      (lightning port located on the bottom).

      Wow. And I thought I had seen bad design before. It’s rare to have a wireless device that is entirely disabled when charging.

        It’s so people don’t just leave the cable in so it always looks clean and slick.

        I know plenty of headphones that can’t be used while charging, but that’s often because it would be inconvenient to use simultaneously

          That was one of the main reasons why I sold my Sony headphones and replaced them with Airpods Max. Charging the headphones while in use isn’t really any more inconvenient than using wired headphones would be.

            My Sonys can’t be used with Bluetooth when charging but you can use 3.5 mm audio input so they act like wired when charging. Probably because they’re using a fairly standard Bluetooth chipset which also controls charging
