    I guess this is a pro for AirPods because I don’t think I’ve encountered this in the many years of owning em. Can understand how annoying this can be.

      Yeah this is one of the few issues I have found on the Buds FE (at least the pair I have rn). Other than that, they are pretty good for the price, and sometimes they give them for free if you buy a phone from Samsung (at least here in Costa Rica)

    This is ass. Sometime i have to jiggle the bud for it to make contact even after cleaning the contact point.

        Jabra does it regularly for me. I’m not sure if it’s a brand issue tbh, it could very well be the amount of oils and wax in my ear, which in my opinion isn’t out of the ordinary but it prevents an earbud from recharging properly. Sometimes it won’t do until I wipe with alcohol. Visually there is no difference between before and after wiping.

        I’ve complained in the past and I got a lot of Jabra zealots swearing they’ve never had anything like this happen to them. Also I haven’t tried wireless from other brands yet so take that into account.

    I’ve made a habit of wiping the contacts on the earbud and case with a finger before putting it away, then I give the bud a bit of a wiggle once it’s in so the contacts rub together and hopefully dislodge/break through any dirt or oil.
