> Is this device able to wake this Mac from sleep? Do you mean my app? It doesn't change the wakeup behavior. For my Mac that means it'll wake up when I turn on my bluetooth headphones.

> If both these headphones are connected, what heuristic should be used to select the input/output? My app remember your choice for a given group of connected devices. That means that, if you haven't chosen anything, the default behavior will take place. If you select one of them, it will remember the choice and auto-switch to that one when the same group of devices is connected. I hope it makes sense.

It does. I was just venting what I think should be built-in functionality and the void third party apps should try to fill if Apple continues to choose otherwise.

For instance, I turn on my Sony 1000MX4 in the living room to listen to music on my iPhone. The iMac wakes up in the office and if it has an YouTube video paused in Safari or the Music app in the foreground, the input won't switch to the iPhone unless I manually change it on Sony's app.

Or, I have a meeting and need to use a decent microphone in order to be heard, so the wired mic connected to the Mac should be selected when the MX4 is off, but instead it reaches for the AirPods that are sitting in the bedside table in the bedroom. Stuff like that.
