Hi Johnathan, thanks for the super quick response!
Possibly my question was not clear enough.
Can I connect two Bluetooth headsets at once such as the Plantronics Backbeat Fit 2100 Wireless Headphones (Bluetooth 5.0)?
OR
Must I use only Apple AirPods? Do Apple AirPods Generation 1 work?
The reason for the question is I have pre-ordered the Apple TV 4K 64GB (2021). I already own Apple Generation 1 AirPods (love them!). With CDC guidelines opening up, I want to invite a friend over to watch TV using my new Apple TV 4K and he does not own AirPods. He does, however, own the newest version of the Plantronics Backbeat Fit 2100 Wireless Headphones (Bluetooth 5.0). Will the Plantronics Backbeat Fit 2100 work with my new Apple TV?
Thanks in advance for your help!
The answer, above, does not solve my problem: 1. No headphones are shown when I select the Audio Controls button, and; 2. under Bluetooth devices, it will show both pairs of AirPod Pros as connected but the audio will only play through one set of the AirPod Pros. My Apple TV is Model A1842 and AirPod Pros were purchased December 2020. I have a Sony Bravia 4K 2015.
Hi Vincent, thanks so much for your reply.
Rather than worry too much about the compatibility issue with the Plantronics BlueTooth 5.0 headset(s), I'll just call Apple Support when I have the hardware in my hand.
If someone does know the answer, I would love to hear from them.
Again, thank for your reply!👍
