For me it’s the notification light you used to find on older phones, was particularly good to know if your phone was charged without picking it up

You don't happen to know if there's some open-source software for Android that might be similar to CAPods? Tbh I'm probably never going to buy either airpods or the brand-name Samsung ones, but I'd imagine there might be a more universal solution?
Yeah, I don't actually recommend buying airpods unless you got them for free if you're an Android user (that's the only reason I'm using airpods atm).
As to open source, I believe CAPods is, unless you're referring to an open source app for most headphones (which upon second thought you probably are).
As to that question, CAPods, according to their GitHub page, supports a few Beats devices, this app for Galaxy Buds on Windows/Linux devices, and this one for Huawei Freebuds device(s?).
Overall, the closest I could find was GadgetBridge, which has support (partial or full) for a few Samsung devices, one Nothing, a few Sony, and Bose(?), though, I did keep running into internal server errors, so it might be out of date.
That's a good link though. Maybe I can get some cheap used beats or airpods.
New ones are too expensive though, ya
