I frequently wear a pair of Bluetooth headphones paired to a computer. If I want to listen to something on my phone I have to re-pair the device to my phone.

Is it possible, through software or hardware, to have both my phone and computer connected in such a way that I can get audio output from either device to my headset simultaneously.

Not sure how it works on Windows, but based on a bit or research, looks like it might. It is possible to connect a phone to the PC using the "Bluetooth Audio Reciever" app on the Microsoft store. Then the phone audio should play on the PC and should play through the headphones connected to the PC. Again, not 100% sure this is a viable solution on Windows, but considering I lucked into this solution on Linux without any effort, there's probably a good chance you can achieve something similar on Windows. Might also depend on your computer's Bluetooth adapter, so ymmv, but may be worth a shot considering the shortcomings of some of the other solutions.

Holy crap, this is working so far. Thank you.
