Well thats a bummer to hear. I finally pulled the trigger and upgraded to the Pro after a pretty happy/successful run with the originals (1G).
Actually my revelation that the Pros are inferior came on the first day before I even popped them in my ear. You can tell just by holding the 1Gs and the Pros in your hand: note the clearance between the lid and body on the 1G is almost non-existent compared to the Pro - a sign of better build quality. When you pop open the lid on the Pros, you note they dont fit snugly in the case. You can easily wiggle them around making me wonder if the charging contact will be a problem later on.
- theonemind 6y agoGiven the speed with which I had charging problems, it surprises me that I don't hear more people complaining about it. The metal contacts inside the case of mine don't seem to protrude enough. I can usually get it to work again with a q-tip... but not by cleaning. I kind of put it down and swirl it around until it catches on the metal and pulls them out again a bit. Without that, no amount of jiggling or pressing will get charging contact. Then it happens again a few days later. The right side started doing it first. The left one followed a few months later. But, i just had my own 'rattlegate' around the time of this post, and apple replaced the case under warranty for me with the bad pod, at least.
