Other features LibrePods unlock includes conversational awareness that will lower the volume while you\u2019re speaking, switching between noise control modes, accurate battery level info, customizations like accessibility settings and renaming your headphones, hearing aid mode, and multi-device connectivity.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">Devar says LibrePods should work with all AirPods models and while you\u2019ll get full functionality when using it with the AirPods Max and the most recent versions of the AirPods Pro, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/headphone-review\/777798\/airpods-pro-3-review-active-noise-cancelling-live-translation-headphones\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">AirPods Pro 3\u2019s heart rate monitoring<\/a> isn\u2019t supported.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">However, getting LibrePods up and running on your Android phone isn\u2019t as easy as just installing the app. Devar says that \u201cdue to a bug in the Android Bluetooth stack\u201d LibrePods will currently only work on rooted Android phones that have the Xposed framework installed. If you have a OnePlus or Oppo device running ColorOS or OxygenOS 16 you can install and use LibrePods without rooting, but you won\u2019t have access to some features like customizing the transparency mode until you do.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"LibrePods was created by reverse engineering the AirPods\u2019 proprietary protocols, and it works by making the wireless headphones&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":143734,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[2090,670,964,330,133,27958,85,46,35806,43,920,125],"class_list":["post-143733","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-technology","tag-android","tag-apple","tag-audio","tag-gadgets","tag-google","tag-headphones","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-linux","tag-news","tag-tech","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/143733","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=143733"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/143733\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/143734"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=143733"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=143733"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=143733"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
