Connect Pixel Buds Pro to 2 devices & switch like a pro

Imagine this scenario: you’re comfortably stationed at your desk, engrossed in the immersive sound emanating from your Pixel Buds Pro earbuds connected to your Android tablet. The beats are just right, and you’re in your own audio haven. Suddenly, the need arises to step away from your desk, and the inevitable question pops up – how do you seamlessly switch to listening on your phone without the usual Bluetooth juggling act?

Enter the game-changing features of Pixel Buds Pro – Multipoint connections and Audio Switch. In the world of wireless earbuds, these functionalities are akin to having a backstage pass to a concert, offering you the ability to connect your earbuds concurrently to two devices. Phones, tablets, laptops, desktops, or even TVs, you name it. No more manual switching woes, just uninterrupted audio bliss.

Before diving into the intricacies of Multipoint connections, ensure you have a pair of Pixel Buds Pro and two devices synced to your Google Account. For non-Pixel Android devices, the Google Pixel Buds app, available on the Google Play Store, is a must-have.

1. Begin by removing the Pixel Buds Pro from their case and letting them connect to your primary Android device.
2. Once connected, open Settings on your device or navigate to the Pixel Buds app.
3. Locate the gear icon associated with your Pixel Buds Pro earbuds, tap it, and find the Multipoint option.
4. Within the Multipoint settings, toggle the On/Off slider to the ‘On’ position.

With Multipoint enabled, you can connect Pixel Buds Pro with two devices simultaneously, offering a seamless transition between them.

To take your device-switching experience to the next level, you can enable the Audio Switch feature. This step is crucial for those who wish to have their Pixel Buds Pro automatically switch to the device that’s currently in use, enhancing convenience.

1. Return to the Pixel Buds Pro settings page, and this time, find the Audio Switch option.
2. Toggle the On/Off slider to the ‘On’ position.

Once activated, the Audio Switch feature adds a layer of intelligence to your earbuds, allowing them to detect and switch to the active device seamlessly.

Using Multipoint and Audio Switch is remarkably straightforward, thanks to the user-friendly design of the Pixel Buds Pro and the Android operating system.

For Multipoint connections, initiate the process by stopping media playback on the first device. Next, start playback on the second device. As long as your Pixel Buds Pro are paired with both devices, the transition should occur seamlessly, requiring minimal user intervention.

The real magic happens with Audio Switch. If you’re engrossed in audio content on one device and begin using a second paired device, the Pixel Buds Pro will intelligently detect the switch. A convenient pop-up notification at the top of the device will confirm the change, even offering the option to switch back to the previous device.
