This is actually really useful to know. I have some Bose QuietComfort 35s that I use for work calls. I'll need to replace at some point and I've read a lot of positive things about the Sony equivalents. But it's a common use case that I realise my battery is low in the middle of the day (or in the middle of a call!) and I need to plug them in.

Even the Bose isn't great here because plugging it in causes a Bluetooth disconnect and reconnect which sometimes confuses Windows. So I have to power off, plug in, power on. But I can at least use it as a wired headset then.

Not to pick on you but why: "Sony WH-1000XM3 everything about that product is awesome"

Instead of: "Everything about Sony WH-1000XM3 is awesome"

Or: "I love the Sony WH-1000XM3, everything about it is awesome"?

It's a growing trend but unlike others (which are often down to regional differences), I can't figure out why people do this.

But doesn't it charge quickly enough that it's not too much of an issue?
