    Just adding another vote for please fixing this issue - I am facing the same problem - albeit it’s my right earbud that’s draining rapidly. Tried the factory reset etc.

        Is there any update coming to fix this issue?

        My left earbud with anc on just gives like 1hr battery

        Reconnecting Bluetooth is not working for me. I don’t know how long we have to wait for the fix.

        I have kept the earphones in my lockers, cause it’s unused for a pretty long time.

        The company now focuses on the new products they dont look in the older ones i guess

          The same thing happens to me, the left earpiece never reaches 100% and discharges much faster with the same time of use (synchronised with the Nothing Phone 2).

          This is serious, I hope they fix it soon, it is not normal that even with 6 months of use the product is like this, although it seems to be an update error or something, if not, it is not normal that there are so many reports

          This is same for me! 75% is the max on my left earbud and it runs out so fast, now im having connection issues if i ever try to only use my left one it glitches everything out and is very frustrating, can they maybe roll the update back or something?

          I seem to be suffering from the battery issue with one earbud now running from 100% to zero is <60mins, by comparison the other is on 75%.

          Nothing Support wants me to send back for repair, which seems unreasonable for an 8mths set of essentially consumable items. Why not send one earbud? Probably end up doing that anyway after a couple of weeks and meanwhile I have no earbuds.

          It seems a shame, I kind of like the brand but prices are premium without the service to back it.

          Merged 1 post from Nothing Ear (a) battery issue.

          I’m using nothing ear a (yellow) and also facing the same issue..after 3 months of use right earbuds draining so fast almost 30 percent battery gap…so i contact customer support and they replaced it with a new one. But again I’m facing the same issue , after using 2 months again the same problem happening. I think ear a all earbuds gone through some faulty manufacturing process. I don’t understand what the hell is happening?. This is a very bad thing for a new company and also for a premium price earbuds.

          Literally the same issue. The left bud drains RIDICULOUSLY faster and drops to 5% when my right bud has still 65% charge left. Been facing the issue for more than a month, and if Nothing team continues to ignore this then regrettably have to switch to a different brand.

            son_raghu Facing similar issue after the latest Firmware update. Both the buds draining really fast even when not in use.

            Went to the customer service center, they rejected the replacement saying the issue is because of water damage.(To be honest no water damage of any from my side) They said that there is a green coating (because of water damage) in the charging probe of the case that’s what causing the battery draining issue.

            And the funny thing is the case which they say “water damaged” is working perfectly fine. The buds which clearly doesn’t have any physical damage is having the battery draining issue.
