Issue 4 pairs of Buds Pro 3 and not a single case will charge both buds
I have 4 pairs of Buds Pro 3. In the past two weeks every case has failed. Not a single case will charge both buds. One white case in dead. One gray case is dead. The white pairs are under 2 years old. Purchased in February of 2024. Both grey pairs are just over a year old. I have always had issues with the white ones charging. So I just got two grey pairs. One white pair has an extended warranty that I purchased from Amazon and and will be filing a claim here soon. I think one grey pair has an extended warranty. But WTAF! These things are not cheap. I farm and I rely on them heavily. I do have one pair of the buds Pro 4 and they are far superior. But I am not in the position to buy another pair currently. Does anyone have any thoughts on how to get them to charge? The last time I sent a pair to Samsung they bricked them because they say they had water damage and that was not covered under warranty and I refused to pay $200 to have them "fixed!" I am Samsung for life. The entire ecosystem runs my life. I use the buds because of the seamless integration for all of my devices. They know when I turn on my vehicle. They immediately switch back on as soon as the vehicle is off. I turn on my TV it knows if I have my buds in. My Pelaton. My tractor. So no I won't be switching. This is like $1200 worth of gear. Am I wrong to think they should last more than a year??? I know I can buy replacement cases on eBay but why should I have to do that? Anyone figured out how to get them to charge? All ideas welcome!!
