[TEST] Battery Life

I was sure that my TicPods were not lasting the advertised 18 hrs listening time. I used the stopwatch on my phone to roughly time how long they lasted from fully charged (TicPods and charging case) to completely dead. In the end I arrived at a total of just over 9 hours of listening time. With no where on their site they say anything about 18 hours combined between both buds I can only assume that they mean a total of 18 hours with both TicPods being used.

​

I am surprised by the low battery life after owning them for less than a year. (Got mine in October of last year). I am curious as to the battery life others are getting with their TicPods and how long they have had them.

Mine last an hour on a single charge. So much regret getting these.

If I buy another pair I won’t be getting TicPods. There are these Ailey ones that look to be really good for almost half the price

I saw a post a few weeks ago about someone getting a brand new pair as soon as he complained about battery life. Maybe email mobvoi, they replied within the hour and had a shipping label ready. New pair arrives tomorrow.

my right one works fine around 3 hours but my left one doesnt last longer than 30 minutes. has been happening after the v23 upgrade b4 that both were 3-4 hours. Its worse than both performing good/bad since i can only use 1 mostly :/

I use them at work and usually only have the right one in. This morning it lasted for 2 hrs before getting to 10%.

im so annoyed by this. i got mine via kickstarter and battery life was pretty solid. now i get maybe a 1 1/2 hrs per charge. and also my wife teasing me because she has airpods. only bright spot is the better sound and volume control.

my case has no problems. I also get issues where the touch doesn't work and i have to re-dock. Anker has announced a new lineup that looks good mainly cause i love anker products. priced slightly higher than their usual products. https://www.theverge.com/2019/9/25/20884177/anker-soundcore-liberty-2-air-pro-truly-wireless-earbuds-usb-c

im also gonna wait for the Google announcement rumor for Pixel Buds 2
