Hello people!
You know my query

How many headphones you have? I have many Bluetooth devices connected to my phone and honestly I don't know if there is a limit. How to connect? You put the Bluetooth device in pairing mode (refer to that device manual) and go to Bluetooth settings on the phone to pair it up.
Once you pair the phone automatically connects to the last connected Bluetooth device from then on. You can also manually connect to thm from the Bluetooth settings.

But, if you mean, how many headphones can you connect and listen through *simultaneously*, then the answer is exactly one.

Only option for simultaneous output would be to add a Bluetooth splitter. But even those will usually handle a maximum of two output devices.

go to settings>connections>bluetooth, hit the 3 dots in the upper right corner and select dual audio. you can pair 2 audio devices at once.

So, I can connect 2 headphones at once. That means if I'm watching a movie, I can share the audio with just one friend.
What's that Bluetooth splitting thing BTW?

correct. bluetooth splitters are basically a device that receives your services bluetooth signal, then splits the signal via headphone jacks.

The S9 has a feature called Dual Audio, which allows 2 BT audio devices to be paired at the same time with audio playing through both.

Go to Settings, Connections, Bluetooth, switch it on if it isn't already, tap the 3 dots on the top right and select the option.

Just want to know, is this dual audio feature is specific to this particular smartphone? Or any smartphone with bt 5 or above have this same feature in common?

As far as I know, it's on the S8, Note8 and S9.

I've owned most every Nexus and Pixel phone, including my current device Pixel 2 XL. None of them have offered dual audio output.

It appears to be a Samsung thing.

Once I read somewhere that in some latest Motorola phones one can connect upto 5 bt headphones. I can be wrong though

That's not simultaneously though. You'll only hear audio out of one of the devices at once.

Oh, I see. Then it's completely a Samsung thing
