Xbox has joined the Wireless Speaker and Audio Association (WISA), leading speculation its consoles will soon support wireless speakers.
Microsoft’s game console joins audio brands like Gibson, Bang & Olufsen, LG and Harman/Kardon. At present, Xbox is the only game console part of the association.
WISA members use a 7.1 channel audio standard that operates in the 5.2-5.8 GHz radio frequency spectrum. One-touch pairing is offered, similar to setups available on WiFi or Bluetooth.
As you may gather from the brands listed above, WISA-certified tech doesn’t come cheap; then again, neither does the upcoming Xbox One X.
We’ll keep you in the loop as more is known. The Xbox One X hits store shelves on 7 November.
