The update means that Pixel 8 phones (and newer), and a growing list of Sony headphones, can enjoy this feature. A feature which is already available to Samsung Galaxy and Xiaomi users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video controls src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/gweb-uniblog-publish-prod\/original_videos\/ShareYourWorld_InlineConcert.mp4\"><\/video><figcaption><em>Image credits: <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.google\/products\/android\/le-audio-auracast-support\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Google<\/a><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3>How does it work?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Setting it up is simple. You can easily start a private broadcast from your Pixel and share it with others using:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>A quick QR code scan, or<\/li><li>Google\u2019s Fast Pair (which enables Android users to easily share content to other nearby Android devices)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/gweb-uniblog-publish-prod\/images\/ShareYourWorld_InlineUI.width-1000.format-webp.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"347\" height=\"347\"\/><figcaption><em>Image credits: <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.google\/products\/android\/le-audio-auracast-support\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Google<\/a><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Once connected, your friends can tune into the same audio stream, perfect for group listening sessions. Just remember that their headphones will need to support LE Audio too. That\u2019s where Google is also expanding support across various Sony headphones: LinkBud S, WF-1000XM5, InZone Buds, LinkBuds Open, LinkBuds Fit, WH-1000XM6, and InZone H9 II.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>How is it useful?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Bluetooth LE Audio gives users a better wireless listening experience, while letting you share audio to multiple devices. That makes it perfect for watching movies together on a flight, a podcast on the train, or your favourite music, no matter what streaming platform you use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It also builds on Google\u2019s earlier work with LE Audio and Auracast support for hearing aids, making audio experiences more accessible for everyone, across more Android devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>The bottom line<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With Pixel phones now supporting LE Audio and Auracast, sharing your sounds just got a lot easier. Whether you\u2019re syncing up a movie or listening to tracks with friends, this feature makes listening more inclusive.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.routenote.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Let fans listen to your music together by getting it on streaming platforms today.
