The 400g don’t bother me personally. I agree not being able to turn it off sucks, I switched to android for some time and it would just leave the pair on until the battery died. I think it’s basically a feature to force users to stay within the iOS ecosystem

How does headphones not turning off force users to stay in the iOS ecosystem?

I moved back to iOS due to this (and more reasons, but it was one of the reason, my airpods which I love didn't work well with android)

SOME Android devices keep the headphones "on" even when they try to enter low power mode. Pixels don't do this.
