With Pixel Buds Pro, Android will launch a useful feature found in AirPods

The new Google Pixel Buds Pro will finally be available next week, which will not only come with advanced features like active noise cancellation And spatial audio (coming with an update later), but also one multipoint connectivity very similar to that of AirPods.

The new earphones from Google in fact they will allow to pass from one device to another automatically, based on what you are using (only the last two). There function was announced by the company itself with a post on his blog in which he lists the details.

Angela HsiaoProduct Manager of Google’s Multi-Device Experiences division, explains that the new technology audio switching is based on function Fast Pairwhich allows you to connect automatically Bluetooth headsets to your smartphone or tablet and save them on the Google account in order to synchronize them on all connected devices.

As we have seen, Google is expanding the function enormously, which will also be implemented on Pixel Watch and perhaps with Android 13 also with all compatible Android devices.

Angela Hsiao he goes on to explain that their technology will understand what you are about listening And will determine on which device channel audio depending on whether it is one phone call, music or other. As many of us will have experienced, the auto toggle (switchable) feature isn’t quite perfect on the AirPods, and Google gets its hands on with one notification which will allow you to to report audio on the original device.

The new feature will be activatable on supported devices in the settings “Device details“through a special switchso for those who do not want it, it can be deactivated.

But as we have seen Google wants to extend some Pixel-exclusive features to others as well devices, so if on the one hand Fast Pair it can also reach non-Pixel phones, even the new one audio switching will be available on other headsets in the future. It is currently expected to arrive “in the next few weeks” on selected devices Sony And JBLbut Google claims to be hard at work adding in future other platforms e devices (maybe even Windows?).
