  Interesting. I wonder what goes wrong for you. I’m always astonished that mine gets it right. I have the occasional mishap but it’s quickly and easily corrected. We have some google nest speakers and wow, they get it wrong so often despite being stationary. They can connect to one person, not another, drop connections, vanish for days until I care to reset them and get them back online. Sometimes the voice changes, haha. Airpods though, I can share them with my family and they work great between each of our devices. It’s one of those things where I consider myself lucky. As a software developer I don’t subscribe to the “no adults in the room” attitude, but I know this stuff is hard. I’d expect more people to have problems.

    Hah, whats funny is my google speakers work 100% of the time. The switching itself technically works. The problem is it needs to be smarter to not switch away when audio is currently in use - especially if the mic is in use. One issue I've seen a few times is if I have something playing on my mac, and a video going on my iPad, they've gotten into a switch loop.

  Same. I found out the hard way that if your mom butt calls you phone they'll switch over even if you're in the middle of a Zoom meeting on the Mac. Using your phone while watching Netflix on the computer also became a minefield.
