay H100. The company no longer claims it will add LDAC or other high-resolution Bluetooth audio codecs via a future software update. With no Qualcomm aptX Adaptive support either—something the older Beoplay H95 offered—the H100 currently relies on just AAC and SBC Bluetooth codecs.
This update raises questions about whether LDAC support will arrive at all. As of now, there’s no clear timeline, and the official messaging no longer points to a forthcoming high‑res Bluetooth upgrade.
Another quiet change appears on the product sheet: the previous promise to add 3‑device multipoint connectivity via a software update this year has been removed. While not an outright cancellation, the omission suggests the feature may be delayed or reconsidered.
What this means for listeners:
– If you were waiting for high‑resolution Bluetooth playback on the Beoplay H100, the current stance indicates AAC and SBC are the only available codecs.
– Fans of the brand who expected parity with the Beoplay H95’s codec lineup may be disappointed by the lack of aptX Adaptive and the uncertainty around LDAC.
– Those who planned on 3‑device multipoint may want to watch for any official confirmation before purchasing.
Key takeaway: As it stands, the Beoplay H100 focuses on AAC and SBC with no confirmed path to LDAC or 3‑device multipoint this year. Prospective buyers should consider the feature set as currently advertised and keep an eye on official updates in case plans change again.
