With headphone jacks slowly making their way out of smartphones, we’re forced to either use USB-C earbuds or rely on Bluetooth-powered headphones to listen to music on our mobile devices. In hopes of easing the pain of syncing your Bluetooth headphones and speakers, Google accounts can now remember Fast Pair-compatible headphones you have used and transfer this connection to other devices you’re signed in. It’s also coming to Chromebooks in 2019. Fast Pair, which originally launched in October 2017, hasn’t been adopted as quickly as Google would like. JayBirds already has a few Fast Pair headsets but this time brands like Bose and Anker are also going to support the feature.
To register a compatible Fast Pair device, you just need to turn it on and an Android 6.0+ phone will generate a pop-up to speed up the pairing process. The latest update will allow your Google account to remember the headphones you’ve paired it to and carry that information to other devices you sign into.
