Can one device simultaneously use several airpods

[bigfatipod]

we’re going to be taking the trip with our kids. Is it possible for a single iPad or iPhone to broadcast to two pairs of AirPods simultaneously so the kids can watch the same show? Thanks for any advice!

I may be wrong here but, I don't believe that that is possible. Someone feel free to correct me if needed.

I believe you can using iOS audio sharing.

Good catch. I completely forgot about that new feature.

Yeah, it's a nice feature. I just tested it with a YouTube video on my iPhone connecting to a pair of AirPods Max and a pair of AirPods Pro. Works great.

Were you able to get it to work?

Note, if you do activate more than one set of AirPods on a device. After it is done, you need to “Forget” the pair in the bluetooth menu that don’t belong to you. Otherwise, you’re constantly linked to that pair.

It is suggestive that it's limited to just two bluetooth sessions though. (not many)
