How to connect two AirPods to one MacBook

  • Pair both Airpods to the computer. You need to be able to select them separately as Outputs in System Preferences -> Sound -> Output (Set the output volume for each Airpod now as you can't set it once you select the combined device. You can always switch back to the individual ones and change their volume before going back to the combined one)
  • Open Audio MIDI Setup in Applications/Utilities
  • Click the + at the bottom left and select Create Multi-Output Device
  • Check the boxes next to both Airpods (or any other 2+ output devices)
  • (Optional) Rename the output by clicking on the name Multi-Output Device in the list
  • Select the new device you created from the volume menu or from the Sound System Preferences.
  • Enjoy sharing audio with your friend.
