Exactly. I routinely switch my headset from my laptop to my phone and vice versa. Doing this with a jack is trivial. Doing this with a BlueTooth headset is very annoying and requires additional steps on both devices.

Bose BT headphones have two inputs. I usually have my phone and laptop connected. It has some priority sorting order which seems to work well.
Yes, Bose QC BT headphones are good.
So now you need $300 headphones to solve a problem that didn't exist in the first place.
And 2 inputs are good but it's clearly a pain once you want to connect more devices, say a laptop, phone, ipad, TV...
Anecdotally, my experience with Bluetooth headphones is that they’re easier. I don’t have to do anything more complicated than you do — if I turn on my Bluetooth headphones in range of my computer, they connect. If I turn them on in range of my iPhone or iPad, they connect.
If any of them start playing sound, it comes out the headphones. No cable twiddling required.
And if they're currently connected to your phone and you want to connect to your computer?
