Ever wished you could share your favorite song, podcast, or movie sound with a friend without passing an earbud back and forth? Google just made that possible with LE Audio and Auracast, now rolling out on Android.
What Is It?
Clearer sound
Better battery life
The ability to share audio with multiple people at once
How Does It Work?
For two people: Connect two pairs of LE Audio headphones to your phone. You both hear the same thing in perfect sync.
For a group: Start a broadcast on your phone. Your friends just scan a QR code or tap to join and everyone listens together.
It’s like having a private “silent disco” wherever you go.
Why It’s Cool
Movies on the go: Watch together without bothering others.
Travel & museums: Hear announcements or guided tours right in your headphones or hearing aids.
Inclusive for everyone: Works with certain modern hearing aids too, so more people can join in.
Which Devices Support It?
Some of the first to get this feature include:
Google Pixel 8 and newer
Samsung Galaxy phones (2023 and up)
Select Sony, Xiaomi, and POCO devices
(Your headphones or earbuds also need to support LE Audio.)
The Bottom Line
With LE Audio on Android, sharing sound is now as easy as sharing a Wi-Fi password. Whether it’s with one friend or a whole group, you can enjoy music, movies, and more together, wire-free.
