No fanfare, but confirmed – LG revealed to Tom’s Guide that their 2025 TVs will support Bluetooth Auracast. What does this mean? You can connect several pairs of headphones simultaneously – wirelessly, without toggling settings and without delays. An ideal solution for couples, roommates, or individuals with hearing aids who want to avoid noise at night, but want to watch something together.
End of One Bluetooth Connection
Auracast solves the biggest audio problem in TVs. Auracast eliminates the classic limitation: one Bluetooth connection at a time. Until now, it was "either you or me," and watching together ended with loud sound from the speakers. Now everyone can listen on headphones—at the same time, without lag. LG has confirmed that Auracast will be available on all new OLEDs (G5, C5), as well as on LCDs like QNED85A. Audio can also be sent to an amplifier and other devices. Sounds good.
Samsung was first, but LG is off to a fast start
Technology is not mandatory, but more and more companies are adding it. Samsung added Auracast to its top models two years ago – and has not backed down. LG has practically remained silent until now, despite its collaboration with Starkey (the manufacturer of smart hearing aids). Now it is clear that they are taking the topic seriously. Auracast is not a mandatory standard in Bluetooth, so it depends on the goodwill of the manufacturer. Fortunately, it seems that this goodwill is finally emerging.
