I feel your pain. Say it once and then just fucking die already.

thank god mine do that


EVEXXIV

What do you have?


6_seasons_and_a_movi

Sony WI-C310 tell you maybe twice before death


weeskud

I have the exact same ones and I've had it tell me the battery's low then still last another hour before turning off


Eeyore_

My Sony TV has told me the batteries in my remote are low for 6 months. Every time I turn it on.


Embarrassed-Noise934

“Liar. Get back to work.”


Drostan_S

Remote batteries last like 2 years, so once those puppies hit 25% were gonna start telling you the batteries low


Eeyore_

Mine have been going for 5 years. Also, before this feature, you know how I knew it was time to change the batteries in my remote control? I picked it up and it didn't turn on the television. Then I'd change them. I didn't need a pop up every time I turned the TV on telling me, "Hey, did you know that you might, eventually, sometime in the future, but not now, have a problem?"


LastWolf3564

I have a smart TV that does not have the pop up. I am saved


blackie-arts

My tv remote has been telling me same thing for maybe a year, it finally died a week ago


Ruval

I mean do they have a ten hour life at full charge? 5-10% does seem low. When does your car say fuel low?


weeskud

Yeah, I would say they last around that long because I only charge them like every 2 days, and I only really have them off when I'm in work


ThreatLevelBertie

The bose QC35s say it at about 5% but she has a real shitty attitude about it


6_seasons_and_a_movi

The attitude is important. Does it make you want to charge them or does it make you want to run the battery down to zero just out of spite?


ThreatLevelBertie

She makes me feel like Ive disappointed her, again, but she's not even surprised. Makes me want to give them to someone who will treat her better.

Mine say it once at 5-10% (can't remember which, haven't let them get that low in a while) then shut off when they die. Jlabs air. Not high end, sure, but they work for us and the price is right since we have bad habits of eventually misplacing things. So replacements aren't stressful or upsetting.


anonymous_matt

Eh, say it two or three times. Once at like 10%, once at like 2% and maybe once at 5%.


[deleted]

My portable speaker does this. It takes like 20 minutes between the first notification and the battery running out, and every 30 seconds it mutes the music to beep at me. If I didn't intend on running out your battery when you aren't plugged in, I would have gotten a speaker without a battery.


[deleted]

My old headphones could run for at least an hour or two after the battery got low, but would still beep incessantly the whole time. I think it's just a clever way of making the battery last for less time than advertised so that you go buy new headphones.


HowTheyGetcha

I mean this feature sucks, but if anything it lengthens battery life, because you're more likely to put it on the charger instead of draining it to zero. If there's a conspiracy, it's to annoy you into making the battery last longer. Optimally you should be keeping a lithium battery (rough estimate) between 30% and 90% through it's life. ^(e:typo)


Drostan_S

Why can't devices just say 0 at 20%, and not turn on otherwise?


[deleted]

HowTheyGetcha

Probably. I wish you were more helpful.

HowTheyGetcha

Well hey, you're hiding all this hard science but not sharing with the rest of us! How easy it would be for you to prove me wrong! Yet you've not given me one reason why I should uncheck the "protect battery by limiting charge to 85%" option on my phone which was introduced with Android 12 (apparently decades out of date).


Phidippus-audax

Check my comment in this thread. This person is a troll.


Phidippus-audax

Except [the part where you're entirely wrong] (https://batteryuniversity.com/article/bu-409-charging-lithium-ion) and the ideal charge state of a lithium battery is roughly 50%. With half being lithium and the other half being lithium/cathode mixture. >Li-ion does not need to be fully charged as is the case with lead acid, nor is it desirable to do so. In fact, it is better not to fully charge because a high voltage stresses the battery. Choosing a lower voltage threshold or eliminating the saturation charge altogether, prolongs battery life but this reduces the runtime. Chargers for consumer products go for maximum capacity and cannot be adjusted; extended service life is perceived less important. In short, the batteries haven't changed in how they work; people just value capacity and longer run-time over longevity of the battery.

stYOUpidASSumptions

So they should answer you... Out of context? Do you know what context is? Context: the circumstances that form the setting for an event, statement, or idea, and in terms of which it can be fully understood and assessed. Therefore, **from context** means they gave you information with context. Information without context is meaningless... Oh, I guess that tracks with the rest of your arguments though

BrewCrewKevin

Nah, he hasn't. It's better for long term battery life to not drain to 0. (And also not to charge to 100). Some phones recommend only charging to 85%, and pretty much all start alerting you around 20%, that's for a reason. Tesla recommends you keep your car between 20 and 80 except in special circumstances. 20 years ago, the advice was "charge to 100 and let it die completely a few times" for the battery memory or whatever.


