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…

    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 :(

    I’ve got a set of Pixel Buds A Series that seem to have painfully weak magnets, causing the buds to constantly lose contact with the charging pins. And since they’re always turned on when disconnected from the charger, this means my buds will randomly pair to my phone even though they’re both in the case, muting my sounds and preventing me from hearing notifications when I’m not wearing the buds. It’s super frustrating. I feel your pain.

    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.

      My AirBuds are FIVE(!) years old and I used them every single day all day at work, for walks, all the time and the case’s battery is still EXCELLENT. I know Apple Bad and whatnot but their wireless headphones are of excellent quality.

      I now have a pair of Pros because I needed the ANC, but I still use my regular ones to nap and stuff.

      I’ve also never experienced OP’s issue with them.

        My Motorola HT820 bluetooth headset is old enough to vote (18 years), and still holds a charge for a few hours. Tech can last if built right.

    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 have a five-year-old pair and cannot imagine how someone would lose just one. They live in the case when not in my ears, so they stay charged. Losing single one and not the whole case baffles me.
