Bluetooth 5 Pairing/Unpairing
QXQ_Q62 -
Good evening :)
Here's my problem:
I bought wireless Bluetooth 5.3 touch earbuds from the brand QXQ, model Q62. They are super lightweight, you don't feel them, in short, they're practical. So, I keep them almost permanently on my ears and use them for my computer, my phone, etc.
But every time, I have to disconnect them from the device they are paired with to connect them to another device where they are registered. I can’t disconnect them from the earbud controls! (Do you know how to do that?)
All my devices are Bluetooth 5 (.2 and .3), so sometimes I find myself more than 50 meters away, or even further, from the computer with which the earbuds are paired. For example, when I receive a call or want to listen to music on my phone, I then have to return to the computer and perform operations to disconnect them...
(As you know, Bluetooth 5 has a very long range… So sometimes I end up very far from the device still connected, and with another device in hand that I want to enjoy the earbuds with… Anyway, you got it. Sometimes I even have to call someone close to the computer to disconnect the Bluetooth connection.)
On an old Bluetooth headset I used to have, when I tried to pair from a device, it would automatically disconnect the headset if it was already paired with another device (I also had a pairing-disconnecting button)! On this one, the "QXQ", that doesn’t work, it tells me that "the device is unavailable".
Turning the earbuds off and on doesn’t work, they automatically reconnect to the device.
If you have any ideas, tricks, or commands to help me disconnect them, it would be greatly appreciated.

The earphones, once paired, are no longer detectable by other devices.
I tried placing them in the case, and the pairing disconnects. However, when I take them out, they automatically turn on and pair with the last device they were connected to (as if they had been turned off and back on).
I don't see a solution to disconnect the pairing directly from the earphones.
Re.
In summary, if the earbuds are not paired, they enter automatic pairing mode, waiting for someone to pair with them, indicated by blue lights flashing like a Christmas tree. I wonder if they might be a "dating" device or a "social facilitator" with strangers? Now that I think about it, I've seen flashing earbuds at the train station... I just figured it out, but maybe it's a known phenomenon.
Anyway, my fears have been confirmed. I unpaired my earbuds, and a colluding friend outside, several meters away, managed to perform a rogue pairing (confirmed by notifications in my ears). I listened to his music, he even called his own phone with another phone, answered it himself, and we talked.
Despite several tests, such as turning them off and putting them back in the case, every time I turn the earbuds back on, they automatically connect to my friend's mobile phone. No way to cut the connection (zero, nothing, nada...).
This raises a slight question about consent. Of course, you can take the earbuds out of your ears, avoid leaving them unpaired, and thus avoid the flashing indicating that you're waiting to be paired! xD...
QXQ's technical support seems non-existent. (the brand looks like an emoji, doesn’t it? o_O )
There's a size problem, actually... If my earbuds are on and not paired with a device, therefore detectable, anyone can pair with them and make me listen to their music or call their phone to talk to me... xD and I can literally do nothing! Since I wouldn't be able to disconnect this wild pairing... lol.
There must be a way to disconnect the pairing from the earbuds, right?
