1 min read
Summary
Earbuds are extremely popular but do come with many problems, some of which are impossible or difficult to ignore.
Wireless earbuds in particular suffer from battery chemistry issues, where the batteries deplete whilst not in use and expire sooner than wired options.
The batteries inside earbuds degrade at different rates, meaning one earbud can lose battery power quicker than the other.
There can also be issues with audio balance, with sound limiting on one side progressively.
Physical damage is a common issue if earbuds are dropped on hard surfaces, and general wear and tear means hinges breakdown on the charging cases.
There can also be issues with updating firmware, where an update can make earbuds worse, and there can be latency issues whilst using earbuds.
The main issues earbud users face is that despite appearing more convenient, they can in fact have more problems than wired headphone options.
