CONTROLS
VOICE CALLS
aptX LL, aptX HD, aptX, and SBC are all operating on A2DP Bluetooth profile and do not support voiceback. You’ll need to switch to HFP mode or use the bundled analog microphone for voice calls
HFP MODE:
In HFP mode, the Creative BT-W3 allows you to use your wireless headset for voice chat, but high-quality audio streaming capabilities of A2D P Bluetooth codecs (i.e. aptX LL, aptX HD, aptX, and SBC) will not be available.
ANALOG MICROPHONE:
Alternatively, using the analog microphone will allow you to stream your voice chat while using high-quality audio with A2DP codecs at the same time. However, due to it being a near-field microphone, it is not suitable for use with laptops and computers due to the position of the 3.5 mm audio jack, and the likelihood of it picking up your keyboard sounds.
SETTING UP THE ANALOG MICROPHONE
FOR PS4:
- Connect Creative BT-W3 to an available USB port
