Charging and connection issues.
I am very frustrated with these headphones, as they have things I very much like and problems that research showed me are not uncommon.Pros: Great deep sound, over ear hook that keeps them in place while jogging, without worry about sweat causing them to slide out (as with inner ear buds or hooks), easy connection to my iphone, works with ‘find my’ app.Cons: Frequently when I open the case, one side is charged and connected, the other side is uncharged or half charged, or charged but won’t connect (and not always clear which is the problem). I have tried many solutions (list below) but it seems like a not uncommon problem. And my service visit (a disaster, noted below) suggests it could be water damage from sweat or light drizzle while jogging. I thought these were supposed to be sweat resistant, but maybe that’s not sweat proof.Given the price of these, not cheap, and the number of people on net who talk about similar issues, and the terrible experience with warranty, I am currently too paranoid of these problems coming up again to buy a replacement set, hoping the new ones might work better, despite the positives. Too bad. :(1) I read that if you reshape hooks, the case can push them out of contact with connectors. I reshaped over and over. Never fully fixed.2) I read that some people lick connectors to make it work. Um, what? No. And also, see water damage risk.3) I saw at least one person write that her sweat killed it. For something supposed to be sweat resistant, that seems crazy. But consistent with my service visit. This is NOT under warranty. Hopefully they get better waterproof ratings in the next model.4) You can reset the buds with a lot of effort. I tried. No difference.5) I went to apple store to ask about warranty. They confirmed no evident damage and sent it off. A week later i got an email saying it was received. Then an email saying my lack of response meant no action and it was being returned. I hunted high and low in my emails for a middle email. Nothing. Then I went to pick it up, had the lack of middle email confirmed, was told they’d found water damage and that it wouldn’t be under warranty, so I was out of luck. Despite no ‘falling into water scenario’ ever. Yeesh. I told them I’d share my poor experience and they didn’t seem to care. Sad.Ps, I’m still trying to find a way to make these work. The image has one headphone in because it seems that only charging the under charged earbud helps. I think when one is at 98%, it stops charging both.
