Ear 2024 - Unequal battery usage

Razz

I have observed that my Nothing ear 2024’s left ear bud drains faster than the right one. Initially the difference was 10% only between the two buds. But it seems to be increasing by the daily usage. Now I see a difference of 15% after listening to music for 30 mins. After 1 hour the difference was 30%.

Anyone facing the same issue? Should I claim for replacement with this behaviour?

Thanks,

Raz

I think it’s a feature. Most of wireless earbud discharges at different rate to ensure that they do not stop working at the same time, so you can charge one while the other is still running and viceversa. Maybe the left discharges too fast anyway, I don’t know.

Hi,

I’m facing the same issue with my Nothing Ear Bud (2024 edition) after the recent firmware update. Specifically, the left earbud is not charging fully when placed in the case—it stops at 80%. The right earbud, however, charges without any problem.

Additionally, the left earbud’s battery drains extremely fast. For instance, when using it in noise cancellation mode, the charge drops significantly after just 5 minutes of use.

This issue began immediately after the firmware update, so I suspect it might be related to a bug in the latest version. I would appreciate it if the team could look into this and provide a solution or recommend a fix.

Thankyou

JeffinJoseph_SaPfEYnpux hello mate, I’d suggest contacting support https://nothing.tech/pages/contact-support as they’re best placed to help you. Drain on one side is normal but, if it’s significant drain then I’d advise contacting support after doing a quick reset of the device to see if that resolves your issue.

Hi there,

It’s been 2 days I am using nothing ear. I observed one thing after putting back the earbud in to case I always found right one has more charge than the left one. May I know why?
