LibrePods is a free, open-source app that brings Apple-exclusive AirPods features to non-Apple platforms by implementing the proprietary protocol AirPods use to talk to Apple devices. It lets you change noise control modes, use ear detection, see accurate battery status, use head gestures, conversational awareness, and more, all without needing a Mac or iPhone. Supports Android and Linux.

There isnt even 3 "open" models of earphones that you can name, and there definitely isnt broad support in any os to configure them. This is great compared to the rest tbh
