      You still need the phone to transmit Bluetooth audio from. It’s not like wired headphones, or even wireless headphones, play music on their own.

      Yes, there are exceptions. Yes, I am salty about the lack of headphone jacks .

    Gross. Does it still track bluetooth if the phone is already paired with a headset and not actively searching for new connections? Guess I’ll be back to wired headphones if that’s the case.

        The issue aren’t necessarly phones. Some/most can randomize their MAC. The issue are the gadgets: watches, earbuds, etc. Can’t turn off BT there.
