is it possible to run a pair of proprietary wireless earbuds on a debian 12.7? - eviltoast

not a fan of huawei earbuds but I got a pair as a present.

Only use I see for this thing is to listen to music with my notebook and maybe with the android device (an asus with android 8).

I’ve never used wireless earbuds, so I have no idea how to start.

Help appreciated

    Yeah. It will almost certainly work, but you might not get the same quality as you get on Android. Check the specs of your specific model of earbuds to see which codecs they support. LDAC should work on Debian, but as far as I know Huawei’s proprietary L2HC codec does not work on Linux.

    I’m not 100% sure about this since I’ve never used Huawei earbuds myself.
