Yeah can understand but according to apple they admit there is an issue So will wait and see, I know with my Plantronics devices I can have multiple devices connected at one time and the one I’m active with is the one that is working through the bt headset, I always have a delay when changing devices obviously a delay to figure out which device should be primary at that point in time.

For example, I currently have one iPhone on speakerphone with my partner, whilst my other iPhone is connected to my AirPods and reading my email. If the AirPod was doing it automatically, it should be connecting to my phone call as that is the priority connection.

Only problem with that really is that if I get a phone call and wish to answer it through my watch then the pods don’t get the audio as the phone is on. As for connecting the earpods manually through Bluetooth on a secondary device such as the watch or an iPad, That’s not the way apple have said they should be working, The pods should be connected to all devices signed in with the same iCloud account details. Ok so the pods are seen by each device but they aren’t actually connected until they are manually connected As for removing and resetting up the pods yeah tried it and got the same situation, Can’t say I’m overly impressed thus far. The charge case and the sound quality are great, the size I definitely like but the device syncing is a bit of a failure so far.

Second, once the AirPods are paired with the Apple Device, they are automatically paired to all devices on the account. However, it is necessary to open the device, open bluetooth, and connect to the AirPods to have the AirPods work with that particular device at that time. If only one device, the AirPods are always active with said device save when disconnected. The AirPods must be in the ear in order to be active. I find that this is sometimes a little tricky, especially on the right ear. Occasionally, I put in the left ear, followed by the right ear, and then wait for the right pod to realise it is in the ear and connect. Some people are reporting similar difficulties. The fix is to factory reset the AirPods and start over. As this does not happen to me too often, I have not performed the factory reset yet. Apparently, the base is the primary Bluetooth controller. It creates the initial pairing. Then, each AirPod has the ability to be primary. The first AirPod to be placed in an ear becomes primary and handles the audio signal. If that AirPod is removed, control is passed to the other Pod.

According to apple accessibility when I spoke to them today, The pods should be active always once connected to the primary device in my case my iPhone 7+ The earpods have been found to not be working with the apple watch as they should so apple requested that submitted as a feedback issue via the beta feedback tool So they have noted a problem but it’s still to be worked on. According to the apple data on line you shouldn’t have to tell the pods that you want the audio to play through them it should just happen straight away.

When first received, plug them in to charge. After several hours, open the case whilst near the iPhone and the option pops up to pair. The AirPods fit nicely and stay in my ears. They are slightly smaller than the EarPods. Sometimes, the activation requires placing them in the ear a few times before they activate. The pairing information is transferred across all devices on the account. However, the AirPods must be connected to the desired device through the BlueTooth menu.
