Feb 19, 2018 at 18:41 comment added JBallin @Andre agreed. While it's unlikely your AirPods are connected without being in your ears (they should be in your case if they aren't in your ears IMO), some people may place them on a table without putting them in case etc.
Feb 19, 2018 at 18:40 comment added Andre @elethan well if you think about the AirPods as being more of a Bluetooth speaker than actual earphones it might make more sense. With the wired ones they can assume you have them in your ears, whereas there’s no indication of where the AirPods are or who’s ears they’re in. Obviously that’s not technical, but hopefully you know what I mean.

Feb 19, 2018 at 18:30 comment added elethan Thanks for the answer! Since this does not apply to wired headphones, the behavior was surprising to me (though I understand that the two types of headphones are very different).
Feb 19, 2018 at 18:29 comment added Andre That’s it basically. Summed up what I was about to answer with.
