Confirming the Air Pro 4's LE Audio / LC3 mode still doesn't work with Google Pixel 8 Pro.
Yesterday I switched the earbuds to le audio mode and reset them. I was able to pair them to my phone, but the app wouldn't display the codec or any information, and a third-party BT info app also couldn't connect and display the codec (normally it can). Today I found the buds would connect and disconnect and connect and disconnect and I couldn't play any music.
Conclusion:
Earfun Air Pro 4 STILL don't properly support LE Audio and LC3 codec, despite the marketing...
That said, I did get the buds working with an Auracast capable Bluetooth dongle (Floogoo FMA120) connected to my laptop. In the Floocast app if I set it to broadcast mode, it reported LE Audio with LC3 codec in use, and I could hear the music I was playing, However, the buds could not handle it when I toggled broadcast back to normal mode and then briadcast again.
The Earfun Air Pro 4 are the first earbuds I jave ever owned that have to reboot every time you change a setting. Other earbuds happily change between BT codecs without having to reboot the damn things. e.g. Soundpeats Air 4 Pro. Aptx and LC3 both work just fine on those.
I really, really hope the upcoming Earfun Air Pro 4+ (i.e. the Plus version, with dual drivers and AI translation...), fix the LE Audio shittiness, especially.with the upcoming dongle -- surely they will be compatible. whem both ends of the BT connection are the same brand? Interestingly, the new dongle has the same Qualcomm chip as the Floogoo FMA120 that I already have.
