> Listen all day long. > Get up to 5 hours with a single charge,

If quarantine has taught me anything, it's that 5 hours is not all day lol. I've switched to wired headphones because my wireless weren't working for me working/walkingaround/etc all day, unlike when I was working and I'd only wear them during the commute in, gym, and commute home.

> 10-minute charge of earbuds in the wireless charging case delivers up to 2 hours of listening time and up to 1 hour of talk time.

I think it could work for me given the case provides 24 hours of listening time. I sure don't mind taking 10 minutes break every 2 hours or so.

Disc: Googler.

I have a Bluetooth headphone with 14 hour life and keeping track of the battery and remembering to charge it is already really distracting.

2 hours sounds like an absolute nightmare.

It's a different mindset. The buds charge in a case so whenever you're doing anything else you just drop them in. They charge very fast so I can go days without realizing the battery is draining just by habits. It's only when I don longer session that I hit it.

I recently gave in and picked up a Fiio BTR3. 11 hours, decent quality, and I get to continue using my nice, comfortable IEMs. I'll probably wind up getting a better-quality unit in the future. Even though it's still one more thing to charge, at least the sound is decent (not on the same level as a desktop amp, but I wouldn't expect that).

I think they may be working on the metric day of 10 hours.

Which we'll all be working on when the surface of the planet becomes inhabitable and the survivors have to live underground.
