That means, as long as you're logged-in to other devices like your Mac or iPad, you can easily switch to using your AirPods for audio. > You don't have to manually re-pair them with each device. Instead, you just need to pop into the Bluetooth settings on each device and choose the AirPods. And the second-generation AirPods do this faster than the first model, allowing you to switch from music on one device to audio on another in less than two seconds.
