I’ve been using my CMF Buds for just three days, and I’ve already encountered a problem with unequal battery drain between the left and right earbuds. The left earbud is consistently draining much faster than the right, which is making the overall experience quite frustrating.

Note: the difference is of 10 percent and while the buds were charging the difference stayed the same

*Firmware Version**: 1.0.5.049

*Nothing X App Version**: 2.4.10 (com.nothing.smartcenter)

If anyone has faced a similar problem or knows how to resolve this, I’d appreciate any advice.

    Been using buds pro for almost 8-9 months.. recently starting to see similar issue where left earbud is not charging properly and discharging rapidly.. and sometimes the charging issue is seen on the right buds as well..dont know if its firmware issue cause i dont see any dirt or fault in the case and the buds

    I am experiencing same issue in 3 days after I bought buds pro. Left bud stopped pairing to device and draining battery. Very bad experience with buds

    Hi. I have Buds and I am delighted with them. I have absolutely no complaints. It’s a pity they don’t have LDAC - however, Buds Pro 2 also have a programmable knob, which I don’t like. I prefer simplicity. In some time, to have LDAC I will buy Nothing headphones - without a programmable knob, which I wouldn’t use anyway.

    Returning to the batteries in the headphones - I have absolutely no complaints. They discharge quite evenly. However, I don’t follow it that much either. Pay attention to whether you haven’t used only one earphone for some time - for example to listen to a podcast. Perhaps the batteries in both headphones will equalize after some time. It is impossible for the headphones to work perfectly for one person and for the other a ten percent difference between the left and right. Hang in there, give the headphones time to stabilize in them and the battery and you will see that after some time the problem will disappear. Let me know in the future!

    I’ve had this issue for many months, I got my set (box and both buds) replaced under warranty and still have the same issues on the new set. The left bud often fails to charge to full capacity and stops at 70%-90% (sometimes as low as 20%) even though the case has sufficient charge (60% to 90% whenever I’ve observed this happen)
