One Headphone, Two Audio Sources - Multi-Point Connection

By July 15, 2020 1 comment

Before doing anything, please double-check to confirm that your Headphone DOES in fact support multipoint connection; not all Bluetooth headphones can do it. For instance, Sony WH-1000xM3 doesn't have it, but Sennheiser Momentum 3 does.

Scenario 1: Cell Phone + Television



Have your Bluetooth Headphone wirelessly connected to your Cell Phone AND your TV at the same time so you won't miss in-coming phone calls while listening to your TV via your Wireless Headphones; the Headphones (if it supports multi-link) will AUTOMATICALLY SWITCH onto your phone whenver a phone call comes in.

This feature can be applied to either Direct Connections (TV with built-in Bluetooth) or Connection via a Bluetooth Adapter (TV without built-in Bluetooth).

Here's How to do it:

1. Connect the Headphones to your Phone.

This should be a fairly straightforward step. Just follow the instructions on your Headphone's user manual.

2. Connect the Headphones to your TV.

If you'd like to use your TV's built-in Bluetooth, connect the Headphones to your TV; if you'd like to use a Bluetooth Transmitter Adapter (such as Avantree Oasis Plus or Audikast Plus), connect your Headphones to the Adapter. 

3. You Should Be Good to Go!

Android phones that support aptX-HD may cause the audio to be choppy. When this happens, go into your Android phone's Bluetooth menu and turn aptX-HD off.

4. Reconnecting on your Next Use.

Simply turn on all three devices, they should automatically reconnect, no need to go through the pairing process again.

 



Scenario 2: Computer/Laptop + Cell Phone



Have your Bluetooth Headphone wirelessly connected to your Computer/Laptop AND your Cell Phone at the same time so you won't miss in-coming phone calls while doing work or listening to music on your Computer/Laptop; the Headphones (if it supports multi-link) will AUTOMATICALLY SWITCH onto your phone whenver a phone call comes in.

This feature can be applied to either Direct Connections (PCs with built-in Bluetooth) or Connection via a Bluetooth Adapter (PCs without built-in Bluetooth). 

Here's How to do it:

1. Connect the Headphones to your Phone.

This should be a fairly straightforward step. Just follow the instructions on your Headphone's user manual.

2. Connect the Headphones to your Computer/Laptop.

If you'd like to use your PC's built-in Bluetooth, connect the Headphones to your PC; if you'd like to use a Bluetooth Transmitter Adapter (such as Avantree DG60 or DG80), connect your Headphones to the Adapter. 

3. You Should Be Good to Go!

Android phones that support aptX-HD may cause the audio to be choppy. When this happens, go into your Android phone's Bluetooth menu and turn aptX-HD off.

4. Reconnecting on your Next Use.

Simply turn on all three devices, they should automatically reconnect, no need to go through the pairing process again.



Scenario 3: Tablet + Cell Phone



Have your Bluetooth Headphone wirelessly connected to your Cell Phone AND your Tablet at the same time so you won't miss in-coming phone calls while watching videos or enjoying music on your Tablet; the Headphones (if it supports multi-link) will AUTOMATICALLY SWITCH onto your phone whenver a phone call comes in.

Here's How to do it:

1. Connect the Headphones to your Phone.

This should be a fairly straightforward step. Just follow the instructions on your Headphone's user manual.

2. Connect the Headphones to your Tablet.

Should be straightforward too, just follow the instructions on your user manual.

3. You Should Be Good to Go!

Android phones and/or Android tablets that support aptX-HD may cause the audio to be choppy. When this happens, go into your Bluetooth menu and turn aptX-HD off.

4. Reconnecting on your Next Use.

Simply turn on all three devices, they should automatically reconnect, no need to go through the pairing process again.

Recently my NB16 headphone's right-hand stereo channel stopped providing sound. Customer service replaced my NB16 quickly. Much appreciated, thank you. During the RMA process, one message had a link to continue shopping which I used. Either directly or indirectly, I was taken to this page URL: https://avantree.com/blog/one-headphone-two-audio-sources-multi-point-connection.html that I'd never seen addressing an issue with NB16 and Oasis B after purchasing them. When I tried explaining this issue, I mostly got nowhere. Frustrated I resolved to use the products knowing that they lacked this desired feature. The page linked in this message convinced me that the feature I desired did exist now. Missing on page as well as in any product descriptions we're which Avantree products have the multi-point connection feature as described on the webpage. I also learned that Avantree has some new products that are available for prepurchase discounts that I'm quite excited about. In fact I'm prepurchasing one today, wired open ear buds. Regarding wireless products what are my option for gaining the multi-point connection functionality?