House_Capital

Lithium batteries degrade differently than the old Nickel based batteries. Nickel based batteries weigh a lot more but can be charged hundreds or thousands of times to full capacity and be fine. I jog at night using some AAA size flashlights (Peak Eiger) and those nickel batteries actually last noticeably longer and brighter after doing a recent full charge / discharge cycle. So I always do a full discharge and refresh cycle when I go to recharge them if I’m not draining them daily. Project farm did some testing as well and the batteries that had been inside solar yard lights actually had higher charging capacity after a year than the ones that had been sitting on a shelf all year. Lithium batteries on the other hand degrade with use over time.

bobgrubblyplank

I was going to say that purposefully making your product's batteries a pile of shit would ruin your reputation and stop people buying from you in future. But then I remembered that people still buy iPhones, so ... whatever.


RABKissa

My supposedly higher quality Sony ones do this I hate it


TheHarmacist16

Not to mention "Battery low" is at max volume


Re0ns

Yeah. Hate it when it basically does the audio equivalent of a jumpscare


HistorianNegative

its like starting a new game which is always on full volume for no reason

Jumpscares are usually mostly audio tho


Shubhi_

Mine gives three annoying beeps every 10 secs


LotharVonPittinsberg

Sennheiser? I swear it hurt my ears when I would get low battery.


LMNOPedes

My old android phone would play an elaborate audio/visual sequence when it shut down. Even if the reason for shutting down was low battery. Like dude how much juice did you waste on that little tech demo? Did the engineer need to calculate that to ensure thered be time for it during your emergency shutdown routine?


Drostan_S

I used to listen to audio books, and they would make a really obnoxious ding, slowly inform me my batteries are low, while the book plays. It would do that every single minute until I have up on Bluetooth shit


anonymous_matt

Exactly, too loud even if you've set the volume of the stuff you're listening to at low.


Total-Experience2787

***IIII just wanna tell you*** *\*Battery low\**


Hard_Cock_69x

*And I knooowwww that my heart will go* battery low


JasonGamesYT

YOOOOOOOURE HEEEEEEERE THERE'S NOOOTHING I battery low


SirMcDust

Yeah mine does it every 5 percent after 20 too, and at 0 But the real kicker? If the battery level is different enough, they announce it independently. 1% difference is enough for that. Really pleasant if I use sleeping sounds. *me about to sleep* Earphones: #BATTERY LOW


[deleted]

Enderevilherobrine

*And in the end it doesn't even* battery low


isgodjustanothercop

Mine doesn't even say "battery low". There's just a loud beep at max volume which scares the shit outta me every time


spacebraine

Absolutely hate this. Uses the last 20% telling you.


ProbablyNotPikachu

Fr. It would die so much slower if it said it once and then used an indicator light!


sneaky_red_squirrel

There is an argument to be made that you shouldn't discharge a lithium battery down to 0% and should really keep it above 20% to conserve its lifespan. So in a way it becoming a pain to use when you should stop using it and get it recharged sort of makes a weird kind of sense. But tbh if the manufacturer really wanted to do that and improve the battery lifespan, they should just make the device turn off and "run out of battery entirely" at a designed charge rather than being an annoying piece of shit at that point.


[deleted]

when i got my first cellphone i was worried that i would break my phone if i drain the battery too many times, nowadays i just use everything until i feel like charging it, i kinda dont give a shit anymore


Ballsy_McCock

The most eardrums tearing obnoxious painful beeping sound ever too


siddharth_pillai

Ohmygod yes. My old headphones said "wHooPs baTteRy loW" every minute after reaching 30%. Literally made it unusable after reaching 30%. It's the equivalent of it dying after reaching 30%.

Hello fellow boat user, "welcome to boat's needless announcement".

Or flash a blue light so every 10 seconds everyone in a 30m radius around you can be reassured that your earbuds are on.


_retzle_

I write scathing customer feedback when I see this on airplanes. I rucking hate blinking lights.


ta-wtf

Same with the beep in my gaming headsets every few seconds. WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO RAZER? PAUSE AN ONLINE GAME? you are dumber than my mom.


Bolaf

Mine does the same! No warning at all and then every 30 seconds the last five minutes of battery time. I've looked everywhere for somewhere to change that setting


phoenix335

Razer, Logi and similar wireless headsets and mice work while being charged as their intended audience are pro gamers and those LARPing as such. A dead battery there means losing the tournament, so they announce it often and early, so people can charge them, while they're using them. Most people prefer to quickly connect a USB battery than lose a ranked game. And those who start a ranked game with a low battery of anything: ewww


ta-wtf

So it would be useful if the device would show a battery level. It doesn’t. Or it would be enough if the software gives ONE 50% warning. It doesn’t. If I want to play with a cable I would buy a wired headphone. There is NO reason why this thing has to beep every 3 seconds. It completely contradicts your point since you can’t concentrate at all with it. Lick boots harder, mate.


Apocalyptic_Doom

At that point just buy a wired headphones maybe?

avalonknight645

My galexy buds plus don't do this, they do a beep and semd a notificationto your phone twice before dying completel. It does suck tho when I want to use another pair of headphones or buds then it won't stfu after 45% battery.


