Multipoint pairing
AONIC 50 headphones support Bluetooth multipoint pairing which enables the headphones to be connected to two devices at
the same time. AONIC 50 will remain connected to both devices and receive inputs alternately.

You will not hear a "Connected" prompt but you will see that the headphones are connected to both of the devices.
Use the ShurePlus PLAY app to select how you want the audio to work in multipoint pairing:
Static - Your current audio connection is unaffected if a second audio source begins to play.
Dynamic - Your audio connection switches to the most recently played audio source.
