You can choose the AirPods from the volume icon on the menu bar, or are you saying the AirPods don’t show up there? I switch between iPhone and Mac audio a few times a day.

They don't show up there. I've deleted them and re-paired, but they never have. I also have Beats with the W1 chip, and they don't show up there either.

I see. I think I would like it if they could play all audio from all devices at once. Similarly, it would be nice to control phone audio with the Mac volume and pause keys while using AirPods. I didn’t expect any of that, though.
