Briefly press the power button once to wake the headset from sleep?

Maybe your proximity sensor is faulty?

To me, it sounds as the proximity sensor simply does not detect that the headset is worn.

taping or putting my finger over it does nothing

Try covering the sensor with non-transparent tape and setting it to manual standby.
