- The Auracast support is in LG OLED 2025 and some QNED TVs too
- A pupil broadcasting is ideal for hearing aids and headphones
- Auracast is also in many Samsung televisions – but all the headphones do not offer it
Some of the most important technologies are not necessarily the most catchy – so even if LG OLED 2025 televisions are impressive, for some people, the most important characteristic can be their support for Auracast. It is an optional part of the most recent Bluetooth standards which allows several devices to broadcast audio from the same TV or from other audio sources, without torque.
This is a big problem for people with compatible hearing aids, or people who wish to share the same show or the same film while wearing a pair of the best wireless headphones.
LG was quite silent on its support for Auracast, which is surprising: as the Flatpanelleshd note, the only official announcement was in collaboration with Starkey Hearing Aids, which suggests that LG considers Auracast as more than one accessibility characteristic than a grenannagement thing.
But although support for hearing aids is of course vital, Auracast also allows a shared audio experience for helmet users – and it is practical if you are in an apartment where listening hard is likely to upset the neighbors, or if you have sleepy children in the next room.
What is so great in audio audio?
Most wireless audio connections are individual, so when I connect my Samsung TV to my AirPods Max, I am the only connected listener. But Auracast is one to several, so provided that everyone (and other compatible kit such as compatible Bluetooth speakers, Auracast, hearing aids, AV receptors and sound bars) support technology, they can all listen to the same audio at the same time with minimum latency.
There is more in Auracast than television shows and films, although it is great for that. It is also potentially very useful in places such as transit centers and conference rooms, in sports bars and during speaking events.
LG is not the first television company to support Auracast – it was Samsung, which first put Auracast in some of its high -end televisions two years ago – but the technology is in several LG models, including the LG C5 and LG G5 televisions, as well as the LG B5, the LG M5 and the QNED85A, QNED89A and QNED9M. And there is a growing selection of Auracast compatible products.
One of the reasons for the relatively slow deployment of Auracast is that it is not part of the basic Bluetooth standard, manufacturers can therefore decide to support it or not.
However, a growing number of companies do so, and we hope that this will create a virtuous circle of companies manufacturing products that transmit Audio Auracast and products that receive it – we are really happy to see it becoming standard among the best televisions.
