Switch Beats between Apple devices
When you’re signed in to the same Apple Account on your Apple devices, your Beats Fit Pro, Powerbeats Fit, and Powerbeats Pro 2 seamlessly connect to whichever device you’re listening to.
For example, if you’re listening to music on your Mac with Beats and you start playing a podcast on your iPhone, your Beats switch to iPhone automatically. Your Beats also switch automatically to iPhone when you make a call.
You can also manually switch Beats to another device.
