Remember that the Airpods will not switch seamlessly/automatically and instantly between your iPhone and Apple Watch. They are Apple's own product and are supposed the most advanced Bluetooth earbuds out there yet pretty much any other Bluetooth headset will do this so I am not quite sure how this works and how Apple justifies this. I have a Voyager Edge single earpiece and if I pair it to both my iPhone and Apple Watch, I can be listening to an audio book on my iPhone using the earpiece and as soon as I do something on my watch the book stops and it switches to my watch, once I stop the book plays again as soon as the watch locks.

When I checked and compared prices of Plantronics and airpods, the airpods cost about 30 euros more than Plantronics here in Slovakia, to not decided yet which model I am going to buy. Please, Are there any other models available that has this feature? Thanks in advance.
