On: AirPods Max

[fuzzylightbulb]

I have a pair of Jabra 65T active earbuds that I bought for $50 and they connect to multiple devices at a time and "just work". If they are connected to my computer and I am watching a video and my phone rings, they switch over without any intervention. At the end of the day when I hop on my Peloton they connect to that without intervention, too.

I am sure the Apple stuff works well too but let's not pretend that they are doing anything unique in this space.

The most popular PC Operating System out there will just steal BT audio connections any time it can.

If your phone to PC handoff works after calls in a way you like, I take it as you just have a use case where bad behavior works in your favor.

After all, what happens if someone wants to continue using their phone audio after the call?

Or use BT with their phone outside of a call?

With most BT devices the problem would be if someone else tried to use your Peloton, it'd steal audio from your PC or phone

But Peloton remembers your previously paired audio devices per user; so if someone else uses the bike and has never explicitly paired that set of headphones, they'll show up as an option, but won't automatically pair
