Seeing a speaker named "Bedroom" as an audio output. It is not my speaker.

Look in the Home App under Rooms tab, click on the three lines top left to see a list of your Rooms, to see if you have a “Bedroom” with a device in that room, like an Apple TV?

In that you can look at “room settings“ to edit rooms

So you are seeing a playlist in Apple Music that is not yours? Are there any other Apple ID’s that have been used on your phone?

On your phone go into settings - Your Name - iTunes&App Store - your Apple ID- sign out then sign back in again

Any Suspicious Device?:

“Bedroom” is assigned to my Apple TV by default. So log in to your Apple ID and then view or remove your associated devices. Does anything look unfamiliar/suspicious.

It would have a name on the device when you view the list. See if anything in there is named: “Bedroom”.

“Just checked the list, only my phone is on there, nothing labeled as "Bedroom". This is honestly the strangest thing, I have zero idea where this speaker came from.”

Use: “Forget the Device”

Maybe, just maybe, Bluetooth was enabled and you forgot doing so. So, reenable Bluetooth, and then Rid of it from your devices.

1. Enable: Bluetooth
2. Click: Blue Circle far right of device name
3. Click: Forget this Device

Perhaps a neighbour has a HomePod set to allow any device in Wi-Fi range to connect to it?

See the Change AirPlay settings section of Change settings for HomePod - Apple Support. Everyone means everyone in Wi-Fi range, the HomePod acts as its own hotspot for the connection. Great for parties one assumes. Or nocturnal pranks on unsuspecting neighbours! 😉

Hello,

Do you have an Apple AirPort Express?

Is Bluetooth Enabled?:

It might be the name assigned to your HomePod or some other item. So, disable Bluetooth and see if “Bedroom” no longer shows.

A Few Thoughts:

• Control Panel is on Windows. So, have you connected it to your PC recently? If so, it may have been added through that. I do not use a Windows PC, so, I would not know if adding it is an option.

• Did you lend the phone to someone? If so, maybe they added it.

• Go on the other side of town - and see if it is still seen. If not, perhaps it is a neighbor’s device.

”[...]Even when I am out and about (on a walk with music via wired headphones) I still see that speaker as an option.”

That Brings Up my Next suggestions:

Being Hardwired:

• Plug in to Another Device:

Plug these wired headphones into another device - see if they are seen as the same.

Contact the Manufacturer:

I would recommend you contact the manufacturer of these headphones. Ask them if this is a known bug of the headphones: Their interactivity with your iPhones is what may be getting in the way.
