There is no need for SHOUTING!
Your language above gives me the following impression--that your HBH-60 is
paired to both your V800 and your laptop. When you wish to use it with
another device (i.e., other than those two), you have to pair it anew.
According to that impression, if your headset is paired to both your phone
and laptop, it IS faired to more than one device. (Which doesn't mean it is
connected simultaneously to more than one device.)
But I could have misread you, that you have to re-pair every time you switch
between phone or laptop. Your paragraph (yes, the "whole original"),
however, certainly sounds like it might mean that your headset is paired
with both devices.
As you can see from other's responses, your statement that one
CANNOT(=IMPOSSIBLE) shouting statement about "a headset" is simply not true.
It might be true about your ("outdated") headset, that doesn't mean it is
true for all headsets.
