I don't believe they auto shut off because they have a feature to find them if you lose an earbud and that feature would not work if the earbud was off.

This would mean a short life for the batteries.<BR /><BR />Do the ear buds turn off automatically after a while? What time?</P> Fri, 26 Aug 2022 16:36:44 GMT https://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Galaxy-Buds/Storing-Buds2-Pro-after-use/m-p/2359458#M28426 userUCqO2kHUKF 2022-08-26T16:36:44Z https://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Galaxy-Buds/Storing-Buds2-Pro-after-use/m-p/2359478#M28429 Yes, place them back into their case so that way they can recharge.

What is NOT safe is keeping them out in an environment with high temperature because the heat will degrade the batteries faster and the earbuds will be left on.
