They're wired, and holy shit the price

They frequently get a bug where when you pause video playback they stop working despite being connected, where the only fix is restarting them (not disconnecting and reconnecting but hard reboot). Which you can only do by putting them back in the charging case and waiting 5 seconds for them to turn off, then reconnecting.

Seems annoying. Never got that with both, what I did get was occasional (1/2 per month, with daily usage of multiple hours) audio desync which required being put in the case

They frequently only connect one of the buds, which you again can only rectify by restarting them.

Never got that, but understandably annoying

They frequently don’t turn off and connect to the charging case so you have to open and close the lid multiple times to make sure it works.

Got that as well with the ComfoBuds Pro, it seems to be related to the charging pins not always working (maybe also because I fucked with them like I said earlier), which I often prevented by pushing on the earbuds head when put in the case to ensure contact.

This issue did not happen (yet?) with the ComfoBuds Aero. The charging pins are at a different location and I didn't touch them to prevent any damaging

Not sure how the contacts are related. I didn't give them access to the contacts anyway I believe

Sometimes they turn off but don’t charge, so when you connect them after having them in the case overnight they’re at 10% battery.

This did happen once for me but it's related to the previous problem

The tap-and-hold surface to switch between noise cancelling/transparency mode/off is super sensitive and frequently a drop of water or sweat or stray strand of hair will toggle the mode. Happens a lot when exercising and is super annoying.

I don't do sport with it nor have long hair so it doesn't happen for me but yea, the controls were shitty and too sensitive, changing modes when I changed their position in my ear. It's less sensitive on the Aero, but they sometimes randomly don't work (like it only works for the left or right earbud sometimes)

Sometimes when they’re in the closed charging case and supposedly off my phone will randomly connect to them while walking by.

Charging pins might be fucked

Finally, one of them actually just stopped working the other day while I was running. I guess they’re not sweat proof? That could be a user issue though maybe they explicitly said not to use them while exercising.

I remember them not having a super strong waterproof rating so it could be the case

Did these issues always happen or did they start to appear more recently? How long did you have these for? I know earbuds have a rather short lifespan, generally lasts about 2-3 years, which is even the case with more pricey earbuds I believe. Compared to the price and sound quality overall, I knew there would be some tradeoffs but I believe I'll keep using 1MORE because the competition is just so much more expensive. I was even surprised good earbuds aren't like 50€, like really, those things are tiny and not super technical

Defederate auto corrected to federate

Fixed it

What I meant is:

You can't expect LLMs not to do that because that's not technically possible at the moment

Companies should display warning and add some safeguards to reduce the amount of time this happens

Sure but some instances like to defederate, so you get cut off from the rest

You know what? I had 1MORE ComfoBuds Pro haha (which broke because I fucked up the charging pins in the charging case, which eh, fair enough, my fault), and now own 1MORE Aero (got them on sale for like 65€)

I don't find them bad, but they have some small problems that get annoying. I believe I can find better

Why do you find them bad?

Yes, I’m aware but didn’t find anything, or was wondering if there was a specific one I missed

The lyrics version hits hard

If they don't, then its lawsuits going their way, so they will put some

But having some laws isn't necessarily bad, I just don't trust countries to do a good job at it, knowing how tech illiterate they are

Feed me with your salt

Please, that's cringe :(

It sucks that personal data is exploited and accessed, but a great thing it was discovered and called out. I wish it was disclosed responsibly though

I hate when the info saying what lane goes where is showed last moment, always makes me stressed

Thanks, but I'm scared talking about wireless earbuds will trigger the audiophiles and they start going insane and try to kill me

They're going after GrapheneOS users!

Still an important part. Free VPNs that spy on you are a thing, but work

Safety guidelines written by chatgpt and other service providers I mean

For some reason I got mixed up and talked about crypto, oops
