tl;dr from the article:

  • Auracast is a feature of the Bluetooth LE Audio standard that enables broadcasting audio to nearby devices.
  • Android added basic support for Bluetooth LE Audio in Android 13, including support for starting and connecting to audio streams.
  • Android 15 could get a dedicated page for audio sharing, signaling that Auracast could be a key feature of the new OS.

So will we be able to finally play music to two pairs of headphones at once?

It sounds like you'll be able to play music to an unlimited number of headphones

Nice. I've never owned a Galaxy with that capability and now I'm using a Pixel so it's definitely new for me.
