I have seven devices that I use my AirPods with - an iPhone, iPad, Watch, computer, and two AppleTVs. Once I paired them with one device, they are automatically paired with every device connected to my AppleID. They switch seamlessly without me having to do a thing.

I also don’t have to decipher beeps to change settings. I can change anything about them visually from any of my devices.

It's not like other bluetooth headphones can do this. My Jabra Elite won't work with their own app half the time on devices that are officially supported!

Cool beans. the one I linked sure as fuck does, though.

Of course they can't do the same auto connection, but in my experience airpods work at least as well with non-apple devices as any other Bluetooth headphones.

Ding ding ding... Of course they do - and that's my point.

They're moderately nice on apple if you're entirely on that ecosystem, and utterly the same on everything else (frankly - I think they're actually much worse than some of the nicer headphones you can get, but that's not bluetooth related at all).

Good to know we agree.

You mean you can pair to one of your devices and it will automatically show up and paid to every other device you possess without having to do anything?

Yes, because amazingly enough, neither Linux or Pinephone are great user experiences in an of themselves.

A garden is usually a nice place where things are nicely pruned and organized. Unlike going out into the wilderness like our forefathers scavenging…

I'm no longer sure what you're talking about. I am responding to this point:

> "Unfortunately every other Bluetooth headphones suck when it comes to connectivity and stable playing."

and it's complete rubbish. The vast majority of high end bluetooth headsets work just fine (some are even FAR better in terms of battery life, comfort, and range - with no stability issues at all)

I'm glad you get a slightly improved experience when you stay in your walled garden, but that has zilch to do with my point - I'm not in that garden.

So your response of "Well it works ok if you [do this thing you're not doing]" is mostly a tangent that's not relevant.
