Can you connect more than two pairs of Bluetooth headphones to the same device?

If you are interested in sharing the audio using AirPods or Beats headphones, check this article to see if it helps.

Share audio with AirPods or Beats headphones - Apple Support

While you can connect multiple Bluetooth devices at the same time, the problem comes down to routing the audio to those devices and I believe is only capable with the Apple devices. There may be other audio devices that will share the audio with each other so the sound comes from multiple speakers, but that is a feature in those devices and the iPhone is not routing the audio each devices.

Generally, no.

Bluetooth 5.0 added support for two audio output devices, so any vendor offering that earlier than Bluetooth 5.0, or offering more than two outputs, is doing their own thing.

And not all vendors support either Bluetooth 5.0, or support the Dual Audio output feature of Bluetooth 5.0.

Some speaker vendors reportedly do offer multiple outputs with their apps and their speakers, though.

Conceivably, you could also use analog output and an analog splitter and Bluetooth transmitters, but that all gets clunky.

Can I please get some assistance my iPhone 14 pro max will not turn on plugged in last night. It was charging when plugged in and I woke up a little after 4 AM and acted like it’s completely dead. I’ve been messing with it ever cents trying to get it to turn on, the same block that was charging. It is currently charging my iPad with the same cord attached to that block in the same outlet.

Try this: If your iPhone won't turn on or is frozen - Apple Support

Then contact Apple Support. Use the Support link in the lower left corner of this webpage, and chat or call as available.

If you do want to continue discussing this here, I’d suggest re-posting this as your own thread and with a relevant title, and not here absolutely buried in this already-Apple-recommended-answered Bluetooth thread.

Of course, now that I have written this down, I imagine some overachiever will take the idea and run with it... 😄

Anyway, that was my primary interest in connecting two sets of bluetooth audio devices simultaneously.

Anything?

Okay, these mixed threads get confusing to me (or maybe you switched nicknames?), and my answer (to the original question) is included above.

If the Bluetooth audio devices meet the linked requirements, shared playback is an option. Otherwise, no.
