Surface 4/AirPod Pro 2 usability

[WU27f1xcCs]

Hi,

I have AirPods Pro 2 arriving in less than a week, I’ve never had AirPods before and I’m worried they won’t work for my use case:

• Surface 4, Windows 10 work laptop, do lots of Teams calls during the day
• iPhone 12, like to listen to music in between calls whilst working on other stuff
• iPad Pro 2017, in range when I am at home

My current setup is a Jabra headset which switches seamlessly between my phone and laptop, and prioritises calls when they come in (as long as my iPad isn’t also paired). This is exactly what I want to happen with my AirPods.

I see my coworkers on calls manually switching to get their AirPods going. Will I have that issue here?

First post, sorry if I did it wrong

Late, but welcome to MR!

What's your experience been?
Just trying to find tips on using AirPods Pro across multiple platforms.

AirPods across multiple platforms are terrible. They are just really designed to be used within the Apple ecosystem. Since I use a variety of devices, and my main productivity device is a Surface Pro 8, I decided to get Sony WH1000XM5 over AirPods Max. Multipoint connection just works, whether it is with my Surface Pro 8, my iPhone or my iPad. I had to pair the airpods manually every time I wanted to switch from the a Windows device to an iOS one. I still have a pair of AirPods Pro, but I use that exclusively with my iPhone and Apple Watch, mostly when working out outdoors.
