Good god I hate this. As soon as that prompt sounds, your battery might as well be dead. Why does it continuously repeat it?! If my battery is low and I only have a few minutes left to listen to my music, the last thing I want is to be constantly interrupted.

I swear no one who manufactures Bluetooth headphones has ever used them.

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 1 week ago

I dig that about AirPods. You get one sad lil “plink plonk donk” sound when they have like a half hour left, then one more sad tone when death is imminent.

[–] onslaught545@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 week ago

That's why I love my Bluetooth hearing protection headphones. The low battery warning happens an hour before the battery dies, and it's only once every like 15 minutes.

[–] LwL@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Mine say that and then last 2-4 more hours, depending on whether you disable ANC. It helps that the battery lasts around 20 hours in total though. So I do actually think it's useful.

Mine is more like. "LOW BATTERY, PLEASE RECHARGE HEADSET" proceeds to play music over my tinnitus.

What I hate the most is android fading the volume of the music before sending the notification sound.

I don't mind a notification ping mixed with the track, it's just a few milliseconds, what I hate is this stupid little fade that AFAIK there's no way to disable.

[–] Smash@lemmy.self-hosted.site 3 points 1 week ago

You can disable it with the LSPosed module DisableAudioFocus (which lets multiple Apps play audio at the same time)

The pair I have (sony wf1000 something) has a nice robotic lady that says: バッテリーが少なくなりました。充電してください。

It’s annoying to hear when I’m still jamming out, but the robot lady says it so pleasantly and politely that I stop listening and charge them out of respect of the request 🤣

[–] RedWeasel@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

Some show should have someone saying something important on a call and the headphones go “battery low, please recharge “, like all those situations where a car/train drowns out the “ I love you” in shows.

[–] callouscomic@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 week ago

Still wired with most of my electronics.

Fuck bluetooth. Fuck batteries.

[–] webghost0101@sopuli.xyz 5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

When mine get to 6 hours remaining you get a reminding beep every 5 minutes that cant be turned off.

Most of my music is 5+ min long so for me this translates to 6 hours less usable device then i paid for.

[–] sykaster@feddit.nl 3 points 1 week ago

6 hours is a huge timespan too, I'd imagine this happening around 20 minutes or so

[–] djsoren19@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 week ago (2 children)

The thing is, the alternative is a wire that inevitably gets tangled up in my spinning chair. what we really need is the ability to transmit electricity wirelessly.

[–] OmegaLemmy@discuss.online 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The alternative is permanent discomfort, Vs this temporary discomfort

[–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 week ago

This is permanent discomfort, since you have to keep charging them over and over just to be able to use them.

And at the end, you throw away yet an other battery on the trash belt that leaks acid in our drinking water.

[–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 week ago

Are you really spinning in your chair round and round?

Because then you will also not be able to use a mouse and keyboard.

Wireless devices that only go less than a meter are useless.

[–] Scotty_Trees@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I'll never go back to getting my ears YANKED by the headphones cord while walking around the house. I'll take a little 1-2 sec beep beep over physically traumatizing me ears any day.

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

back when solid state mp3 players were kinda new, I wore one to go running. on my way out the door, the cord got caught on the knob and yanked me to the ground.

it was the first time I ever ran, and the last time. never again. 😭

[–] wirelesswire@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 week ago

I stick with wired headset/earbuds so I don't have to deal with crap like this.

That's why I have wired headphones. My Final Audio headphone survived 2 (!) USB DACs already.

[–] mkmusic@torishiro.com 3 points 1 week ago

@hmmm@sh.itjust.works bluetooth has latency anyways... not good for watching... @animemes@ani.social

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I bought these cheap af OneOdio Pro 30 awhile back and they've even got both regular 3.5mm cable and a 6.35mm to 3.5mm cable but I plug the 3.5mm end of the second cable into the headphones so I can connect the 6.35mm end to my audio interface.

I'm listening to fuckin HiFi for what was at the time $15. I might cry when they eventually break.

[–] Zwiebel@feddit.org 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

Jabra lets you disable the voice in the app, and my old Galaxy Buds had quiet sound alerts

[–] UltraMagnus0001@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

Jabra actually sounds nice though.

[–] Tikiporch@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Get em while you can. Jabra is exiting the market.

[–] Cobrachicken@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Although mine only tell me the capacity left in hours on switch on, and then suddenly go dead. Thought it was the remaining talk time, but apparently it's talk and standby. Some frantic searching for the charge cable followed...

