How To: Turn Off Airpods - iPhone
Some are deceived by the off feature in iPhone Airpods settings. See below.
*Update* The easiest way to disconnect your AirPods from your iOS device is to swipe up on your home screen and toggle off and on the Bluetooth button. This will disconnect your AirPods immediately.
1. On your iPhone, go to Settings -> Bluetooth -> Your AirPods. Click the i next to it.
2. Find Double-Tap On Airpods and select Off.
This feature actually turns off the AirPod double-tap feature and does not turn off your AirPods when you are not using them. At the moment, there is no way to turn off your AirPods – even if you disable your Bluetooth.
It’s unfortunate Apple could not incorporate a simple off feature and we’ll just have to get used to putting our AirPods back in their case when we are not using them.

Hi Kaleel,
When that white light is blinking, your AirPods are looking for a device to pair with. You use that button to pair with non-iOS devices, or pair to a different iOS device if it is already paired to another. I don't believe that they are dormant during that process.
I found out you can force the AirPods to stop using Bluetooth by putting them in the case, closing the lid then plugging then unplugging the charger. This will disconnect them.
Hello,
Have tried to shutdown/Turnoff AirPods unfortunately there no way but it goes on sleep mode when you press Bluetooth button for 5 sec. It shows white light blinking like a sleep this is the only way you will be able to put your AirPod sleep...
If you find any other way please do let us know.
Thanks
Khaleel
