Wireless Earbuds

Why One Wireless Earbud Can Lose Battery Faster Than the Other

You put both wireless earbuds in their charging case at the same time, use them as a pair, and later find that one shows less battery than the other. It is reasonable to expect two matching earbuds to drain together, but equal-looking devices do not necessarily do equal work or have identical battery conditions. A small difference can be normal. The two earbuds may handle different radio, microphone, sensor, or control tasks, and their tiny batteries do not age in perfectly identical ways. A large or rapidly growing difference, however, can also point to incomplete charging or a problem with one earbud.
