How to Connect Two AirPods to One Device
Your AirPods already do a lot, play music, take calls, make you look like a futuristic cyborg. But here’s one trick most people don’t know: you can actually connect two sets of AirPods to the same device. Yes, both of you can listen to the same thing at the same time without passing one bud back and forth like it’s 2013.
Perfect for long flights, shared workouts, or Netflix marathons when subtitles just won’t cut it. So how do you do it? Whether you’re on an iPhone or an iPad, we’ve got the step-by-step breakdown.
Why You’d Want to Connect Two AirPods to One Device
Let’s say you and your friend both have AirPods and you’re vibing to the same playlist or watching the same in-flight romcom. Instead of fighting over volume or syncing your phones like it’s a group project, you just connect both pairs to one iPhone or iPad. Simple. Seamless. Stress-free.
What If Your Headphones Aren’t AirPods?
Using something else? If you’re on a newer Samsung phone, you can use Dual Audio, their version of the same trick. It lets two Bluetooth headphones or speakers stream the same audio at once.
And yes, you can connect AirPods to Android phones but if you’re looking for smooth pairing, features like Share Audio work best on Apple devices.
