Yes, multipoint Bluetooth works great on the Sony WH-1000XM6. You can connect to your laptop and phone at the same time, and the headphones handle switching between them automatically.

The real-world use case:

You're working from home, listening to music from your laptop. Your phone rings. The music pauses, the call routes to your headphones. You answer, talk, hang up, and the music resumes. You didn't touch anything. It just works.

Setting it up:

Multipoint is enabled by default, so you mostly just need to pair both devices:

1. Pair with your first device normally
2. Hold the Bluetooth button for 5 seconds to enter pairing mode
3. Pair with your second device
4. Done. Both stay connected.

To verify, open the Sony Sound Connect app > Device Settings > System and look for "Connect to 2 devices simultaneously."

What you can't do:

Play audio from both devices at the same time. Only one audio stream is active. Having both connected just makes switching seamless.

Sound quality note:

LDAC (Sony's high-resolution codec) doesn't work in multipoint mode. Both connections drop to AAC or SBC. For most people, the convenience of multipoint is worth this minor trade-off.

Device memory:

The headphones remember up to 8 paired devices, but only 2 can be connected simultaneously. If you connect a third, the oldest connection gets dropped.
