Only one? BT in my car: Spotify on the phone starts to auto-play as soon as it connects. Because car = music, apparently. I still haven't been able to figure out if this is Spotify, Android or Mercedes being dumb. Similar to your issue, my laptop and I are often exactly far enough apart that my Bose headphones start an infinite connect/disconnect cycle, with a tediously long "Connected to laptop" message every 30 seconds. For that scenario, it would have been enough if it just stopped trying after a few short connections. My conclusion is that we've had wireless devices for >20 years, but have barely scratched the surface of the implications in terms of UX.

Some automatically send the "play/resume" control signal whenever they start up, which causes Android to resume playing on the most recently active audio app. No idea who thought that that was a reasonable default... > Similar to your issue, my laptop and I are often exactly far enough apart that my Bose headphones start an infinite connect/disconnect cycle, with a tediously long "Connected to laptop" message every 30 seconds.

It's not a real solution in any way, but if you're usually confident what device you're connected to, you can disable voice output via the Bose Connect app.
