Can I Have Two Bluetooth Devices Connected to an iPhone at Once?

This connection is a very useful technology that gives you the ability to connect wireless to the device on your iPhone ipad. Whether you need a keyboard to make typing easier, or you want to be able to listen to your music without disturbing people at your office, there are this type of devices to solve your problem.

But what if you want to add your Bluetooth keyboard to your iPhone, then you can type a long email, but you’re already listening to music through your Spotify account?

Fortunately, you can add a keyboard and headphone to your iPhone at the same time, which will allow you to use two Bluetooth devices at the same time.

If you are trying to connect two devices at the same time and have trouble, try connecting them to a different order.

For example, I was having difficulty connecting my headphones and keyboard at the same time but when I added the keyboard first, it was connected to headphones, everything worked properly.

Apple actually tells that Bluetooth devices can support up to 7 devices connected simultaneously, but this is 3 or 4 practical limits.

In my experience with the simultaneous such device testing with the iPhone 5 in iOS 7, I could only output audio in a pair of Bluetooth headphones at the same time.

Both connected at the same time, as in the image below, but the iPhone will only output to a headphone’s Bluetooth audio at the same time.

I thought it could be an issue of Bluetooth audio only, which was able to output audio only to one device, but the same result when a pair of headphones and Bluetooth adapter combinations were connected at the same time.

So it seems that the iPhone can output audio at the same time. The only solution to hearing audio on multiple headphones is to use headphone splitter as if it was a Bluetooth headphone which I was trying to add to the pair, this pair was Sony and Rocketfish.

The Bluetooth keyspace is this model from Logitech.
