How can I tell whether earbuds will switch between my laptop and phone?

Check whether the exact model supports Bluetooth multipoint and what it can do during a call. An app that remembers both devices does not necessarily keep both connected.

Yes. A leaking seal can let low-frequency sound through. Try the supplied sizes before comparing cancellation settings or buying different tips.
