MacOS

Last year I learned how to use two headphones with a Mac, which is a great feature to use when travelling. Basically, we can watch movies in Apple TV on one computer. Since our travel last year, my partner has switched from their Sony over the ear headphones (with built-in amplifier) to Airpods Pro (no built-in amplifier). That gave us some challenges, as they could not really hear what was going on, and couldn’t turn the volume up due to those headphones not having volume controls or amplifier. My Sony headphones do not have those challenges, so I was fine with the Multi-output audio. ...

My partner and I travelled back to Berlin from Las Palmas on a flight on Saturday. Since it was not a long haul flight, there would be no in-flight entertainment. We wanted to wanted to watch series and movies together using my computer, while both using noise cancelling headphones. This turned out to be surprisingly easy to do. I’ll be sure to do this for our journey, which I hope to make by train. That would make watching a couple of lectures or interesting talks from conferences quite enjoyable. ...
