Uh, what? They absolutely can. I don’t have to do a single thing to switch sources. They automatically pick up the device that is playing sound.



Only between 2 sources. Airpods can switch seamlessly between all my Apple devices without me needing to do anything. The only exception is my PC since I have to connect via Bluetooth.


How many (Apple) devices can be simultaneously paired with the Airpods?


As many as are synced via iCloud. I currently can switch between iPhone, iPad, Mac (multiples), Macbooks (multiples), and Apple TV and also Apple Watch. I also have them paired with my gaming PC and some gaming consoles but those don't automatically switch. I have to go into a Bluetooth menu and connect them but that's quick and no different from most Bluetooth headsets. The in-ecosystem stuff is the killer piece for me.
