Is it possible to combine Bluetooth audio connections to one headset? (reddthat.com)

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.

I use these:

TECNO B1 Bluetooth Headphones https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08X2JSMHZ

And they will reliably pair to two devices, including some combination of my laptop, phone, and TV. My only complaint is that sometimes when they are paired to my PC, they won't turn off until I unpair them.

They are pretty awkward with the neck weights, but the battery life is fantastic. They appear to have the same software in them as my older ones that were sold under the brand TaoTronics, which was banned from Amazon for something.

If you find something, please post back, I'd love to find a less awkward pair of headphones that does this.
