I had (and lost, unforunately) a pair of Sennheiser MM400 headphones... The charging jack was on the removable battery pack and you could charge it while using it (no effect at all on headphone operation)
> All headphones and earphones I’ve tried will cut off everything else while they are being charged. Including Bose and Apple.
This has not been my experience with my AirPods Max. They work over Bluetooth just fine while being charged, unless they are completely depleted (0% battery).
For reference, this is on firmware version 4A400 but this has been the case since I received them (months ago).
Yes, this is a PITA. If you know of a maker of headphones and earphones that doesn’t do this, please let me know.
