I have a new iPad 7th generation running Software 13.2.3. I want to pair two new sets of AirPods. I can pair each set, and both show up in my Bluetooth settings. I can select one or the other, but not both.
I read that system 13.2 has that capability. Can anyone show me how to get both to work so that we can both watch and hear the same video together? Thanks.
iPad, iOS 13

Thanks Joseph. I found that the two AirPods that I had purchased had different firmware. I updated the firmware on one of the AirPods, and not they connect as you indicated above. To update the firmware, you need to connect the AirPods by opening the case, leave the AirPods in the case and plug them to power and charge for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, I disconnected the power, disconnected the AirPods, and re-connected them to the iPad. Then the second set "shared" properly.
I was kinda disappointed that the Apple Store sold me two pairs of AirPods that had different firmware. You'd think that you're getting the most current stuff at the Apple Store instead of at a 3rd party reseller.
Really appreciate your help.
Eric
