SoundSport Free Wireless won’t automatically disconnect from device

I use my SoundSport free wireless ear buds with both my iPad and my iPhone when in the house, depending on the activity. If I have been using them with my iPad at night, and then want to use them with my iPhone the next morning, the buds continue to try to pair with my iPad, and the Bose Connect app on my phone says I need to close the Bose Connect app on my other device. Isn’t there a way to disconnect my iPad from the BoseConnect app on my phone? It’s really annoying to have to go and find my iPad and either manually close the app or manually disconnect the buds from Bluetooth.
