How To Use Two Bluetooth Headphones At The Same Time

The usage of headphones has become a common practice in this modern age. There are many upgraded models available in the market with the capability to connect with any device. You can easily connect multiple wired headphones to a laptop using a splitter.

What if you want to go wireless?

Well, that can be challenging, but not impossible.

Thanks to advanced technology.

Whether you want to enjoy actionable games with a friend or connect with two people on the same call in an enterprise setting, you need to connect two headphones at a time.

But, it's always frustrating when you realize that it's not as simple as merely pairing the devices.

The good news?

I have got some smart tips for you.

Check them out.

Use an External Bluetooth Signal Emitter

The pre-installed Bluetooth device in your Laptop may not be strong enough to connect two headsets simultaneously with better audio quality.

Buying an external signal emitter would be a good solution.

This solution is equally ideal with any smart device having a headphone jack.

There are many Bluetooth signal emitter devices available in the market, so make sure you buy the one that has low latency and supports at least two pairs of headphones.

If you want to avoid sound delays and experience better sound quality, opt for the lower latency.

Once you bought the device, update your Laptop's Bluetooth drivers to prevent any potential software issues.

Set the device in TX (transfer mode) by moving the slider available at the side of the device, and you're set.

Connect your device to your Laptop by putting it in the AUX (auxiliary) mode. You can do this with a different slider from the other side of the device. Put that auxiliary cable to your Laptop to physically connect the transmitter.

Next, put your both Bluetooth headphones into pair mode by holding the appropriate buttons.

Switch on the signal emitter, put in the pairing mode, and wait for the transmitter and headsets to get in sync.

Congratulations! Your Bluetooth headsets have just paired with your Laptop.

Download Virtual Audio Cable from Media Fire

Another simple and easy way to connect two Bluetooth headphones at the same time on a Laptop is to download a virtual audio cable.

Once you download, drag it to an easy-to-access location, such as the desktop.
Open the file and run the setup.exe file. Follow all the relatively simple steps.
You will see two options in the file x64 and x86, pick your preferred choice.
If you select x64, you will see the very first file named "audio repeater" select it and drag it to your desktop.
Right click on your speakers' tab and select playback devices.
Select "Line 1 Virtual Audio Cable", and set it to default.
Open the audio repeater file twice.
Select "virtual audio cable 1" in the first window and "virtual audio cable 2" in the second window from the wave in section.
Now select your "Bluetooth headset devices" from the wave out section in both windows and click start on both of them.

Congrats! You have set up two headphones on your Laptop, and you will be listening to audio from both of your Bluetooth headphones simultaneously.

Use Third-party Audio Mixer Software

If you want a quick, hassle-free solution to connect your Bluetooth headphones, go for the third-party applications/software.

There are a few audio mixer applications and servers that can be installed in your Laptop and smartphones.

All you need is an efficient WIFI connection.

Audio-mixer software allows you to manage multiple sounds at once and put them together into multiple channels.

You can seamlessly connect your two headphones to a laptop and listen to your favorite audios while walking around the home.

Soundwire, Ultimate Ears, Ultra mixer, and Just Mixer 5 are a few good names.

You can easily download the software on your Laptop and enjoy streaming Netflix with your friends.

Purchase a Bluetooth Audio Adapter

Want to enjoy horror gaming series with your girlfriend?

Buy a Bluetooth adapter to connect your headphones to a laptop.

A Bluetooth adapter is a smart device that easily connects up to seven Bluetooth devices on a single Laptop with an internet connection.

Enjoy multi-device listening by following these simple steps:

Insert your Bluetooth adapter into your Laptop
Turn on your Bluetooth headphones so you can pair them
Go to settings> click on "Bluetooth"> More Bluetooth options > Allow Bluetooth devices.
Cross check to make sure whether your both Bluetooth headphones are paired perfectly with your Laptop or not.

Important Note: If you find any difficulty in pairing the devices, follow your system's requirements.

Forget those auxiliary splitters and switch to smart headphones with music sharing functionality.

These headphones have a unique broadcast function that allows you to share audio with up to multiple Bluetooth devices nearby.

Follow these steps to connect your Bluetooth headsets.

Flip the power switch to the middle to turn on the headphone; it will automatically enter into pairing mode.
Connect this Bluetooth Speaker to your Laptop and turn on the music you want to listen to.
With the headphones already paired with your Laptop, press and hold the broadcast button for five seconds until the LED indicator turned green.
Again, short press the broadcast button, and you will see the LED light flashing rapidly.
Now, grab your second Bluetooth Procast headset and make sure it is not paired with any other device.
Switch it on and repeat the same process to access the broadcast button until you see the LED indicator turned white.
Short press the broadcast button until the white LED starts flashing rapidly.
Keep both the headphones close to each other and wait for a few minutes until the second pair's LED light turned solid white.

You are good to go. You can enjoy better sound quality on two Bluetooth headsets from a single Laptop.
