Listen to two devices simultaneously with these wireless earbuds
Headsets have always been one of a PC gamer's best friends, but slowly earbuds are gaining ground. Not everyone wants the enclosed feeling of a full headset, and some people are looking for something easy to use on the go as well as at their battle station. Wireless earbuds are an especially lighter alternative to the traditional affair, keeping the head relatively free. And this pair will let you listen to two different sources simultaneously.
Multipoint connectivity for wireless devices isn't new, but most implementations don't allow all to be used at once. Instead they may require manual switching, or do things like connect to your phone when it specifically gets a phone call. But according to Gizmodo, the new Waveform earbuds by Genki let you do a bit more than that.
The company behind Genki, Human Things, has dubbed this new functionality DualStream. It would let you play a game on your PC, while having a phone call, and both will air through the same set of wireless buds. For anyone wanting to free up their PC from other processes while gaming, this could be seriously useful, especially for gaming on the go. Another use case could be using Zoom while listening to music, for example. The important part here is: two devices, one set of earbuds, at the same time, wirelessly. But there is a bit of a catch.
The charging case for the buds can be connected to audio devices via a cable, whether they're audio jack, USB C, or lightning. This acts as a dongle that allows most devices to send a signal to the Waveform earbuds, even if they don't have their own wireless capabilities. This is how Genki's new earphones are able to deliver two streams at once, one of them has to be via this adapter.
