Lenovo Headphone YOGA PC Edition: Triple-Tap Bluetooth Switching, Setup and Battery Reality

What the review says​

The reviewer says the headphones can switch between two devices, including across platforms, with a triple tap on the right cup's touch area, and that it works well. His complaint about the usual experience is that switching between Bluetooth devices normally means disconnecting from one device in settings before connecting to another.

He tested this in two setups:

• A Windows laptop and a Mac laptop used side by side.
• An iPhone and an Android phone, which he says switched the same way.

Those combinations are his own testing. Lenovo's listed support for Windows 10, Windows 11, Android and iOS shows the platforms are supported. It does not independently confirm his exact results.

How to set it up, per the reviewer​

The review describes this workflow:

1. Install Lenovo Accessory and Display Manager. The reviewer says it is available for both Windows and Mac.
2. Pair the headphones with both devices.
3. Open Device Settings in the app. The reviewer says this is where you enable the triple-click-to-switch gesture.
4. Turn on the multipoint connection, which lets the headphones stay connected to two devices at once.
5. Triple-tap the right earcup to move audio between the two devices.

The review does not say the gesture works out of the box, and I can't confirm that it does. Don't assume it is on by default. The same app handles the sleep timer, touch-panel disabling, ANC level and firmware updates, according to the review.

The reviewer leaves multipoint off in daily use. His reason is that it can cause interference if you're listening on one device and hear system sounds from another. That is a personal workaround, not a documented limit. It is still worth knowing if your Windows PC likes to ping notifications while your phone is playing music.

What the manufacturer and retailer listings add​

Retailer listings that reproduce Lenovo's specifications agree on the feature. A Newegg listing says the headphones support two paired devices, and a triple-tap on the earcup moves from phone calls to laptop video. Amazon's listing says Bluetooth 5.3 supports simultaneous connection to two devices and stores up to eight paired devices. That is a seller listing, not an independent test. The two-active, eight-remembered split is a useful distinction for anyone planning to juggle a laptop, tablet and phone.

The basic hardware is consistent across sources. Newegg's listing gives Bluetooth 5.3 plus 3.5 mm wired connectivity and five omnidirectional microphones, 40 mm drivers, touch controls and a travel pouch.

Battery: the review's 38 hours needs a footnote​

The review's spec card says 38 hours. Its prose ties that figure to high ANC, and its comparison table separately lists "~28 hrs with ANC on." Lenovo's own specification, as repeated by Newegg, is more specific: up to 38 hours with low noise cancellation, or up to 28 hours with high noise cancellation. The Gadgeteer reports the same split from a 640 mAh cell.

Use 28 hours as the realistic figure for high ANC. The reviewer's anecdote is that he got almost a week of daily use with ANC on, but he doesn't say how long each day was. The review also says ANC defaults to High, so out-of-the-box runtime should be closer to the lower number.

The price discrepancy​

The review lists $249.99 and calls the headphones the best value against Bose, Sony and Apple. Other coverage reports a lower launch price:

• SoundGuys says the headphones launched in the US at $199, following a CES 2026 debut.
• The Gadgeteer lists $199.99 at Lenovo US.

I can't tell from these sources which price is current today. It may be a list price versus a promotional price, or a change since launch. Check Lenovo's store before buying. The review's competitor prices ($449 to $549) are the reviewer's figures and I haven't corroborated them.

Why Windows users might care​

Lenovo positions these as laptop headphones. SoundGuys says they are designed to be used with Lenovo's Yoga laptops, but will work with just about any Bluetooth device. SoundGuys also reports a wired monitoring mode with a neutral sound profile, aimed at editing and production work. It's a useful option, though neither source tests it.

The practical case is a Windows PC plus a phone. A triple tap that hands audio between them is more useful than any single spec on the sheet. Lenovo isn't the first to offer device switching, and the review's description of multipoint as "an open protocol" is the reviewer's own framing. Treat it with some care.

Caveats​

• The reviewer says Lenovo supplied the review unit and had no input. That is the publication's disclosure, and I haven't audited it.
• Comfort, ANC strength, call quality, scuffing and button feel are all subjective. ANC is described as very good but behind his AirPods Max.
• He reports no public IP rating and mostly plastic construction. Neither is a durability test.
• Nothing in the sources shows seamless automatic handoff or simultaneous playback. This is a manual tap-to-switch feature.

Bottom line​

The best-supported claim is narrow but real. Lenovo advertises a triple-tap switch between two paired devices. Retailer listings echo it, and the MakeUseOf reviewer says it worked across Windows, macOS, iOS and Android. Verify the price, and plan around 28 hours of high-ANC battery life rather than the headline 38. Also remember that, per the review, you must enable the gesture in the companion app.
