Your comment is funny to me because I have a pair of WH-1000XM3 and the one feature I'm missing the most is Bluetooth multi-point pairing. It's super easy to switch devices with the Bose (even though yeah, it can be finicky) meaning you don't have to re-pair your devices every time you want to listen to music on your phone, use them for a Slack call or for a TV show.

Re-pairing takes likes 2 seconds though when it works well, like with the airpods. It's just as fast as multi-point pairing without the downsides.

How? I always have to press the power button for like 8 seconds to re-enter pairing mode, otherwise my second device complains about an error :(