[–] v4ld1z@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Not all of their headphones though, right? I've checked the settings for my Elite 85t (?) and while there were options for adjusting the notification one way or another, I couldn't outright mute or remove it

[–] Zwiebel@feddit.org 2 points 1 week ago

For my Elite 8 Active Gen 2 I can choose between voice, sounds and mute

[–] Gerudo@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 week ago

My gaming headset has an ear piercing bluetooth connected tone, and you can't adjust the volume of it.

[–] UltraMagnus0001@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

My great sounding technics az80 has the most obnoxious sounding voice prompts.

[–] glorkon@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

I had a Focal Bathys. They sounded great, but the build quality was laughable for such a high priced pair of headphones. Some plastic bit broke and they've become unusable after only two years.

So I bought some cheaper BT headphones just for home office purposes, calls and such.

And I treated myself to a dedicated USB DAC (iFi Zen DAC v3) plus wired headphones (Hifiman Arya Organic) connected with a balanced cable.

Never going back - I don't think that kind of sound quality is even possible with Bluetooth.

[–] lime@feddit.nu 2 points 1 week ago (2 children)

it's absolutely possible, since the signal is digital. you can get bluetooth DACs with balanced output.

[–] glorkon@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Also, might I add, I have tried just about all the highend Bluetooth headphones.

Dali IO-12, Mark Levinson No 5909, Focal Bathys, B&W Px8, T+A Solitaire T, Bang & Olufsen Beoplay H100. In a shop which had them all available to try. I've compared them with the Arya Organic and the Meze 109 Pro (both wired).

The Bluetooth headphones I liked the most were the Dali. They really came close to the wired ones. But then again, I would advise you to check out the Hifiman Arya Organic at a local dealer if you can. You will definitely know what I'm talking about.

[–] glorkon@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

When I mentioned "balanced output" I was referring to the analogue cable I'm using to connect the headphones to the DAC. Balanced means you get separate channels for each ear in your analogue signal path.

With a Bluetooth connected wireless headphone, it's always balanced by definition. But when I said "that kind of sound quality isn't possible" with Bluetooth, I was referring to a different problem: Digital to analogue signal conversion.

In my setup, it happens in the DAC which is audiophile quality. Signal path: PC - (digital USB) -> DAC -> Balanced cable (analogue) -> Headphones.

In Bluetooth, it looks like this: PC - Bluetooth (digital) -> Headphones (which do the digital to analogue conversion).

This signal conversion can't match the quality of a dedicated desktop DAC.

[–] lime@feddit.nu 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

i know what a balanced output is. i am saying that there are dedicated audiophile-grade, battery powered bluetooth receiver DACs with balanced output, which you can plug any wired headphones into, usually through a 2.5 or 4.4mm jack so you don't blow up your cheap pairs. they usually come with a built-in mic and a lapel clip so you can use them to take calls. FiiO is a big brand that makes these, but there's a whole market.

[–] glorkon@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Well, but that wasn't the use case I was talking about at all. I was talking DAC + wired headphone vs. Bluetooth headphones.

You're talking about wired headphones with a Bluetooth DAC. Entirely different thing.

The only difference in that setup is the connection between PC and DAC. USB or Bluetooth. I could connect my Arya Organic to a Bluetooth DAC, of course. Nonetheless, you completely misunderstood my entire point.

[–] lime@feddit.nu 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

usually if you use bluetooth headphones it's because you want wireless headphones. you were saying that it wasn't possible to get the same quality when using bluetooth and i'm telling you it's entirely possible. you weren't talking about a usecase to begin with, only that you were not happy with the headphones you had tried.

[–] glorkon@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Again, when I said it wasn't possible to get the same quality using Bluetooth, I meant using Bluetooth headphones, not a Bluetooth DAC and wired headphones. And this is the second time I'm explaining that to you, not going to waste my time doing it three times.

[–] lime@feddit.nu 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

i am not getting that from any of your earlier comments.

[–] glorkon@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago

Then you didn't even really read what I said. I even described the two different kinds of signal paths I was talking about in my first response to you.

This has been a waste of time. Have a nice day.

[–] DeathByBigSad@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago

So relatable, especially earbuds since they have much smaller batteries by physics limitations, and they last like 2 hour tops before charging case is needed, heaphone at least last more like 8 hours and just don't forget to charge it and it'll be fine.

Wireless earbuds also cannot be charged while in use, at least some wireless headphones can be charged via USB-C while you use it so it'll just be temporarily a wired headphone (Anker Soundcore lets you do that, Sony doesn't 😕)

[–] answersplease77@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago
