Many users do not know that it is possible to connect a pair of headphones to the cell phone and the computer at the same time. There are some methods to have this option that can be useful in many cases for multitasking or keeping an eye on both devices.
The solution to this situation is multipoint headphones. They are devices that have the ability to connect to two devices simultaneously, allowing the user to enjoy content from different sources without having to disconnect and reconnect the headphones each time.
This feature is not present in all headphones on the market, so it is important to check the product specifications before making the purchase. Multipoint headsets are usually clearly labeled and have something to identify them, because manufacturers are interested in highlighting this feature.
- Connect headphones to cell phone:
To connect your multipoint headphones to your cell phone, whether it is an Android or iOS device, the steps are relatively simple. Firstly, make sure the headphones are in pairing mode, which is usually achieved by holding down a specific button on the headphones for a few seconds.
Once in pairing mode, go to your cell phone’s Bluetooth settings.
If you have an Android device, navigate to the Bluetooth section in settings, Find your headphones in the list of available devices and select the option to pair them.
On the other hand, if you have an iPhone or iPad, go to the Bluetooth settings and look for the headphones in the other devices section. Once paired, You can enjoy your music, podcast or phone calls from your cell phone with total comfort.
- Connection with laptop:
Connecting multipoint headsets to a laptop, whether running Windows or macOS, follows a similar process to mobile devices, but with some differences in the specific steps to follow.
For Windows, first make sure the headphones are in pairing mode. Then, access the devices and Bluetooth settings from the home menu. Activate Bluetooth if it is not already enabled and search for the headphones in the list of available devices. Once you find them, select the option to pair them and you are ready to enjoy your multimedia content from your Windows laptop.
On the other hand, if you are a macOS user, the process is equally simple. Make sure the headphones are in pairing mode, then go to system settings from the Apple menu. Head to the Bluetooth section, where you should see the headphones in the list of available devices. Click on the option to connect them and that’s it. Now you can enjoy your music or videos from your Apple laptop with the same ease as from your cell phone.
The possibility of connecting our headphones to both the cell phone and the laptop at the same time opens a range of possibilities in terms of comfort and productivity. It is no longer necessary to disconnect and reconnect the headphones every time we change devices. With multipoint technology, we can enjoy content from multiple sources without interruptions or complications.
One of the most notable functions is being able to listen to music on the computer or consume some multimedia content and at the same time be aware of cell phone calls and notifications. This is very useful in spaces where we need to be aware of both devices and we cannot change headphones or pick up the phone to answer calls.
Depending on the model we have, it will be possible to alternate between the content that the hearing aids play, in some cases it is automatic or in others it must be done manually.
