    There are so many open devices in my apartment building, but none of my neighbors are a problem so I don’t have the impetus to really explore my options. It’s a shame.

    You just have to set the bar lower. Did somebody not wish you a lovely day as you pass them in the corridor?
    Time to break into their house while they're away and wire up an air horn their toilet lid.

    Bunch of media apps and whatnot have a share feature to allow someone to listen to what you're listening to from their own device, but a few of them are advertising it with people physically hanging out together using it. Man, if they are ij the same room and have their own headphones, they can just connect their headphones to my phone and we both listen to the song at the same time from the same player. AFAIK, there's not really a limit to how many devices you can connect via bluetooth. I know you can get at least 3 headphone sets going on mine before it starts to lag a bit.

    The reason it exists primarily is so that music venues and museums and such can provide broadcast audio for accessibility and just in general without requiring people to use their janky headsets from the 80s. Once it exists and is actually in the hardware for the Bluetooth chips, the work to plug together a UI for it is relatively small for what looks like a big feature.

    It also has some pretty good power savings over actually pairing a device, since neither device is looking for return communication to any significant degree, and it's geared for not giving the headphones device control in the way that a paired device gets.

    Overall it's a good innovation, but not the most clear to market how you'll use it every day.

    It is also a feature that should have come with the first version of bluetooth. Two devices listening at the same time is a no brainer.

    Well, there was nothing stopping anything from doing it before, they just didn't know there was a desire for broadcast, or for the broadcaster to be uninterested in the connection of the listener.
    A lot of the protocol is about making sure that things are authenticated and private. You don't want a second set of headphones connecting without your knowledge usually.
    This also lets you broadcast audio encrypted, without drowning out other radios, and keeps the listener from being able to do normal pairing tasks like "download contacts".

    It's obvious now, but that's only after years of everyone walking around with small radio linked ear pieces.

    Rookie mistake. Eyeryone knows you're supposed to play Pepper Coyote's Blast Radius when you have this opportunity.

    Best to use this power for good:

    Play "Indian Love Call" and find out how many Martians were on the train.
