Partial A native macOS app with a menu bar UI and basic Bluetooth controls is vibe-codeable. Reliable control of many proprietary headphone and microphone protocols is the hard part.
What it would actually take: The app would use Swift with CoreBluetooth, IOBluetooth, and possibly private APIs for media and device control. Each headphone brand has undocumented protocols that must be reverse-engineered and maintained as firmware changes. MacOS audio routing and permissions also need careful handling, so the work requires macOS and Bluetooth low-level experience.
