    The most annoying thing is it blasting “battery low” every 30 seconds when the battery gets below 20%, making them absolutely unusable. At least Sony lets out a ver short beep to let you know, and only twice

      I have been using Sony earbuds exclusively for the past few years. 10/10. Good sound, decent battery. Well made case (seriously you don’t realize until you have one how nice a well made and shaped case is), they’ve held up far better than I expected over the years.

      A bit pricer than some junk you can order off wish or whatever, but I think it’s well worth it for the quality and longevity of it.

      My favorite Wf-700

      I hate this too, it reminds you constantly as if its something dangerous that you shouldn’t forget about. A small beep once every 20 minutes would suffice. Not only that, but a lot of modern Bluetooth headphones last for quite a long time after the battery goes below 20%.

        Also modern Bluetooth devices send their battery level to the connected device. Why don’t most phones also regularly send a toast or show a notification that you headphones are running out of battery?

          Well I’m not always looking at my phone when I’ve got headphones in.

          Actually, I’m almost never looking at my phone when I’ve got Bluetooth headphones in.
