Yes you can, but depends how long you will be out, and how long you will be calling with, or how long are you going to listen music, for my experience I use just ones at time, listen music the whole day at work but I call a lot too like almost 7 hrs latter I have change it, So yes you can leave the case at home...! anyway each earbud have the same controls, MFB, Volume +-. I hope this can answer your question.

Powerbeats3 Wireless weight ~0.9oz. The description says the Powerbeats Pro are 17% lighter so that would make them about 0.78oz (0.39oz per bud).

AirPods use a double tap gesture on both buds to access customizable controls like Play/Pause, Next/Prev Track, Siri.
Powerbeats Pro have physical volume buttons on both buds for volume and the Beats logo button for a long press gesture to hang up calls.

Both have Hey, Siri voice activation, auto-play/pause when you take out a bud, auto sleep/wake when taking out of the case, auto pairing via iOS 10 and above by opening the case, thanks to the H1 Chip/.
