FWIW I have the Bose NC 700 and the Bluetooth pairing is seamless. I can be paired to multiple devices at once; if I’m playing music from my laptop but receive a call from my phone then the Bose are smart enough to pause music on my laptop and switch the audio input to my phone.
Bose appear to has their stuff together when it comes with multi-device pairing. I can pair both my Soundsports and QC35 headphones with multiple devices at the same time.
When choosing between QC35 and Sony's noise cancelling cans, Bose was a clear winner due to that fact alone.
Most Bluetooth headphones work this way. Jaybirds also have seamless syncing, and the X4 has full multi-device coverage like you describe of your Bose.
Came here to say the exact same thing. I love my Bose NC700s... My only complain is that they are a bit heavy...
I have sony XM2's and I just disconnect one and connect the other. Not 100% seamless, but certainly no repairing.

I have the same issue with my Sony's. Definitely a pain in the ass, especially when my mac is folded up and sleeping in my backpack and the headphones still connect to it.
I have the Sony 1000XM2 headphones. They are fantastic at noise cancellation and audio quality, but I feel your pain with the bluetooth pairing woes.
Whenever switching between my mac, PC, or phone, I have to repair the headphones. Very annoying.
The sound would have to be in the same ballpark though, which is hardly a guarantee given my experience with IEMs in the past.
