Great article but it doesn't speak to the tower of babel - no one supports all the protocols, usually just the lowest and one they prefer. Consequently, your great headphones can only share the most basic protocol with your great streamer, or your phone. Your streamer supports aptx hd? Great, try to find headphones or ear buds that support aptx hd, then oops, Apple doesn't so your laptop, iPad, and iphone degrade to the lowest level connection. Etc, etc, etc.. I gave up and decided on wire and basic buds.
