How to Pair Two AirPods with One iPhone, iPad, or MacBook

One of the simplest methods is connecting a set of AirPods or AirPods Pro to your iPhone or MacBook. Connecting two AirPods to a single iPhone, iPad, or MacBook is difficult. After you've connected them, you'll be able to listen to the same music or watch the same movie without bothering anyone else.


It's important to remember that the connecting device must support Audio Sharing. Most recent Apple gadgets, thankfully, support this capability. For the record, all iPhones after the iPhone 8 and iPad Pro first-generation support are compatible.

Here's how to connect two AirPods to a single iPhone, iPad, or MacBook if you want to share audio between two audio devices. So, how about we get this party started?

HOW DO I CONNECT TWO AIRPODS TO AN IPAD OR AN IPHONE?

It's assumed that you've already paired the first pair of AirPods or AirPods Pro to your iPhone or iPad (see greatest AirPods Pro features).

Step 1: Remain on the home screen after unlocking your iPhone.

Step 2: Now, open your AirPods or AirPods Pro case and place it near your iPhone for a few moments.


To connect the AirPods, you should see the animation. As you may have predicted, you must press the Temporarily Share Audio button.

To finish the operation, press and hold the button on the rear of the charging case.

 

Step 3: Go to your iPhone's Bluetooth settings, and you should be able to see both AirPods connected to your phone.

The beautiful thing about this method is that you have complete control over the volume levels.

Step 4: To individually manage the volume, start a video and pull down the Control Center. After that, press the AirPlay symbol to get the individual volume control.


HOW CAN TWO AIRPODS BE CONNECTED TO A SINGLE MACBOOK?

Interestingly, you can use your MacBook Air or MacBook Pro to play audio through various AirPods. Unfortunately, unlike the above, it is not a straightforward 1-2-3 operation and necessitates some system settings tweaking.

Nonetheless, it is possible. So, the next time you wish to share the audio from your Mac with two AirPods or AirPods Pro, do as follows. We're assuming you've already connected the first pair of AirPods to your Mac.

Step 1: Connect the second pair of AirPods to the Mac by resetting them. To do so, press and hold the Back button on your earbuds until the LED light on the earphones flashes white.

Step 2: On your Mac, open the Control Center and go to Bluetooth Settings. When you select Bluetooth Preferences, the other pair of AirPods should appear in the menu.


Connect by pressing the Connect button. Now you've crossed half of the bridge.

Step 3: Open Finder and go to the left panel and pick Applications. After that, scroll down to Utilities and double-click the Audio MIDI Setup option.


A tiny window will appear. Now, pick Create Multi-Output Device from the list by clicking the tiny Plus-icon below.


Step 4: Select the default MacBook speakers and deselect them. Select the two AirPods and dismiss the window instead.


Step 5: When you're finished, go to the upper left corner of your screen and pick System Preferences from the menu.


The chances are that the Bluetooth Settings window will pop up. If so, go back to Sound by pressing the Back button. If not, select Sound from the drop-down menu.


All you have to do now is select the Multi-Output Device. That concludes our discussion. Now you may enjoy the audio shared between the paired AirPods while watching a video or listening to an audio file. Yes, you'll be able to thank me later.

You can't manage the level individually, unlike the previous process, because the system sends the same music to two different devices.

Open Bluetooth settings and tap on the ones you wish to disconnect whenever you need to disconnect. If you're using headphones like the AirPods Max, keep in mind that you may need to hit the Connect button frequently because they disconnect when you take them out of your ear.
