Bluetooth 5 is not only faster, it does potentially offer the possibility of multi audio streaming. Newer Apple iPhone devices have Bluetooth 5 capabilities, which offers some potentially exciting changes in the future as more devices are supported. While you can have all of these simultaneous connections for many devices that have Bluetooth, you may experience problems if you have more than one device at a time that is of the same type. A common example of this would be if you have an iPhone, such as the iPhone 8, and you have an Apple Watch, a Bluetooth audio device like the Apple Airpods and something else like a Bluetooth keyboard.

You could also use a Bluetooth headphone splitter like this Kokkia branded one from Amazon (if you have an iPhone with a 30-pin connector), or this other Kokkia model on Amazon that connects to the 3.5mm jack on your iPhone, for iPhone models without a 30-pin connection. The only solution to listen to audio on multiple headphones would be to use a headphone splitter, like this one on Amazon.
