If Person A loses 1% over a week in standby, and person B loses 20% overnight, it's probably not the battery..

Unless Person B also tells you that in general their air pods only last 30 minutes playing music.

As stated, their percentage of power level fall vs person A is 2000% more being generous (person A said a week, not a night). If it was because of the battery, the air pods would also last way way way less playing music.

You're right. Its definitely the Person.

Except when lithium batteries get old they start to lose double digit percentages in a couple hours. My experience anyway.

Yet when you actually use them, they retain basic the same energy capacity???

Could be either/or. I long ago lost the brassiere that came with my AirPods Max (not really lost, I just can’t be arsed to dig it out of where I think it is) and they’ll drain themselves fairly quickly just trying to throw out stray connections to any of the five or so devices they can connect to unless I make a point of disconnecting them. AirPods Pro exhibit the same exact symptoms when the contact inside the case needs to be cleaned.

I can’t work this out. Is this an autocorrect?

Nope.

A joke about a missing bra, a pair of AirPods, and a wiiiild pair of breasts

Please don’t turn this place into Reddit.

My airpods need a small piece of tissue in the top on one side or they don't charge. Could be a tolerance issue.

There’s a magnetic contact that the “bra” case engages that turns off the headphones so the battery doesn’t needlessly drain. Bunch of companies make after market cases/covers, you should get one of them at least.

I am aware of how it works, that's why I front-loaded the part about the brassiere being MIA at the moment. I just don't care, and I don't take it outside except on the airplane. Next flight I have, I'll probably dig out the brassiere.

Also in my experience, the brassiere was never perfect about guaranteeing the AirPods Max were put perfectly into a sleep state. The same exact issue could sometimes occur, maybe an alignment issue. The AirPods Max sound fantastic, but there's a lot of little details about them where Apple just kind of dropped the ball.
