Bose adds Auracast support to QuietComfort Ultra headphones via firmware update
Bose has released a firmware update for its QuietComfort Ultra Headphones Gen 2 that adds beta support for Bluetooth LE Audio and Auracast.
First Bose device with Auracast
The QuietComfort Ultra Headphones Gen 2 are the first headphones from the company to include this audio sharing technology. This update marks a significant step as only a few major manufacturers currently offer support for the feature on select models.
Technology allows multiple connections
The new system lets a single device broadcast Bluetooth audio to many supported headphones or speakers at once. Users can apply this capability at home to watch television while keeping children asleep or for extra hearing assistance.
Adoption has been slow since 2022
Auracast was officially announced back in 2022 but the industry adoption process has proceeded slowly over time. Other brands like Sony, JBL, Samsung Galaxy Buds, and Sennheiser have also included the feature on their products.
