Apple’s new Audio Sharing feature makes it easier for you and a friend to listen to a song or watch a video together without using speakers. Unfortunately, the function is limited to newer iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches paired with AirPods or PowerBeats Pro.
What Devices Work with Audio Sharing
As mentioned, the new Audio Sharing feature supports first- and second-generation AirPods and PowerBeats Pro wireless headphones. This list should expand as more devices are released with Apple’s W1 or H1 chip.
Currently, Audio Sharing is only available on the following devices:
- iPhone 8 (and newer)
- iPad Pro (first-generation and newer)
- iPad Air (third-generation and newer)
- iPad mini (fifth-generation and newer)
- iPod touch (seventh-generation and newer)
How to Pair Another Set of AirPods
Using Apple’s Audio Sharing feature, you can connect two pairs of wireless headphones to a single iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch and seamlessly share the audio to both devices without any lag or stutter.
To connect the second pair of AirPods to your iPhone, open the AirPods case next to your iPhone. You’ll see a popup saying that these AirPods are not yours, but you can connect to them. Here, tap on the “Connect” button.
Next, put the AirPods into pairing mode by pressing the physical button at the back of the AirPods case. The AirPods will be connected, and you’ll see the battery status on the screen. Here, tap on “Done.”
How to Play Audio on Two Sets of AirPods
Now that the second pair of AirPods are paired to your device, you can control the audio output through any AirPlay menu. This includes the Now Playing widget in Control Center, the Music app, and the Now Playing widget on the lock screen.
