You can create Aggregate Device to increase the number audio inputs and outputs available at the same time. You can also use an Aggregate Device if your application doesn't support separate input and output devices.
With Logic Pro, GarageBand, and MainStage, you can use a separate device for input and output. For example, you can use a USB microphone for input and the headphone jack of your Mac for output. Some applications not manufactured by Apple don't support separate input and output devices.
Set up an Aggregate Device
When you create an Aggregate Device, make sure to connect all external audio interfaces first.
- From the Finder, choose Go > Utilities. Open the Audio MIDI Setup application.
- Click the Add (+) button on the bottom-left corner in the Audio Devices window and chose Create Aggregate Device.
- A new Aggregate Device appears in the list on the left side of the window. To rename the device, double-click it.
- With the new Aggregate Device selected, enable the checkbox labeled 'Use' on the left side of the Audio Devices window. Do this for each device you want to include in the Aggregate Device. The order in which you check the boxes determines the order of the inputs and outputs in applications like Logic Pro and MainStage. For example, the first box you checked will be inputs one and two, the second box checked will be three and four, and so on.The list on the right shows the currently connected audio devices and the number of input and output channels for each one.
- To use the clock of a device as the master clock for all the combined devices, choose the device from the Clock Source menu of the Aggregate Device. Choose the device with the most reliable clock.
- If your audio devices all work with word clock, connect them together using a word clock cable. Connect the cable from the device you designated as Clock Source to the input of each other device. Refer to your audio device product documentation for specific details.
- If any of your devices don't work with word clock, select the Drift Correction checkbox for any devices not designated clock master.
Use an Aggregate Device with Apple music creation software
- Open your application.
- Do the following depending on the application you're using:
- For Logic Pro, choose Logic Pro > Preferences > Audio, then select Devices.
- For GarageBand, choose GarageBand > Preferences > Audio.
- For MainStage, choose MainStage > Preferences > Audio.
- Choose the Aggregate Device from the Output Device pop-up menu. Logic Pro and GarageBand automatically set the Input Device to the match the selected output device, which you can change if you want to use a different input device. In MainStage, you must manually select the input device.
- In Logic Pro and MainStage, click Apply Changes.
GarageBand automatically switches to the new input device.
Use the Aggregate Device as the sound output of your Mac
When you set the Aggregate Device as the sound output for your Mac, sounds from other apps on your Mac play through the Aggregate Device. The Aggregate Device also becomes the System Setting option in the Output and Input Device menus of your Apple music creation apps.
- From the Finder, choose Go > Utilities. Open Audio MIDI Setup.
- Control-click the Aggregate Device in the left column, then choose 'Use this device for sound output' or 'Use this device for sound input.'

Like: Sound good, decent battery life, removable audio lead
Would like: Easier Bluetooth set up
I am a fan of Philips products in general and this purchase was to replace my previous set of Philips over-ear headphones due to my dog eating through the audio cable. Specifically I was looking for headphones for iPad Pro so I could compose my symphonies in GarageBand without bothering the rest of the house. Because the dog incident is likely to happen again at some point in the future I thought it best to go for a set of headphones with a removable and therefore replaceable audio lead.
This ‘removable lead’ feature limited my choices somewhat, which is good because there are about a million different sets of headphones on the market.
The Philips SHB7000/00 Bluetooth Stereo Headphones jumped out at me initially because of their styling. The red and black go perfectly with my MAGMA iPad Pro case and so look cool when they are hanging over the screen.

I am not an audiophile, but these headphones sound great and a lot better than my Samsung in-ear headphones or my computer monitor speakers. They have 40-mm neodymium drivers and on wearing you will experience what I would describe as a multi-directional surround sound experience with clear treble and enough bass for your music, movie and gaming needs. I also find them perfectly fine for home studio use and when using the Korg module or iGrand Piano apps the instruments sound awesome through these headphones.
They are reasonably comfortable to use. A few hours is fine and the level of comfort also depends on the individual wearer and external environment. I find my ears get hot wearing them for too long and this timeframe obviously shortens when it is an already hot day.

The headphones are advertised as having noise isolation, but in my experience this is more about keeping music in so as not to annoy those close by with your choice of music. These headphones do not keep external sound out, which I prefer as it is good to be able to hear that truck driving coming round the corner towards you.

In terms of connection you can use Bluetooth or the included audio lead with 3.5mm jack. I find the Bluetooth to be great when it works and I have listened to a full Joe Rogan Experience Podcast which is about two and a half to 3 hours while out painting the decking in my garden. I reckon I was moving between 10ft to 30ft from the iPad Pro with it in the house and me on the other side of a wall in the garden moving around constantly and the sound quality was clear throughout with a strong signal. The only issue I had with the Bluetooth was the connection which I find to at times work straight away and other times to be a bit difficult so a simplified way to pair the devices would be preferred.

Overall I have found these to be a versatile and excellent value for money set of headphones with great features styling.
