Connecting surface earbuds to two devices

Is it possible, if using an android phone and a surface book to connect the earbuds similitaniously to each of those devices?

Having the surface audio app installed on both devices, it's still hard to quickly change audio between the phone and the laptop.

    Hi,

    oh man. I ordered the Surface Earbuds just a few days ago and now becoming aware of problems I hoped to solve with this new device. Not being able to switch between multiple devices is really a pain and it is a tie breaker for me as well. I actually don't need it to be have multiple established connections at the same time but it needs to be easy to tell it to connect to a different device easily. Like a gesture which iterates through all paired devices in order to try to establish a connection.

    I really hope that this gets introduced before I receive my devices.

    Take care!

    Alex

    Being connected to only one device at a time is a real limiting factor and a deal-breaker. My 3-year-old Surface headphones do not have this limitation. Hard to believe the Surface Earbuds do.

    I agree. Most other bluetooth devices are connected to two devices and autmatically switch to the active one.

    It seems that yet again Microsoft releases a poorly tested half baked product.
