Bluetooth-Bose A20-Lightspeed V201 & Garmin 175 connection question.

[Rick7576]

I'm using ipad mini  that is bluetooth connected to my garmin 175, Bose A20 and Lightspeed V201 headsets. The ipad shows it is connected to all 3.

But for some reason when I'm playing music that is on the ipad I can only listen to the music on 1 headset at a time. I have found the same problem with my Iphone 11. anyone have this problem or have a fix? The Garmin stays connected in all situations. Cheers

If you swipe down from the upper-right, do you see this icon?

If you have two headsets connected, you should be able to click this icon and select both of them at once. This is how it works for AirPods, anyway ..

The way to listen on all of them is to connect the phone to the audio panel (if you panel supports bluetooth) and then play it through that to all the headsets.  The iphone or ipad will only play music to one device at a time.

This just is not true. I play music through multiple audio devices from iOS almost every day. 
 

Apple lists a specific set of headphone models for the sharing feature, and I don’t see anything from Bose or Lightspeed on the list, so the OP’s headsets might not work. But for compatible devices, the key config is the button in the screenshot above.

An older issue was….

people confusing WiFi and BlueTooth….

Hardware set up can be confusing some times….

Wifi is very limited to how many connections can be made…

BT is much more multiple connection friendly….

+1 for porting things through a decent audio panel…

Stuff has to be pretty new to handle all the latest connectivity…

Even the order of connections may make a difference…

I have a Sony BT headset (used around the house type) that fights being connected to the iPad or the iPhone…. Sometimes it automatically connects to both…. Very sensitive to what gets turned on first…
