Over classic Bluetooth, the LE audio standard has advantages like hearing aids and audio sharing. Music sharing is possible with the new role of broadcast audio which features in low-energy audio format. With this, people can share their listening audio on the smartphone or other devices with other nearby people. For example, a person can share music with family and friends, and even companies or institutions could broadcast audio to the public by using this feature.
