“I was reading reviews online that said something about the bulky case. To clarify, these do not need to connect to the case to have bluetooth functionality, right? They connect to your smartphone?”

They are bluetooth, so you don't need the case to use them wirelessly. You can go look at some of the Youtube videos that the tech bloggers are posting. Idk why everyone is comparing the Powerbeats Pro case to Airpods. I'm an athlete, and I can appreciate putting my headphones in a case that I can throw in my gym bag and they will stay safe - while they charge. If the battery life is so long, why would you want to walk around with a case in your pocket anyway?
The case is a hub of sorts, More over the charging station. I haven't taken the case with me it just sits on my counter top. its a hard shell so its durable and its the only charge point. I would assume if you lose or damage it you might as well consider your headphones useless.
That is correct. The ease of use is great, I have an Iphone and all I simply had to do was (headphones should be charged) open the case near my phone and that begins the pairing. You'll see the icon for the headsets on your phone and you simply select it. From that point forward it'll be connected and headsets can take calls play music and if in the middle of listening to music and you remove one then i'll pause. The typical functions are built into BOTH headsets so you can play, pause, skip, volume up/down. etc.
You are correct. You do not need the case to use them with your phone. Only time you need your case is when you first pair them with your phone.

Correct, the case charges them and keeps them safe in your bag, but the case remains in my car or locker while I am working out in the gym and there is no issue. Bluetooth connects only to your phone.
Yes they connect to the phone but have to be initially paired - repaired while in the case... works great with I phone but Samsung galaxy 10 doesn’t recognize them or pick them up. Might be a Samsung thing though.

They have to stay in the case to connect to your phone first then you can choose to put one or both in your ear to use. This apple product connects perfectly just like any other apple ear pods
The case is only for charging the earbuds. You have to connect it to the cellphone by bluetooth.
They connect to your smart phone. It’s a bit bulky but nothing to big.
once initialized they are connected to your phone until you put them back in the case.
