My airpod can switch from iPhone 13 and iPad air 5 to MacBook air m1 (those 2 devices can switch airpod seamlessly between them)

Hey pasin273,


We'd recommend reviewing the information in this article as it provides options for switching your AirPods between devices: Switch your AirPods to another device - Apple Support


"Switch automatically

AirPods are connected to your iPhone and Apple Watch at the same time. Sound switches between them automatically.

To switch between devices automatically1 with your AirPods (2nd or 3rd generation), AirPods Pro (1st or 2nd generation), or AirPods Max:

  1. Make sure that you have an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with the latest version of iOS or iPadOS, a Mac with the latest version of macOS, or an Apple TV with the latest version of tvOS
  2. Sign in with the same Apple ID using two-factor authentication

If you're signed in with the same Apple ID on your devices, your AirPods will switch automatically from listening to music on your iPad to answering a phone call on your iPhone, for example.

In some situations with macOS Big Sur or later, you'll see a notification about your AirPods on the screen of your Mac. Click Connect to confirm that you want your AirPods to switch to your Mac or stay with your Mac."


Thanks!

Disabling Bluetooth:

If you have no other Bluetooth device around, then disable bluetooth on the device you do not want these to sync with.
