Today, a novelty that should be of interest to owners of wireless headphones, since the new generations of headphones now have a function that makes it easier to find them.
It's Christmas. And one of the biggest gifts this year is the little wireless headphones. However, the greatest fear with these devices is losing them. Your innovation of the day could solve the problem. It's a new generation of earbuds, with a function to make them easier to find.
It is true that they are so small, that there is always one which falls, which slips under a table, which is lost under the sofa ... We do not have the figures in France, but in the metro in New York, they found more than 1,200 in the space of four months.
The new generation begins to integrate a localization module.
It has nothing to do with a GPS.
It is the same technology as the small chips that you stick on your keys or your wallet to be able to find them with your phone.
And this makes it possible, with an application, to have a kind of radar that will precisely locate each earpiece in the room.
Isn't that already possible with Apple Airpods?
No, since the "find your Airpods" function only emits a beep.
And again, only when they are on and nearby.
Otherwise, he just gives the last GPS position where we connected with his phone.
While with this technology, we can locate his headphones even if they are turned off, even if they are miles away by relying on other users.
This is possible thanks to a partnership between manufacturers of headphones and the company Tile, the specialist in chips to stick on its belongings to easily find them.
Is there nothing for everyone who received earbuds on Christmas without this technology?
Yes, the Wunderfind app.
It works much like StopCovid.
It uses Bluetooth technology to give an indication of how far the device is.
Obviously, it must be on and within 10 meters.
But it is still practical.
