Are you using AirPods? I think that is the only Bluetooth accessory that I’ve never had connection problems with.

I got the AirPods a few weeks ago. I'm still amazed that Apple managed to make me hate bluetooth less than I did previously (coming from a Samsung phone + Galaxy Buds). They really managed to make the everyday bluetooth experience seamless. However, whenever I did encounter those rare issues, troubleshooting AirPods was infinitely more cumbersome than with 'regular' bt headphones.

Airpods are great the only thing I hate is Apple syncs bluetooth settings to all devices using the same iCloud account with seemingly no way to disable it.

I never use my airpods max with my iPhone. Likewise I never use my regular airpods with my macbook. But whenever I put them on, no matter what options I check like "pair with last device", it pairs with the wrong device. I have removed the airpods max from my iPhone but Apple will just add it back.

Things like this are why I don't want to use apple's account services at all.

GP specifically said ‘non apple’, so not AirPods.
