Bose Adds Auracast Support to QuietComfort Ultra Headphones Gen 2
Bose has introduced support for Bluetooth LE Audio and Auracast in its flagship QuietComfort Ultra Headphones Gen 2 through a firmware update. This marks the first time Bose headphones include this audio-sharing technology, which allows devices like TVs or public speakers to broadcast sound directly to compatible earbuds or headphones without requiring pairing. Auracast has been slowly adopted since its introduction in 2022 by companies such as Sony, JBL, Samsung, and Sennheiser. Bose's inclusion of the feature is seen as a significant move due to the brand’s strong presence in the audio market. The update also enhances wired USB audio performance for gaming and conferencing. The firmware version 10.12.12 has been rolling out quietly over recent weeks, with more devices expected to receive Auracast support soon.
