Part 3: Get iPhone/iPod/iPad Music to Computer via iCloud
Unlike iTunes, iCloud uses an internet connection to save music on iPhone, and transferring music from iPod to computer via iCloud is a bit complicated. First of all, if you want to transfer purchased songs to your computer, iCloud Music Library could handle it easily. However, when it comes to music downloaded over the Internet or third-party music apps, only iCloud backup is available, and you cannot open iCloud backup without third-party tools on the computer.
How to Get Purchased Music from iPod to Computer via iCloud Music Library
Step 1: Turn on your iPhone and open the Settings app from the Home screen. Click on your Apple ID and click Music. Set the iCloud Music Library switch to ON. This will add music to iCloud when your iPhone is online.

Step 2. Turn on your computer, launch the latest version of iTunes, and sign in to the same iCloud account (Forgot your iCloud password?) on iPhone. Then go to iTunes > Preferences on Mac / Edit > Preferences on Windows and check the box next to iCloud Music Library.
Step 3. Finally, click the "OK" button to sync music from iPhone to computer via iCloud Music Library.

What to do: Connect the second pair of Bluetooth headphones manually in the standard way via Settings > Bluetooth.
This works with AirPods, as well as the new Beats wireless headphones that are powered by the H1 chip: Powerbeats Pro, Solo Pro, and so on.
iOS 13 has the ability to share music between two pairs of headphones, which we already talked about. But you can also connect the second one manually, and this method seems to me more intuitive and universal.
