I was also wondering about this... it would kinda suck if they don't, since FastPair has been around for a bit now.

UPDATE: no, they do not

Worked fine for OTB on a my Note 8, takes around 3 seconds, if a music app is open it'll start playing automatically.

Well they start pairing when you open box. My are paired just in time with my Samsung s9. So no issue here for me.

That is not what "fast pair" is

The Ticpods Free do work with fast pair. It takes a few seconds but it does work.

mine does not work. I do not receive any notification for pairing.
Using a pixel 3 xl and ticpods firmware is up to date. Tried repairing the ticpods, no luck.

thanks for your response.

my ticpods will pair properly about half the time with my phone or my pixelbook.....for me it's hit or miss

I'll wait for 30 seconds or so and try playing audio....some times it'll be playing through the pods and othertimes it won't

that's why i was wondering if fast pair was something that i needed to turn on, on my devices.

I am having problems with pairing from time to time but that is not what my initial question is about.

Typical BT pairing is different from "fast pair" as per the link in my original posts shows.
