These wireless Bluetooth earphones allow users to switch audio sources from one Apple device to another. For this to work, the devices must also be connected to the same Apple ID. As soon as you put these earphones into your ears, the audio plays automatically, and pauses once you take one of the Airpods out. Taking both earphones out on the other hand, stops the audio.
