[Electronics-Talk] Air Pods

Sun Apr 2 15:42:32 UTC 2017

Any bluetooth headset should work with any bluetooth device. You may 
need to hit the connect button on the device you want to use it with to 
connect it with that device instead of the previous device you were 
using with that headset. If you don't want to do that then I think the 
multipoint feature in bluetooth will help you get what you want. There 
are headsets out there that support multipoint.