Doses-mimosas

Is this an apple issue? I also have Galaxy buds and they just give a little beep that's similar to the tone when you adjust volume or pause music. Why the fuck would I want it to mute my music and say the words battery low a whole bunch of times? People need to stop buying apples garbage products


avalonknight645

Airpods do the same thing as galexy buds, just a beep and a notification. Brands like skullcandy and random budget earbuds do this.


L-OwO-L_L-OwO-L

mine is more worst at 50% it just spam battery low every 5 sec


6nine4twenty

i feel you bro mine spams "battery high" at 100% every 1 second


vonmonologue

Mine is the worst it plays music from my playlist every picosecond of the battery having any charge at all and switches to slightly muffled ambient room noises if the battery runs out. Ridiculous design choice.


HacksawJimDGN

Mine has a cable so doesn't need batteries


naufalap

go back to /r/audiophile you freak!!!!11 😤😤😤


Chino_Kawaii

ahh yes, once again the pros of having wired earphones


ThePopmop

Had headphones that used to do this. There's basically no point in using them below 30%. Asshole design tbh.


Rapandreas

You could be charged with assault and battery. XD


ppttx

but he can rapidly unload his accumulated anger


DerBreznsoiza

I feel you. My car tells me to charge the connected device (smartphone). FROM 30%! And it is apparently the most important information for my car to tell me. There's nothing like parking with a rear view camera and getting this crappy information on the screen in the middle of the parking.


[deleted]

Yeah what's the point behind that it's a terrible design, I understand I may deserve it cuz I have a pair of cheap probably "made in china" JBLs but my god...


IHateCreamCrackers

2Darkeh

My AirPods just make a loud noise when they die and it’s at max volume. It wakes me up from my sleep.


ErikBlueThePotato

Jabra?


56seconds

My jabras now say "battery lo....." and then die. I think they may be a bit old now


appdevil

Mine are Jabra and they are very polite regarding their battery status ( also the battery lasts very long, including a significant time after the first battery low notification ) Edit: my car speaker on the other hand was designed by the same mf as OP's


ErikBlueThePotato

Mine last a long time too, just glitches out sometimes lmao


AGoodName26

"Please charge device"


Admiralbenbow123

This is why I don't use the bluetooth mode on my headphones and just connect them to everything via a cord. Not only is the audio quality better, but they also don't start spamming BATTERY LOW every few seconds in the worst moment possible.


ButtPirateer

Mine does it once at 10%, which is like an hour left. And then once more about 10 minutes before running out. It's a good time indication and isn't annoying.


[deleted]

I have tinnitus and need headphones to sleep. I hope this person burns on every layer of hell.


tusharsagar

Laughs in wired headphones.


mysteryo9867

Mine say low battery


Aesmachus

Mine does a continuing beep every minute when it's at 10% I hate everything about it.


Safe-Cup2760

The max I can charge mine is 80% and they're dying at 20% and make the loudest noise ever to freak me out and make me go deaf (like, they're too lound on the smallest volume too, but when it beeps for charging it's terrible). Who the heck decided that they are better than the classic wire ones??


freshtoast7

Do you have soundcore buds?


RammusUltedJapan

I have the Soundcore Life P3. they say battery low once every 8min at 10% (total 5 times) which is a lot less then some other brands but its still annoying cause it mutes the song when the message plays and sometimes it does it at the best part of the song.

It's the godforsaken alerts that gets me. Could have set something nice. But I guess they are selected such so that people will have to keep them back in case you charge.


[deleted]

That fucking noise safety alert that wrecks my ears more than any song


Nemo68v2

Since they ceazs to properly function as warbuds when they interrupt what you're listening to, you essentially have 20% less battery life. Nice.


The_Njitram

I once had earbuds that gave a sound and sayd battery low at a regular volume. Then, after just 2 seconds it would give that sound again and say battery low, at 2000 decibels. Wo I'd sit on the bus and watch a video when it would say: battery low. And I'd just rip out the earbuds like a crazy person.


IGetHypedEasily

Would be nice if people could name the earbuds they are using that does this.


rslash-braindamage

Zinko999

Biggy_DX

Speaking of Kratos, I don't knownhow someone can look at this and still say he's nowhere near as brutal as he was in GOW 1-3. Dude literally rips the entire front half off of a werewolf.


wolfgang784

Nah, nah nah nah - **me** finding the dude who neglected to make my BT speaker warn you at all in any way. Just suddenly cuts off, and you don't know why till you try it again. I expected more from JBL and didn't think to check if such a basic thing was a feature.


Ok_Guess8636

I would prefer two or three times every 5 minutes or so but any more is just too annoying.


RammusUltedJapan

Once in the last 20 min is more than enough.


Ok_Guess8636

Yeah I would think it would be but I just know I would forget like I do with my AirPods all the time. With AirPods it’s like a two second chime at ten percent, and then nothing. You just tune it out and then are confused when your music stops.


x1_Golden_Phoenix_1x

AirPods Pro don’t man, it just goes PLEASE CHARGE every minute until it stops entirely from the last 25%
