Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. is taking a giant leap forward in the world of audio with its latest software updates for the Galaxy Buds2 Pro and Samsung Smart TVs. These updates bring LE Audio capabilities and Auracast broadcast audio technology to the forefront, transforming the audio experience across a wide range of connected devices.
LE Audio, a cutting-edge Bluetooth audio standard, enhances audio experiences by delivering complex and richer sound quality, going beyond just music. It enables users to share their audio experiences with others in a personal and immersive way. Samsung has been at the forefront of innovation in this domain, introducing features like 360 Audio Recording for Galaxy smartphones, which allows users to capture audio in videos exactly as they hear it, without the need for professional equipment. Moreover, select Galaxy Book3 devices now offer an improved listening experience with reduced latency, making them perfect for gaming and multimedia consumption.
The latest update introduces Auracast broadcast audio technology to Galaxy Buds2 Pro and select Samsung TVs, such as the 2023 Neo QLED 8K and 2023 MICRO LED. This integration extends the connected experience beyond mobile devices to home appliances. With Auracast, users can transform their devices into shared radio stations that can broadcast audio across multiple connected devices. Thanks to LE Audio, users can now connect multiple sets of Buds to a single TV, a significant improvement from the previous limit of two devices. This opens up a world of possibilities, from augmented and assistive listening in theaters and lecture halls to sharing playlists during a run with friends. It even offers multi-language support by sending different language interpretations through different channels, eliminating the need for translation devices.
Junho Park, VP and Head of Galaxy Ecosystem Product Planning Team, MX Business at Samsung Electronics, emphasized, “As an innovator across a wide range of electronic devices, from smartphones to wearables, and from TVs to home appliances, we at Samsung are in a unique position to deliver seamless and extended experiences. LE Audio is a perfect example of our commitment to connected experiences across our entire range of devices, showcasing how Samsung introduces new capabilities and technologies that bring them all together.”
The introduction of the Auracast feature exemplifies Samsung’s dedication to connecting devices and services and offering novel experiences to users. This integration promises to revolutionize how we experience audio across our devices, creating a more immersive and shared listening experience.
