Last year I wrote about my new Sony headphones. Nice they were. Incredible sound quality, long lasting battery. Let's fast forward 15 months to right about now shall we. The right earbud will only charge to 90%. Never 100%, because why would it?

And today dear reader, I listen to a podcast for 35 minutes, the right earbud is at 11% and the left at 74%. I'm currently suffering through the chatbot troubleshooting steps so they can see if my "product requires servicing".

So that's fun.

UPDATE: well, a reset to factory defaults seems to have fixed it? Turns out we can have nice things!

UPDATE: well now, that aged poorly.

I've bought two pairs of Airpods Pro in the space of three years. While the sound quality was great, the reliability not so much. So I'm trying a little something new. Some Sony WF-1000XM4 are literally the things in my ears as I type this. Quite simply the best headphones I've ever owned.
