AAC support added in 9/4/19 firmware update (1.4).
None of the answers are accurate. In their spec they don't mention any of the audio "codec" they support. AptX or LDAC are all depending on A2DP, which is one of the Bluetooth profiles. I guess Jabra chose not to disclose it on purpose so we just have to wait for some real world usage.
From Jabra's own Techsheet, these headphones support the following Bluetooth profiles: HSP v1.2 , HFP v1.7, A2DP v1.3, AVRCP v1.6, PBAP v1.1, SPP v1.2 Sadly, no aptX, AAC or any high fidelity audio codecs are supported. What a shame since I was looking forward to these headphones as a worthy competitor to Sony's flagship ANC ones.
SBC only, but frankly, they sound as good wireless as they do wired. Whether AptX/LDAC actually sounds better, except on paper, is hotly debated.
