With the release of the new Sony WH-1000XM6 headphones, users enjoy optimized and advanced noise cancelling technology with excellent audio clarity, better sound quality and more immersive experience. Tailoredly fit to provide both comfort and functionality, the Sony WH-1000XM6 headphone augments user-experience with Auto Ambient Sound Mode, intuitive volume controls, longer hours of playback and super quick charging.
Plus, you can access and use Bluetooth Auracast with Sony WH-1000XM6.
However, there are things you need to consider first before using Auracast on your Sony headphones. You need to switch to LE Audio mode – manually do so since your headphones use the classic Bluetooth mode by default. And, you can only connect to mobile phones with built-in Auracast assistant.
The Sony WH-1000XM6 uses the mobile phone’s Auracast assistant and not through the Sound Connect app. This follows that your mobile device must have its own software, which is available when using Android 13 version and higher. Users may not be able to use Auracast when connecting to their iPhones or iPads. To work around it, you will need to use devices with the Auracast assistant for iOS.
How to Enable Bluetooth Auracast Feature on Sony WH-1000XM6 Headphones
Now that you are set on LE Audio Mode and connected to your Android 13 mobile device, let’s begin to enable Auracast on your new Sony WH-1000XM6 headphone.
Access the Bluetooth settings on your phone. Go to the list of paired devices and look for Sony WH-1000XM6. Select Listen to Auracast broadcast. Now, choose an available broadcast and start listening to the audio on your Sony headphones.
Bluetooth Auracast makes it easier and faster to share audio without the need for a lengthy pairing process. It simply scans for available Auracast broadcasts, much like scanning for a WiFi network. Once connected, you can instantly listen to the audio.
As for security features, Bluetooth Auracast allows you to set the broadcast privately or in public. You can open the connection to any available Auracast-enabled device or you can set a password or PIN to selected users.
