    Good god I hate this. As soon as that prompt sounds, your battery might as well be dead. Why does it continuously repeat it?! If my battery is low and I only have a few minutes left to listen to my music, the last thing I want is to be constantly interrupted.

    I swear no one who manufactures Bluetooth headphones has ever used them.

      I dig that about AirPods. You get one sad lil “plink plonk donk” sound when they have like a half hour left, then one more sad tone when death is imminent.

      That’s why I love my Bluetooth hearing protection headphones. The low battery warning happens an hour before the battery dies, and it’s only once every like 15 minutes.

      Mine say that and then last 2-4 more hours, depending on whether you disable ANC. It helps that the battery lasts around 20 hours in total though. So I do actually think it’s useful.

    What I hate the most is android fading the volume of the music before sending the notification sound.

    I don’t mind a notification ping mixed with the track, it’s just a few milliseconds, what I hate is this stupid little fade that AFAIK there’s no way to disable.

    The pair I have (sony wf1000 something) has a nice robotic lady that says: バッテリーが少なくなりました。充電してください。

    It’s annoying to hear when I’m still jamming out, but the robot lady says it so pleasantly and politely that I stop listening and charge them out of respect of the request 🤣

    Some show should have someone saying something important on a call and the headphones go “battery low, please recharge “, like all those situations where a car/train drowns out the “ I love you” in shows.

    When mine get to 6 hours remaining you get a reminding beep every 5 minutes that cant be turned off.

    Most of my music is 5+ min long so for me this translates to 6 hours less usable device then i paid for.

      6 hours is a huge timespan too, I’d imagine this happening around 20 minutes or so

    The thing is, the alternative is a wire that inevitably gets tangled up in my spinning chair. what we really need is the ability to transmit electricity wirelessly.

        This is permanent discomfort, since you have to keep charging them over and over just to be able to use them.

        And at the end, you throw away yet an other battery on the trash belt that leaks acid in our drinking water.

      Are you really spinning in your chair round and round?

      Because then you will also not be able to use a mouse and keyboard.

      Wireless devices that only go less than a meter are useless.

    I’ll never go back to getting my ears YANKED by the headphones cord while walking around the house. I’ll take a little 1-2 sec beep beep over physically traumatizing me ears any day.

      back when solid state mp3 players were kinda new, I wore one to go running. on my way out the door, the cord got caught on the knob and yanked me to the ground.

      it was the first time I ever ran, and the last time. never again. 😭

    Jabra lets you disable the voice in the app, and my old Galaxy Buds had quiet sound alerts

        Although mine only tell me the capacity left in hours on switch on, and then suddenly go dead. Thought it was the remaining talk time, but apparently it’s talk and standby. Some frantic searching for the charge cable followed…

      Not all of their headphones though, right? I’ve checked the settings for my Elite 85t (?) and while there were options for adjusting the notification one way or another, I couldn’t outright mute or remove it
