Panasonic has rolled out a firmware update that brings Bluetooth Auracast to several 2024 and 2025 TV models. This lets users broadcast TV audio to an unlimited number of compatible headphones at once. The feature uses Bluetooth LE Audio to send sound without needing individual pairings for each device.
Which Models Get the Update
The update targets premium Panasonic TVs. It started rolling out in December 2025. Check your TV’s software menu to see if it’s available.
Affected models include:
- OLED series: Z85A, Z90A, Z93A, Z95A, Z90B, Z95B (and their size variants)
- LCD series: W90A, W95A (and their size variants)
The update applies to TVs in Europe and other regions where these models are sold.
How Auracast Works on These TVs
Auracast turns the TV into a broadcast transmitter. It sends audio to any Auracast-enabled headphones or earbuds in range. No traditional Bluetooth pairing is required for each listener. Users simply join the broadcast on their headphones.
This setup works well for shared viewing. Multiple people can listen at their own volume without disturbing others. The TV’s speakers can stay on or off.
Headphones must support Auracast. Panasonic recommends its Technics EAH-AZ100 earbuds as a good match. These earbuds handle the broadcast and add features like noise cancellation.
How to Get the Update
Go to your TV’s settings. Look under System > Software Update or Device & Software > Information > Check for Updates (on Fire TV models). Install if the December 2025 update shows up.
Keep your TV connected to the internet. The update downloads automatically in waves. It may take a few days to reach all eligible devices.
Why This Matters
Auracast fixes the old limit of connecting just one or two headphones to a TV. Now, families or groups can watch together without cables or volume conflicts. It also helps in quiet settings, like late-night viewing.
Other brands like Samsung and LG added Auracast earlier. Panasonic brings it to more recent models via update. This keeps older hardware useful.
The update is part of Panasonic’s push for better audio sharing. It builds on Bluetooth LE Audio basics. More TVs may get support later if hardware allows.
Check your TV soon. If the update is not there yet, it should arrive in the coming days.
