This wireless technology can fix the most annoying thing about using wireless ear headphones at home

Your phone is usually attached to the hip (in terms of iron iPhone 17 Cross beltI mean that literally). But at the comfort of your home when you try to relax and escape from your phone with your favorite music, you need to stay in your Bluetooth range Headphones and Wireless headphones It can be somewhat annoying. Qualcomm sound engineers try to solve this problem by smoothly switching to Wi-Fi if you are traveling away from your sound source. Certainly, this looks elegant, but technology means future as you will not even need any other device close to listening to your favorite songs on AirPods.

I can already hear the whining in the comments. The problem that this feature hopes to repair is a very specialized use condition, but it may end in many wireless earphones from the next generation in the near future. This feature was tested at Snapdragon Summer in Hawaii (full disclosure: travel and housing were paid by Qualcomm, and Gizmodo did not guarantee any coverage as a condition for accepting the trip), which was called XPAN for the “Extensive Personal Region Network”, with a pair of unlimited reference wireless ear used by Qualcomm. With enabling the feature, the buds work with the phone to discover if the device is in the Bluetooth range. If you start walking away, it will be replaced automatically to Wi-Fi.

In many ways, technology is more interesting than the end result. The wireless ear headphones contain the Wi-Fi antenna, although the condition and not the buds look very different from what you used in the past. I walked 30 feet from the phone and returned, and I did not notice any interruption in the song. The phone showed how it was replaced by the P2P connection (analogous to analog) through different types of communication. The Bluetooth 5.3 connection range technically 33 feet. Although this means that you will not lose a connection from the ends of the room to the other, or overlapping walls or – in my case – a crowd of bodies can cut this sign. XPAN only expands the range to include everywhere the Wi-Fi signal.

Although wireless ear headphones with this technology will be limited to the local Wi-Fi network, technology can allow you to listen to your device from “any place in the world” through the Wi-Fi access point. Dino Bekis, General Manager of Qualcomm, told me to call, in a question and answer that there is no problem with the cumin on Wi-Fi compared to Bluetooth. Modern wireless ear headphones are already very good in cumin cutting even when sound flowing without a loss. Wi-Fi networks should be able to handle the necessary 96 kHz speeds to disappear. It shouldn’t matter if you are still used Wi-Fi 6 Or modern Wi-Fi 7 The standard, too.

“Today, with XPAN, it is 96 kHz, but we see that the development to 192 kg to be truly lost.”

Qualcomm talked about Wi-Fi sound connections The past two years With its previous S7 and S7 Pro platforms. The first wireless ear headphones with XPAN were built in Xiaomi Buds 5 Pro Issued earlier this year. They support the standard of 96 kHz, although bekis and our promise should see more wireless earphones soon enough with the current or future S7 chips. Audiophiles will still glorify the benefits of minimal time without loss. The ordinary people who just want to listen to their songs are simply concerned that they need to be within the scope of the associated music. However, the feature may end until it is more useful for receiving calls using your wireless earphones than listening to music.

Inevitably, our wireless ear headphones seem to be connected as our phones today. What this means for music listeners is a future where we communicate with Spotify or Apple Music directly from our wireless ear box or headphones, instead of the need to go on the phone. I don’t think we will need to wait a long time to see more wireless earphones with screens used to control music. Hell, if you are eager to a music device like your old iPod, a pair of wireless earphones that are enabled from Wi-Fi can fit the bill. You still have to push the ten to your favorite music broadcast app, of course.
