REUTERS\/Aly Song<\/figcaption><p>(Reuters) &#8211; Qualcomm Inc on Thursday announced a new line of chips for connecting wireless speakers and headphones designed to help Android phones rival the ease-of-use of Apple Inc\u2019s headphones.<\/p>\n<p>Wireless headphones have become one of the iPhone maker\u2019s fastest-growing segments. Many special features of Apple\u2019s AirPods, such as ease of pairing with phones and the ability to share audio streams from a phone with other Apple users, come from special chips that Apple puts in its phones and headphones that help them communicate with one another.<\/p>\n<p>Qualcomm released a line of chips designed to enable a similar level of integration between Android phones, where it has a large share of the market for processing chips, and third-party headphones from audio-focused brands such as Audio-Technica Corp.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe challenge in the Android ecosystem is that it\u2019s not as closed or vertically integrated as the iOS ecosystem. It\u2019s very fragmented,\u201d said Rahul Patel, senior vice president and general manager of Qualcomm\u2019s connectivity chip unit. \u201cWe want to enable (audio companies) to work seamlessly with Android products.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Qualcomm said Audio-Technica and Xiaomi Corp would be initial customers for the chips, with phones and earbuds featuring them expected this summer.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/us-qualcomm-tech\/qualcomm-takes-aim-at-apple-with-line-of-wireless-audio-chips-idUSKBN2AW2A7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FILE PHOTO: People visit a Qualcomm booth<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":115511,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[23054],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
