For over 75 years, Sennheiser has been synonymous with professional-grade audio, and the BTD 700 continues that tradition. The dongle acts as an external audio transmitter. Once plugged into a USB-C or USB-A port, it takes over from the device’s internal Bluetooth module to provide better audio transmission. This makes it especially useful for users whose devices lack support for advanced Bluetooth codecs, allowing them to experience higher fidelity sound.
At its core, the BTD 700 focuses on delivering high-definition wireless audio. It does this through Qualcomm’s aptX Adaptive and aptX Lossless codecs, which can transmit sound at up to 24-bit/96 kHz resolution. That’s well above what standard Bluetooth typically offers, meaning listeners can enjoy richer details and clearer sound. As Saahil Kumar, General Manager of Sennheiser’s Consumer Hearing Business in India, explained, the dongle lets users experience premium audio quality on any high-end Bluetooth headphone, regardless of the brand.
In terms of compatibility, Sennheiser has kept things simple and flexible. The dongle features a USB-C connector and comes with a USB-A adapter in the box, ensuring it works seamlessly with both modern and older devices. It’s plug-and-play, meaning no special drivers or software are needed, and it supports Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS/iPadOS platforms.
Gamers, in particular, might appreciate the Game Mode, which reduces latency to as low as 30 milliseconds. This helps keep audio perfectly aligned with gameplay visuals, a small but significant detail that can make a big difference in fast-paced action.
Another interesting feature is its support for Bluetooth 5.4 and Auracast, a newer Bluetooth capability that allows one device to broadcast audio to multiple Bluetooth receivers simultaneously. This opens up several possibilities, from sharing a playlist with friends to tuning in to public audio streams in airports or conference halls.
Weighing just 2.2 grams, the Sennheiser BTD 700 is lightweight yet packed with features. It’s available for purchase starting today across Sennheiser’s official website, Amazon India, and select premium retailers.
It’s a small device, really, but one that could make a surprisingly big difference in how people experience wireless sound—especially for those who value high-fidelity audio without the hassle of complex setups
