I hope the pairing experiences we will commonly have will be much improved, because just about every time I use Bluetooth to pair anything I have to go through a struggle.

- novok 7y agoAirpods still have annoyances for me at times. Sometimes doesn't connect, sometimes connects. Sometimes won't disconnect from another device. It's a bit better than a standard bluetooth device, but still not great. My impression of airpods is they added on demand 'connect to me' and always on device listing to the bluetooth protocol. I think a way to solve the 'which device to connect to' conundrum is to make NFC re-association a standard thing with bluetooth devices. So instead of screwing around with software menus, you would bash your 2 devices together and have them (re)connect within 200ms. The nintendo switch kind of gives this to you with their joycons. Slide the joycon in and it's associated & connected with that switch, no software fuckery required. It's a lot nicer than many other BT experiences for me. Wifi on the other hand, has been fairly good since day 1.
