Came from the Nothing Discord because none of the Ear (2) battery life complaints posted there sure aren’t being heard.
I’m getting just over two hours with no noise control (i.e. both ANC and Transparency Mode off) and having to resort to alternating single earbuds if on a long call with family. I love everything else about the Ear (2) and if the poor battery life was a minor issue I could overlook it, but I just can’t because it so bad. I just got the Soundcore p20i recently as a cheap $30 backup to use while the Ear (2) charges and while it doesn’t have ANC (then again Ear (2) practically doesn’t have ANC either given how much of drain on the battery it is) and it has easily has 4 times the battery life before having to charge them buds in the case.
It’s the first time, I paid for premium priced earbuds and the Ear (2) is a regrettable purchase and a thorough disappointment, compounded by the fact that Nothing don’t seem to have acknowledged the issue, let alone, be interested in fixing it . It certainly wasn’t mentioned this quarter’s Community Update YT video (which drained 10% of the Ear (2) battery just by watching the whole 12 mins video).
I can’t see the CMF Buds Pro being any better battery-wise.
