Windows users of Apple AirPods can now enjoy a more native experience thanks to AirPodsDesktop, an open-source software designed to enhance the functionality of AirPods on Windows. This software brings features akin to those experienced on Mac devices, such as animated connection interfaces, battery level displays for both the earbuds and the charging case, automatic ear detection, and low latency audio mode.
AirPodsDesktop offers a range of features aimed at improving the user experience:
To use AirPodsDesktop, users need to download the software from its GitHub releases page and follow a straightforward installation process. The software can be set to launch at startup for convenience. Users may also need to install Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable if prompted due to missing MSVCP140.dll.
The main advantages of using AirPodsDesktop include its ability to enhance the AirPods experience on Windows, providing a more seamless and integrated experience for users already invested in the Apple ecosystem.
