AirPods Automatic Switching
For the first time on Mac, you’ll be able to automatically switch your AirPods between your Apple devices. That way, if you’re listening to music on your iPad, but start watching a video on your Mac, you can make it so your AirPods will automatically switch and connect to your computer so you can hear your Mac when you need to.
Keep in mind, though, all of your devices must be paired to the same iCloud account for the automatic device switching feature to work.
Also, keep in mind this will work on all AirPods and Beats Headphones that have the Apple H1 Chip. This is a fairly new chip that you’ll only find in the second-generation AirPods, the AirPods Pro, and other Beats headphones such as the Powerbeats Pro and the Powerbeats High-Performance Wireless Earphones.
