ALWAYS GETS ME AAAARRRRRRGHHHHHHH I make sure I disconnect them from all devices; I make sure they are well positioned in their cases; that the charging lights are on etc and yet… they disappoint me like this…
Sounds like a vote in favor of the headphone jack.
Sure, I still use those too. They have their own pros and cons though, but you are right, you won’t have that particular issue
Sounds like OP has crappy earbuds. I’ve never put mine in the case and had one not charge.
I just tried and I wasn’t able to have my earbuds in their case without them charging.
More like in favour of non-shitty Bluetooth earbuds. I’ve never had this kind of issue with mine.
This happens with my hearing aids. They cost a small fortune, but the audiologist won’t do anything about it because it’s intermittent - I can never show it happening. “The charging case must be dirty” etc. The manufacturer, Phonak, says any fault reporting must be done through the retailer. It seems to happen mainly when I’ve got something on where I really really need to be able to hear properly, or when I want to use Bluetooth to listen to music.
AAAARRRRRRGHHHHHHH is putting it mildly. My fury knows no bounds.
That wouldn’t belong in this forum… Definitely beyond mildly infuriating! I’d be pissed too :(
Urgh, that’s a very annoying issue. Also the charging case battery will degrade and run out of power quickly after a year or two.
I don’t have to worry about that, because I always lose just one of them.
One of the reasons I stubbornly keep buying those “sport” models that are connected by a wire.
They are cheaper and you never lose one, of course they don’t last forever but you can get a good few years out of a pair.
I am going to need new ones shortly and I am struggling to find any with the nanna strap. What type do you have?
Disclaimer: I use them for audio books primarily, so you probably need some different ones for music.
The ones I currently use is: https://www.havit.hk/products/i37/ They are alright, just slow at booting up and connecting.
I buy two pairs at a time, the cover for the speaker fell off the first pair of havit’s after some time and it started to crash because of moisture.
When the last havit breaks I have two pairs of: https://www.motorola.com/us/moto-sp105-sports-wireless-in-ear-headphones/p
Thank you
I bought some Sony WF-1000XM3 a couple of years ago. They were new, although heavily discounted, but the battery life was awful; the box says the buds themselves would last for 6 hours on a single charge, right? I got maybe 1.5 hours out of them.
Sony wouldn’t RMA them because I supposedly bought them at their outlet store (I didn’t). Eventually, I just replaced the batteries in both buds and now they last ~3 hours; I guess that’s due to the battery in the charging case also being weak.
Next time I’ll just buy one of those Fiio bluetooth DACs to use with my Grados…
Ufff that sucks… I’m impressed that you changed the batteries on the buds. I’m not even sure I could open mine without destroying them.
It’s actually quite easy on the Sonys, I was more than surprised.
I have had the same problem with Powerbeats Pro and Beats Fit Pro. The case uses two small pogo pins in each earbud slot to provide power. These provide the tolerance required to make a good contact with the earbud which is held in place by magnets. These pogo pins are the problem. I periodically use a microfiber cloth moistened with a bit of isopropyl alcohol to clean the earbud slots with focus on these pogo pins. Make sure to move the pins up and down with your cleaning motion. My thinking is that the alcohol will clear out any earwax or other gunk that has built up around the pogo pin and is preventing it from coming back up to full height. I haven’t had this issue recur since adjusting my cleaning habit to include the alcohol on the pins. Pogo pins do use a spring to function so like all springs it will eventually lose some of its resistance and will need to be replaced. Since these small electronics are not made to be repaired, that means buying a new pair, most likely. However, I recently replaced one Beats Fit Pro with a new pair after almost four years of near daily use. I’m pretty impressed with how far these wireless earbuds have come since the first generation.
Noted! Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll try it out
This is the wooooorst
what kind of earbuds do you use, the overpriced apple shite? never had an issue like that with my Jabras
I have Jabras too. The only apples I buy are by the kilo
This happens with my PS5 controller sometimes. I plug it in after gaming and then go to bed. When i wake it’s still dead. Then i have to play with a corded controller like some 90s kid.
