Google Assistant Will Now Be Available on More Wired Headphones

Published by Sana Imaad Saturday, December 12, 2020

At the moment, there are plenty of headphones and earphones that have built-in support for voice assistants. While most of these devices are wireless, keeping in mind the purpose of virtual assistants, Google has now announced that its virtual assistant will now be supporting and available for use ina. a couple of wired headphones that run on a 3.5 mm pin or via a USB-C cable.

Devices that already feature Google Assistant support were officially 'optimized' for Google Assistant. An example is the company's own 'Pixel Buds' which are a wired set of headphones running via the USB-C system. 

But now, headphones not explicitly optimized will notify users to call on Google Assistant as per the action button in the particular headset, making setting appointments, alarms, and all functions done via Google Assistant easier without having to touch the screen.

The function is available even for Apple's Airpods or ear pods, which are an older version of the company's earphones. So for anyone that has been using wired headphones or plans to use them in the future, this update by Google is a big thumbs up.
