macOS is frustrating with Bluetooth. I use an external USB microphone and would like to lock it. Still, any time I put my AirPods on, it auto connects for both listening and microphone, even though I have a much better quality microphone already selected. So I have to open the Sound settings every single time, which is incredibly frustrating; please just let me prioritize which device I prefer using and stick to that.

IIRC you van disable the auto connect in the settings of the AirPods.

  I want to auto-connect but not change the microphone settings.

    I also see a separate microphone auto connect option?

      Really? I can't find it on macOS.

  That doesn't turn off auto connection of the AirPods' microphone once you connect the AirPods themselves.

  I guess I'm about to pay ten bucks for something Apple should've figured out ten years ago.
