ALWAYS GETS ME AAAARRRRRRGHHHHHHH I make sure I disconnect them from all devices; I make sure they are well positioned in their cases; that the charging lights are on etc and yet… they disappoint me like this…

I bought some Sony WF-1000XM3 a couple of years ago. They were new, although heavily discounted, but the battery life was awful; the box says the buds themselves would last for 6 hours on a single charge, right? I got maybe 1.5 hours out of them.
Sony wouldn’t RMA them because I supposedly bought them at their outlet store (I didn’t). Eventually, I just replaced the batteries in both buds and now they last ~3 hours; I guess that’s due to the battery in the charging case also being weak.
Next time I’ll just buy one of those Fiio bluetooth DACs to use with my Grados…
Ufff that sucks… I’m impressed that you changed the batteries on the buds. I’m not even sure I could open mine without destroying them.
It’s actually quite easy on the Sonys, I was more than surprised.
What kind of Grados? I LOVE my Grados and I just have a bunch of pairs of SR80…e? My usage of them has only fallen off after snagging some Sennheiser HD560s for a stupidly low price.
I splurged for a pair of SR325x recently and they’re awesome; just a great, balanced sound. Pretty easy to drive, too, even with my old iPod mini.
Ooo those look sick! My only Grado complaint (other than the easily fixable Grattle) is the dual headphone cord. I hate it when they spin around and the cords go inwards and touch my chin. But that’s also easily fixed. I do wish they had a replaceable single cord like Sennheisers, but of my four pairs of Grados I’ve had for a million years, I’ve never had a cord go out.
That’s the only complaint I have as well, the cords tend to rub a lot on any jackets I wear. It’s not really a big deal, though.
Worth it for their magnificent sound and hella comfort! I can wear them for 8-10 hours easy.
