The connectivity type of the headphones.
Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that allows data transfers between devices placed in close proximity, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves. Newer versions provide faster data transfers.
aptx Adaptive is an audio codec for Bluetooth devices that is developed by Qualcomm. It has a variable bit rate (between 279kbps and 420kbps), which means it can adjust the bit rate for different scenarios, such as listening to HD audio or reducing interference from other devices.
aptX is a codec used for transmitting audio wirelessly with Bluetooth. It is developed by Qualcomm, and supports 16-bit audio at a bit rate of 384kbps.
LDAC is a codec developed by Sony for Bluetooth audio. It is capable of a very high bitrate of 990kbps, which provides high resolution audio. It can also automatically adjust to a lower bitrate of 330kbps or 660kbps to increase stability.
aptX Low Latency is a codec developed by Qualcomm. It uses Bluetooth 5.0 technology to provide low latency audio (around 40ms), which is useful when you want to avoid audio lag (e.g. when playing games).
aptX HD is an audio codec for Bluetooth devices that is developed by Qualcomm. It supports high quality 24-bit audio (at a bit rate of 576kbps).
AAC is a codec that is used for Bluetooth audio. It supports 24-bit audio at 250kbps. Because it uses psychoacoustic modeling, it can provide better results than other codecs at a similar bit rate.
The device can connect at a greater distance via Bluetooth or infrared to another device.

Great sound AND feel. I upgraded from the Sony H.ear On 2. These are far superior but the materials do not feel as premium. The Sony H.EarOn2 had full metal components and a slick hard plastic shell. Whereas the Wh1000XM3 is a much more light weight feel, which makes it much more comfortable, but at the same time, it feels fragile. I have not had any issues with anything for over a year now. The Sound quality is impeccable. The bass is deep and clear, and there is no distortion on the Highs. It has a wide range of frequency and plays music super well. From rap to Lofi and rock and roll. Microphones are great in this for phone calls and can even be used in the office for meetings! I personally use them in the gym for everything except when they fall off if you end up on your back or at an angle. The noise cancelling is impeccable and is only rivaled by the Apple AirPods Pro, or AirPods Max. I find that these headphones are just as good as the Bose, and the XM4.
