I had to either open up the mobile app, wait for it to do its stuff and force a disconnect with the laptop OR get up, walk to the laptop, open it, turn off BT and close it again.
Ordered AirPods Max and I've had pretty much zero issues since.
I can walk from my computer to the TV and Apple TV will prompt me to connect to it with one button. I can grab my phone, walk away and the headphones will move to the phone automatically. Magic.
After literally minutes of use, the thought to return them evaporated just as quickly.
Pretty much all because of the seamless connection.
To be fair to the Sennheisers, they are durable: they survived contact with a wall at least twice.
Well, duh!

My Sony xm3 kept connecting to the laptop in my backpack - which was asleep - when I was getting on my bike.
I had to unpair my phone and re-pair it to force it to "own" the headphones. It was such a pita.
That really was the biggest value add of the Apple headphones, and it works absolutely great. It almost (a 99.5%+ kind of almost) always connects to the device I want it to connect to, right away.
It's a pity though that they have the common issues of Bluetooth, and turning on the microphone immediately kills the sound quality... It's one of the cases where I'd appreciate them just using a proprietary protocol. The headphones basically only work well with Apple devices anyway.
