Pioneer has announced that its Rayz Lightning earphones have been updated with support for 'Hey Siri'.

“Today we are pleased to announce that users can say ‘Hey Siri’ while using Rayz earphones to easily make a call, send a message, listen to music and much more, even when iPhone is in their pocket,” said Munenori Otsuki, CEO of Pioneer & Onkyo U.S.A. Corporation. With support for Siri, Rayz Lightning Earphones automatically recognize “Hey Siri” commands and allow our users to do so much more using just their voice.”

● Native language support for Chinese, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish
AutoPause improvements
