Mine's a British woman. And the volume of that voice always seems to be much louder than whatever I was listening to, so it gives me a slight fright every time.
There is absolute peak YT with two voice actresses who have both done BT headphones (and other stuff) for various companies. https://youtu.be/V3BUlzk6qNU
You can! Just go to the "place you buy earbuds" settings page and select "wired earbuds". After I did that, the annoying warnings went away, and my earbuds gained infinite battery life!
I want them to just turn off when the battery is gone.
If they want to make a single low volume alert at some low level telling me how much battery remains, that's an extra. Anything else is hostile bullshit.
I would prefer that, yes. Also I would do that occasionally and not constantly.
Furthermore, if they suddenly go silent, then I know what's up and that it's my fault for not charging before. But that is fine, because I am quite good at keeping the tech charged and ready that I use daily. I would prefer it much more for them to suddenly shut down than to annoy me for 3 hours that battery has reached less than 30%. Really infuriating especially with audiobooks.
I can't even use Bluetooth earphones at this point because of this.
They just make me anxious, I am constantly expecting to be startled by random loud voice at any point.
If you don't need to filter out lots of noise, you can alternate to use one buds at the time for long study/work session. So the other one can keep charging in the case. Otherwise, a female audio jack/usbc adapter with some good old cable headphones.

the tts in my car's bluetooth puck consistently mispronounces "bluetooth" as "blew-a-tooth". truly a mark of high quality.

I have a nice shower speaker that, when low on power, begins beeping every 5 seconds, with at least three times the volume of the music
I get it, just give me 2 goddamn minutes to finish showering and then I'll charge you!

Do you want to constantly check your settings page for the battery percentage?

No I'd just charge it after heavy usage.

One warning is great. The repeated warnings are not. Just let me enjoy the time I have left.

It's more like 'BETWEEN 6 AND 12 HOURS PLAYTIME REMAINING.'
I don't know why companies that should know better don't just stick with simple beeps. Sennheiser, you fucking idiots.

My headphones beep 10 minutes before they die. Which is especially frustrating when they do that a few minutes into a 2-hour run.

"Battery low"
You've still got 50% battery remaining, you lying piece of shit.

I love my hearing protection headset. It warns you when there's about 1h of battery left, then at 30m, then 10m.
That's it.
