I love my hearing protection headset. It warns you when there's about 1h of battery left, then at 30m, then 10m.

That's it.

    It's more like 'BETWEEN 6 AND 12 HOURS PLAYTIME REMAINING.'

    I don't know why companies that should know better don't just stick with simple beeps. Sennheiser, you fucking idiots.

    I can't even use Bluetooth earphones at this point because of this.
    They just make me anxious, I am constantly expecting to be startled by random loud voice at any point.

    I have a nice shower speaker that, when low on power, begins beeping every 5 seconds, with at least three times the volume of the music

    I get it, just give me 2 goddamn minutes to finish showering and then I'll charge you!

    Thick American Accent: "Power on” "Connected" "Pairing"

    Thick Japanese accent: "Low Battery, Please Recharge Headset."

    I do not understand why we are not allowed to just disable this feature.

    Do you want to constantly check your settings page for the battery percentage?

    I want them to just turn off when the battery is gone.

    If they want to make a single low volume alert at some low level telling me how much battery remains, that's an extra. Anything else is hostile bullshit.

    I paid for the whole battery let me use the whole battery, I don't need it to tell me battery low every 2 minutes for half an hour.

    If you don't need to filter out lots of noise, you can alternate to use one buds at the time for long study/work session. So the other one can keep charging in the case. Otherwise, a female audio jack/usbc adapter with some good old cable headphones.
