Apple’s AirPods are a wireless earbuds that connect to an iPhone or iPad. They’re designed to work with Apple’s iOS and macOS operating systems, but they don’t work with Windows 10. Microsoft has been working on improving support for AirPods in Windows 11, and the latest update includes a new feature called “Hey Cortana.” Hey Cortana is a feature that lets you control some of your devices using voice commands. You can use it to play music, answer questions, control settings, and more. You can also use it to control AirPods by saying “Hey Cortana, play music from my iPhone.” The update is available now in the Windows Store. If you don’t have the latest update yet, you can download it from here. ..
In a blog post announcing Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 22526 to the Dev Channel, Microsoft said, “We have added support for wideband speech when using Apple AirPods products (AirPods, AirPods Pro, or AirPods Max), improving audio quality for voice calls.”
That means that Microsoft will make it so voice calls sound better when using AirPods on Windows 11, which is excellent for anyone who has to take a lot of remote meetings or make calls through their PC. Even if you use your AirPods to play games, this update will come in handy.
Wideband speech is also called HD voice, and it offers a broader frequency range than traditional calling techniques, which will make your calls sound clearer.
This feature is currently in the Dev build for Windows 11, which means it’ll take some time before it makes its way to the release version of Microsoft’s OS. Typically, a feature goes from Dev to Beta and finally, to Release. If you want to try it now, you can switch to the Dev channel, but be prepared for the issues that come with using prerelease software.
