Once paired, your earbuds will automatically switch between devices when you receive a call or start playing music on one of the devices.
However, it’s essential to note that not all Beats earbuds models support dual-device pairing. Check your earbuds’ user manual or manufacturer’s website to confirm if this feature is available on your specific model.
