> the Airpods are miles better than any bluetooth earphones I've ever used when it comes to switching sources

I think this just depends on Bluetooth version. My current FreeBuds 4 switch between devices seamlessly, no manual switching needed.

With my old headphones I head to switch manually, but it wasn't that much of a bother with a switching widget on the main screen (instead going deep into the settings).



Nice. What bluetooth version gets you the easy switching?


Found some info here: https://soundguys.com/bluetooth-multipoint-explained-28601/

Apparently it's in Bluetooth 4.0 which is more than 10 years old. But various devices support this to various degrees.


None of my bluetooth 4 things do a good job with that. Even the nice Sony and Samsung stuff. I don't doubt that some others work well, though.
