I bought Nothing ear 2024s, and I’ve been using them almost daily for nearly 9 months. They’ve worked really well for the most part, except for a weird battery inconsistency between the earbuds.
Pretty much always for the last 2 months, the right earbud has been charging only at a maximum of 90%, while the left one has been charged fully. Sometimes the battery percentage shows that it’s full for both earbuds, just so that after a couple of seconds being connected to my Phone (2) to drop back at a 90%, whilst the left one still was at 100%. For like a week now, the problem has only aggravated. After a bit of normal usage (no ANC, no advanced codecs), the percent difference is at 20%. The earbuds both still work just fine and charge this way (even after letting them charge overnight), and the pins of the case aren’t corroded, dirty or bended in any way.
I’ve contacted support directly once about this problem, and got no reply (even after a month later, still nothing). I’ve also sent feedback trough the recent ear and ear (a) google forms feedback poll, and also got nothing back as of now. This lack of communication seems even stranger to me, because I’ve also had some connectivity issues with my Phone (2) a while back, support has responded really quick and they really tried to guide me to fix my problem (it was a dumb user error, but they still we’re really keen to help me and figure out the root of the issue).
I think since these battery problems arise, my buds didn’t even receive one firmware update either, which might’ve fixed this strange issue.
Regardless, these will surely be my last wireless earbuds ever. Still enjoying a lot my Phone (2), which I really thought will have much more issues when I first bought it, not the buds.
