but can you switch between two devices without having to turn off/turn
on the devices?

Yes, you can. If you check out the link I previously posted, there are
instructions for enabling multi-point pairing. Once two devices are paired,
they cannot both transmit audio at the same time, but when one isn't being
used, the other will be.

This might sound like a stupid question, but when you listen to music,
books or just a screen reader using this headset, can other people hear
what you're listening to when they are close; on the bus/train for example?

The question is not stupid. If you are in a very quiet environment, there
will be some sound leakage, but not much at all. On a bus or train, there
isn't really any sound leakage. I wear these in the office, and people
around me can't hear anything.

Please, where can I hear how the microphone sounds?

I demonstrated these on a podcast episode a few months ago. The easiest way
to get to the content is to check out the YouTube video, and to skip to
about 31 minutes into the video, as the first part of the video is
dedicated to the Samsung S21 Ultra. The link to the YouTube version is at
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BFKo_RiUUcc
