How Many Auracast-Enabled Devices Are Available Today in the Market?

As Bluetooth LE Audio becomes more widely adopted, Auracast broadcast audio is gaining attention as one of its most groundbreaking features. Auracast allows a single audio source—like a TV, PA system, or smartphone—to wirelessly broadcast audio to an unlimited number of nearby receivers, such as earbuds or hearing aids.

But how many Auracast-enabled devices are actually available in the market today?

The Auracast Rollout: Still Early, But Growing Fast

As of 2025, we’re still in the early phase of Auracast adoption. While support is growing, only a limited number of consumer devices fully support Auracast natively. However, the landscape is changing rapidly, with more manufacturers preparing to launch compatible products throughout the year.

Current Categories of Auracast-Enabled Devices

Here’s a breakdown of where Auracast support is beginning to appear:

Hearing Aids and Assistive Devices

Auracast is especially beneficial for hearing technology. Brands like GN ReSound and Cochlear have already introduced or announced devices that can receive Auracast broadcasts, improving accessibility in public venues.

Earbuds and Headphones

A few Bluetooth LE Audio-compatible earbuds support Auracast or are firmware-upgradable to do so. While most mainstream earbuds don’t yet support Auracast, brands like Jabra, Sony, and Sennheiser are among the early adopters.

Smartphones and Audio Transmitters

Some phones and Bluetooth transmitters are beginning to ship with LE Audio + Auracast support. Google Pixel phones and Samsung Galaxy models with Android 13+ are laying the groundwork, especially as Android continues adding native LE Audio support.

Public Broadcast Systems

Audio infrastructure providers are starting to offer Auracast-enabled transmitters for airports, stadiums, museums, and theaters, where public broadcast audio can be shared with visitors’ personal devices.

Real-World Deployments

Some pilot programs and public installations are already using Auracast. For example:

• Airports in Europe and Asia are trialing Auracast-compatible PA systems.
• Museums and conference centers are testing multi-language audio tours using Auracast-enabled earbuds or hearing aids.
• Fitness centers are exploring Auracast for broadcasting audio from TVs to personal earbuds.

Why Aren’t More Devices Auracast-Ready Yet?

There are a few reasons:

• Hardware Requirements: Devices need Bluetooth 5.2 or later with LE Audio support.
• Software Maturity: Auracast is built on newer LE Audio protocols that require updates to OS-level Bluetooth stacks.
• Certification and Branding: Devices must be certified to officially support Auracast branding, which takes time.

What to Expect in 2025 and Beyond

The Bluetooth SIG expects hundreds of millions of LE Audio and Auracast-compatible devices to ship over the next few years. As chipset support matures and operating systems (like Android and Windows) adopt full LE Audio stacks, more phones, laptops, earbuds, and public systems will offer out-of-the-box Auracast support.
