It should come as no surprise if a device that has just hit the market does so with some issues. The last interesting item that we can already buy are the AirPods, Apple's wireless headphones that have come with a couple of innovation points, such as the W1 chip and the charging box of the headphones. But they have also come up with a problem, according to what some of the first owners of the AirPods report.
The AirPods are in the hands of the first users from December 19-20. Now, more than a week later and after a time in which the behavior of their batteries can already be assessed, some users are complaining that the charging box does not maintain 24 hours that the Cupertinos have promised since September, when they presented the headphones.
The AirPods box does not hold its charge
The box works as follows: it is supposed to keep itself 24 hours of charge for both earbuds. When the headphones are plugged into it, the box transfers charge to the headphones and at that moment is when the 24 hours should begin to descend. When the headphones are out, the box should lose very little charge, something like what any smartphone loses when it is with the screen off and in airplane mode, that is, almost nothing. This is precisely what the AirPods box cannot do according to users who are complaining about this problem.
Users who are experiencing this problem assure that the AirPods box drops to minus 40% in a few hours, even if the AirPods are 100% charged and the use of Bluetooth is minimal. This is something that should not happen and at this time it is unknown why it happens.
A Reddit user assured go to an Apple Store, replace the AirPods and see how the problem disappears, which does not help to know what is happening. I personally can't know what is the problem of the AirPods with their charging box either, but I cannot rule out the possibility that it is a software problem related to Bluetooth. I say this because just this week I had a similar problem with my iPhone 7 Plus when listening to music with Bluetooth headphones in which I saw how the iPhone battery dropped from 100% to 20% in about two hours, something that really caught my attention. attention.
In any case, those of Cupertino, as always, They are not complaining to replace the devices that are causing problems. Surely we will soon have an official statement or solution.
