There's an Android app that will constantly scan for their Bluetooth signature in the background and alert you.

I have this app. I work with a douche who wears these (despite then being banned), and this app didn't pick them up.

That must be a huge battery killer.

Nah, if you have Bluetooth on your phone is already doing it.

Basically this. The polling rate and client interrogation behavior can often be pushed to a far more aggressive stance than the usual defaults, but only in foreground mode on most mobile OSes.

I have it installed on mine & haven't noticed any difference.
