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.

This might be possible if you can configure your computer as a bluetooth audio sink, link a second device to it, mix the audio, and then connect your headphones to the computer. Never tried or looked into doing this though. It will need some third party software to pull off if you are using Windows, or some manual configuration if you are using Linux.

It won't be convenient, but it can be done.

    Appreciate a response that isn’t immediately throwing ~$300 at the problem. Wasn’t sure if this could be done with software or if there was some kind of DJ/musician hardware that would work. Will look into this more.
