If you can see the "show contact info" dropdown below, I follow you. If you want me to, ask and I'll think about it.
does there exist a device which:
I want something that lets me hear all my audio sources, through one bluetooth headset. Laptop + desktop + tablet + phone.
Instead of only the active one.
As a last resort I am willing to pursue raspberry pi implimentations if you have ideas.
please boost.

not what you're actively looking for, but potentially what you're looking for: you can do this without external hardware by routing your audio to your nearest non-android device with A2DP, because bluetooth audio goes both ways (as in, it can be a sender and a receiver, even simultaneously) on sane systems (like linux or windows).
linux guide, windows app. if you're using a mac then you might be screwed, because the only software that claims to do it is unmaintained, and for android you need to recompile your kernel lol. but if you have at least one linux or macos device in your network, you're good to go.
also, if you want to: you can do exactly this with a raspi. just follow the mentioned guide and connect the raspi to your output device, and you're good to go. and if you're on linux, you can even actually mix the volumes via pulseaudio. and you can use a remote control. and you can also forward audio over network via pulseaudio, or stream the resulting audio to an android device via wifi if that's your cup of tea lol
also another fun fact you can use this to connect bluetooth audio devices to non-bluetooth computers. you connect your bluetooth device to computer a, and tell pulse on computer b to redirect all audio output via tcp to computer a, and you're good to go with minimal latency. pulseaudio is a blessing
I'll check this out but I won't be able to play around with it for a few days
also i just realized that this technically fits your definition of being a device, because you did not specify that said device can't also be an existing part of the system lol
