But 3.5mm jacks are sooooooooo awful.
My headphones beep 10 minutes before they die. Which is especially frustrating when they do that a few minutes into a 2-hour run.
It needs to yell it at a startling volume compared to what you were listening at.
I have a nice shower speaker that, when low on power, begins beeping every 5 seconds, with at least three times the volume of the music
I get it, just give me 2 goddamn minutes to finish showering and then I’ll charge you!
“Battery low”
You’ve still got 50% battery remaining, you lying piece of shit.
I do not understand why we are not allowed to just disable this feature.
You can! Just go to the “place you buy earbuds” settings page and select “wired earbuds”. After I did that, the annoying warnings went away, and my earbuds gained infinite battery life!
Do you want to constantly check your settings page for the battery percentage?
I would prefer that, yes. Also I would do that occasionally and not constantly.
Furthermore, if they suddenly go silent, then I know what’s up and that it’s my fault for not charging before. But that is fine, because I am quite good at keeping the tech charged and ready that I use daily. I would prefer it much more for them to suddenly shut down than to annoy me for 3 hours that battery has reached less than 30%. Really infuriating especially with audiobooks.
I want them to just turn off when the battery is gone.
If they want to make a single low volume alert at some low level telling me how much battery remains, that’s an extra. Anything else is hostile bullshit.
You will pry these wired earbuds out of my cold dead ears!
Well, you don’t need to worry about battery warnings then!
The pain. ☹️
15 minutes of silence…
POWER OFF
If you don’t need to filter out lots of noise, you can alternate to use one buds at the time for long study/work session. So the other one can keep charging in the case. Otherwise, a female audio jack/usbc adapter with some good old cable headphones.
