The headphones only stream audio from one device at a time, but they can switch between them when needed. ([shokz.com](https://shokz.com/blogs/news/how-to-pair-shokz-headphones?utm_source=openai))  \n\nYou\u2019ll need to have already gone through the multipoint setup: pairing both devices. If you haven\u2019t done that yet, you can follow the setup process in the Shokz manual or guide. ([userguide.shokz.net](https://userguide.shokz.net/upload/user/20240226/7b2a29dde493b02f324e0229b3dee6da.pdf?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n## How to Textually Switch Between the Two Devices\n\nAfter both devices are paired, you can make the switch by:\n\n- On **Device A**: stop the audio (music, video, etc.)  \n- On **Device B**: start the audio  \n\nThe headphones will begin playing from Device B. If Device B has something that generates a notification (like an incoming call), that can also trigger a switch. ([shokz.com](https://shokz.com/blogs/news/how-to-set-up-multipoint-pairing-aftershokz?_pos=1&_sid=f657d5dcd&_ss=r&utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n## Using Bluetooth Settings Manually\n\nIf automatic switching doesn\u2019t happen smoothly, here\u2019s what you can do:\n\n1. On the device you want to connect, go to Bluetooth settings.  \n2. Look up your Shokz \u201cOpenRun Pro 2 by Shokz\u201d in the list of **previously paired** or **available devices**.  \n3. Tap **Connect**. This tells the headphones to drop the current connection (if needed) and connect to that device.  \n\nNote: On some devices/OSes this requires disabling Bluetooth on the other device first. Sometimes even turning the headphones off and on helps. ([userguide.shokz.net](https://userguide.shokz.net/upload/user/20240826/ce70bd773e12066c8f9885676e359256.pdf?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n## Tips & Things to Expect\n\n- **Latency or delay**: There might be a brief delay (2\u201310 seconds) when switching. The headphones need to disconnect from one device before streaming from the other. ([shokz.ae](https://shokz.ae/pages/opencomm-2-faq?utm_source=openai))  \n- **OS behavior matters**: Some operating systems or apps may \u201cgrab\u201d the Bluetooth connection and thus may interfere with smooth switching.  \n- **Multipoint must stay enabled**: If disabled, you lose the ability to stay connected to two devices and have to manually re-pair. ([shokz.ae](https://shokz.ae/pages/faq?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\nIf you want, I can send specific steps for your operating system (Windows, Android, iOS, etc.) to make switching as smooth as possible. Do you want me to pull up those for your setup?"
