Another similar annoyance: I'm on my phone using my AirPods and I wander in range (but still rooms away from) my Beats, which happen to be turned on. Even though I haven't taken my AirPods out of my ears, my phone switches over to my Beats. Why?
Surely the AirPods know they're still inserted and should be able to override any external switching cue. Also, the AirPods are still much closer to my phone than the Beats, so the signal should be stronger. Lastly, it's not like I just turned on the Beats, and they sent some sort of startup/activation signal. I literally just get home from a walk and my phone migrates to a different audio output. Maddening.
