Does Multipoint functionality in headphones allow you to listen to two different devices at the same time?

I have been using an audio mixer at my desk for a while now so I can do things like listen to music while I play video games but I am wondering if Multipoint could replace my audio mixer and simplify my setup. Would it allow me to listen to two different devices at the same time?

I have been reading about Multitpoint on websites selling compatible headphones (Jabra and Google) and it doesn’t sound like this is the case. It sounds like it’s simply a faster means of switching back and forth between devices. What makes me second guess this though are posts I have seen in forums suggesting Multipoint is the solution I am looking for.

If not could some wireless DAC be the solution?

    but I don’t know if you can just reverse a splitter to have output from 2 sources into a single input. 🤔

    Can’t you just chain them? For example, when I connect my Phone via bluetooth to my PC I can connect said PC to my speakers which will play both’s audio at once just fine
