    I'm currently using my Sennheiser Momentum 2.0 Wireless on my Gigabyte P35X V3, that has the Intel 7260 AC, but I don't know how to check if I'm using APT-X or not, is there way to check for that ?

    THANKS !!!

    apt-x does not really make a big difference in term of listening. you can use Wireshark ( https://wiki.wireshark.org/Bluetooth) to sniff to check if apt-x is enable but it is not very user friendly.

    apt-x makes a big difference. Bluetooth is a degraded connection just the same if you value audio quality. Wireless headphones are not high quality yet. They are adequate.
