When the earbuds are paired i notice the light flashes every few seconds. is this expected? if so, can i disable the lights from flashing when paired?

Yes, it is expected. We regret that you can not disable the lights from flashing when paired. Really appreciate you brought this matter to our great attention, and I have forwarded your information internally and hope it can be disabled in the future. You know, a perfect product requires several improvements per the customer's voice, and there is and always will be a "learning curve" whenever new products are brought to market.

can I use either earbud in single mode while the other one charges (that is, keep one always in ear and the other in the case, for continuous use)?

Yes, you can either the earbud in a single mode while the other one charges.

If using only one (left side), will it have both left and right side channels in one earbud?

Both can be used independently, and yes both (if used separately) will have both left and right audio Tested with Bohemian Rhapsody 😁

Do these have volume and Google Assistant control?

Yes, the Life A1 earbuds have volume and Google Assistant control. You can press either earbuds once to adjust the volume and hold left or right earbud for 1S to activate Google Assistant.
