This made it impossible to do without a special Lightning splitter.
These days, it’s all about Bluetooth and should be easy.
Except, it’s not.
However, there is a clever way you can share audio from an iPhone to two sets of headphones.
It’s all thanks to a feature called Share Audio.
But the trick comes with an important catch.
It only works with headphones that have Apple’s H1 or W1 chip inside it.
This leaves you with Apple AirPods or the latest Beats.

If you have either of those, you’re in luck.
As TikToker Tech Hack Guy demonstrates, it’s very simple to do.
Once the first pair is connected, tap on the AirPlay icon on your iPhone.
You’ll see a button that says Share Audio.
When the second pair of headphones are out and available, they should appear on screen.
Tap them.
Then tick from the list and you’ll finally be connected to your iPhone to listen to music at the same time.
