Let Virscient’s IP unlock your audio product development program

Accelerated audio product development

As a Qualcomm partner, Virscient helps product teams make Qualcomm chips work in complete wireless products. We support protocol and component selection, driver porting, PCB and RF design, embedded application software, system validation, and regulatory certification with Qualcomm connectivity platforms.

Virscient helps our customers unlock the full potential of Qualcomm® audio and connectivity platforms in order to build high-quality wireless earbuds, headphones and speakers that work brilliantly.

With our deep experience with Qualcomm’s technology and documentation, and our pre-built platforms for audio product development we are able to turn reference designs into market-ready products efficiently.

We help innovative audio brands integrate Qualcomm solutions

Qualcomm is a world leader in wireless innovation and processing performance. Its S3, S5 and S7 Bluetooth Audio chips have been widely used in high-quality wireless audio devices for many years. In addition, Qualcomm’s Snapdragon™ SoC and platforms power smartphones, wearables, automotive, and industrial systems — combining compute, graphics, and connectivity in a single architecture.

By partnering with Qualcomm, you’ll gain access to proven silicon, global interoperability, and advanced features like LE Audio, aptX™ Adaptive, Wi-Fi 7, 5G, and AI-enhanced DSP. The result is faster development, greater reliability, and seamless experiences for end users — across everything from headsets to connected vehicles.

Virscient is an approved Qualcomm partner, and a member of the Qualcomm Voice and Music extension program.
