Business environments of all types thrive on multitasking. This is where Bluetooth® multipoint shines by offering multiple connection points. Using Bluetooth® multipoint, you can use multiple devices at once through the same headset, helping you keep on top of things at all times.
However, you might not be familiar with this feature and how it works. In this article, we'll dive into what Bluetooth® multipoint or Bluetooth® multipoint is. We'll also explore its benefits and how you can implement it in the office or with a hybrid work setup.
What Is Bluetooth® Multipoint?
Bluetooth® multipoint, also known as Bluetooth® multipoint, is a surprisingly overlooked feature. It allows Bluetooth® users to connect multiple devices to a single headset or pair of earbuds. While this feature is over a decade old and started with Bluetooth® 4.0, many people don't even know what it is or how it can help with multitasking, especially when pairing it with the latest Bluetooth® headsets and other devices.
For multipoint pairing with PC and mobile phones, devices must be able to support the right Bluetooth® profiles. These profiles define how each device connects. Specifically, multipoint connection earbuds, headsets, and headphones must support a combination of the Hands-Free Profile (HFP) or Headset Profile (HSP) for phone calls and the Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP) for streaming.
Business and hybrid work environments often use Bluetooth® multipoint to allow employees and employers to manage all methods of communication effectively. For example, an employee working remotely might use multipoint Bluetooth® earbuds on the go to track any notifications from their laptop and phone at the same time.
It's a potentially invaluable feature that you can get the most from with the right device.
How Does Bluetooth® Multipoint Work?
Bluetooth® multipoint works in a few different ways.
First, multipoint-connected devices connect with two audio "sources," which could be phones, laptops, or other devices. Multipoint then prioritizes the most important audio sources over others. For example, incoming calls typically block out all other sounds to get the listener's attention. Alarms and notifications can then overlay other media, such as music or audio from video streams.
Also, there are three main types of multipoint: simple, triple, and advanced. Simple connects two sources to a single headphone or another listening device, while triple allows for three-device connectivity. Advanced multipoint enables users to take two calls at once, placing one on hold and allowing the user to switch between them.
What Makes Bluetooth® Multipoint Better Than Standard Connections?
There are several key advantages of using Bluetooth® multipoint instead of standard Bluetooth®, especially in the workplace.
Some benefits include:
Convenient Device Switching
Multipoint earbuds and other compatible headsets or headphones enable you to easily switch between devices without needing to disconnect and then reconnect. For instance, when engaged in video conferencing, remote employees could use their Bluetooth® headsets to listen in and participate through their laptops on Zoom while also listening for any notifications from their phones. As a result, the user can easily switch over if they need to leave the meeting and take a call.
Increased Productivity
Another advantage of multipoint Bluetooth® is the ability to boost productivity. Employees and employers alike can remain connected to all relevant work devices and act as needed. They can continue monitoring for notifications and calls at all times. For instance, an employee might listen to a podcast on one device while listening for phone alerts, allowing for more efficient multitasking.
Improved Call Management
Certain devices may allow you to take another call while putting another on hold, seamlessly switching between both calls. This setup is particularly ideal for people who need to manage calls efficiently across multiple phones throughout the day.
These benefits make Bluetooth® multipoint connection headphones and other devices outstanding for facilitating a productive, efficient, and comfortable work environment for everyone involved.
Choose the Right Bluetooth® Devices to Get the Most From Bluetooth® Multipoint
While many devices support Bluetooth® multipoint, it's best to get devices that allow for truly effective use of this feature. The following are some device types that could work with Bluetooth® multipoint:
Multipoint Earbuds
Today, many people choose earbuds for their size and overall convenience, whether they're at work or on the go. High-quality earbuds, such as our Poly Voyager Free 60 Series, can give you a fully immersive listening experience while supporting connectivity across multiple devices. Not only should your earbuds work simultaneously with two or more devices, but they should also incorporate features like adaptive active noise cancelation (ANC) and AI and machine learning to proactively maintain a crisp and clear sound.
Headsets
When you need a more comprehensive noise cancelation solution to pair with multiple devices, you may also opt for multipoint connection headsets that boost comfort while even more effectively isolating sound. The right headsets can allow for even more control over your listening experience and calls through intuitive touch controls. Also, consider an option with Acoustic Fence technology that will enable you to isolate your voice wherever you are, blocking out all surrounding noise within a specific range.
Bluetooth® Speakerphones
Another device you might use for multipoint connectivity is a Bluetooth® speakerphone. A good speakerphone will allow you to connect to multiple devices, enabling you to switch quickly between them as needed. Additionally, you might want a lightweight option that makes moving the device from space to space easy, especially if workspaces and conference rooms are likely to shift around.
A high-quality option will help you manage two or more devices with a strong Bluetooth® multipoint connection. The right device will depend on your work setup and the features you need for a productive workspace.
