First time trying the Bluetooth feature that lets you stream to multiple earbuds at the same time and wow where has this been all my life 😍

@Nursery811 I'm sponsored by them, so quite a few, haha. These are the Liberty 5 Pro and Pro Max. I basically never use the app, except to find the buds occasionally. You can use it for a hearing test, customized EQ and some AI stuff.
As for recommendations, I like these, but I also haven't reviewed many buds, so I can't quite say objectively
@Techaltar That's alright and thanks, that's really helpful. I've actually been planning to switch from my wired USB-C earphones to earbuds, and I've decided to take the plunge during the Black Friday sale, so I'll keep an eye on the Liberty 5 Pro and Pro Max.

The buds work fine, pretty much as I would expect them to. In the few days that I have tried them they did stutter maybe twice, but nothing major, and I was also in a busy subway so maybe it was interference. Both people can control playback and adjust volume separately. Pretty cool. You can see setup here:
@Techaltar Yay! Dungeon Crawler Carl! 😃
@Techaltar I have to turn off LE Audio because inevitably one of my two earbuds gets a garbled packet over the air and compensates in a way that puts both buds out of phase until the next sync frame syncs them up again. It's annoying. A headset with one radio would have better luck.
@Techaltar Finally I can listen in all four of my ears at once!
@Techaltar i am looking forward to auracast for like 2 years now... slowly there is adoption... it's the one thing that excited me the most in new bluetooth protocols... worked out of the box for you? was there a delay between the two?
@leisefuxx yeah on my Fold 7 with the earbuds in the picture it worked flawlessly right away. A Huawei tablet I have doesn't seem to have the option. Haven't tried other devices yet
@Techaltar how does one learn this kind of black magic

@Techaltar @mrkreuzer how do you actually enable this though? On Android?
@stark @mrkreuzer on Samsung I pull down the notification panel and tap on media output. Then is both devices are connected I get checkboxes to decide which one I want to play to, as the screenshot shows
@Techaltar Wait, that's a thing? :O

@Techaltar Wow. I'd heard about this a while ago, but it completely slipped my mind. By the way, which Soundcore Liberty earbuds are you using? And besides the EQ adjustments, are there any other features locked behind the app? Also, do you have any recommendations for earbuds for office use?
