I’ve had 3 pairs of Apple Airpods. All three of them eventually had problems with charging. One bud would be full charge and the other empty. Sometimes I’d put them in the case and the light indicates they are charging but come back later and they didn’t charge at all. Does Google’s pods suffer the same issue?

I haven't had this issue with my Pixel Buds Pro over the last 2 years. They hold their charge surprisingly well.

Is this common? Asking because I went through multiple pairs of airpods (due to upgrades and just straight up losing a pair), and I’ve never encountered such an issue (and none of my friends encountered it either). I had a problem occur like once every year or two where one airpod just refuses to work, but a quick unpair/pair cycle solves it.

  It’s common enough that there are posts about this issue if you do a search for it.

    Given the insane sales numbers of airpods and their prevalence, I am not surprised there are some people who would have it. Given large enough userbase for a product, someone is bound to have an issue like that. I am just curious how prevalent it actually is in terms of a bit more hard numbers. Not asking you to produce those numbers, because I doubt they are actually available. I am just mostly wondering outloud.

      I wonder too and I think it’s below the number of users with issues with the butterfly keyboard but much higher than a trivial percentage.

I was seeing the same with my Pixel Buds. I've started to give them a little extra nudge when I put them back in the case and that has seemed to eliminated the issue for me.

  I’ve had to move around my airpods to get them to charge but often times when i close the case they stop charging. I will never again Apple headphones.
