Because ever since the first Airpods I was able to jump on any of my devices and change it from Speaker to Airpods and it would instantly switch. I didn't need to unpair or disconnect from one device before it was usable by another like I do with my Sony 1000MX3.

Yep. I had this experience. It was for some reason, REALLY good when AirPods just came out, and seemed to degrade with subsequent macOS updates (In particular, I had more trouble switching between phone and laptop later, but not much trouble between phone and iPad).

I recently got some bone conducting headphones which have the dual bluetooth built in, and that is even more seamless - literally just plays the audio from the active device, though it's not perfectly accurate, and gets really confused by Spotify doing off-device play, but it's clearly nicer than even having to choose the output channel.

Looking forward to trying this out w/ my AirPods though.

They've had this with Beats for a while as well, definitely since before Airpods, it works really well.
