Why isn't wireless charging a thing yet? Nikolai Tesla had this shit figured out a century ago and we're still stuck using wires to transmit power.

or even gyroscopic recharging. If a watch can wind itself by wrist movements, why can a headset not charge up from head movement

or body heat emitted while wearing it
maybe it's not enough for a full charge but it could extend the life.

>>103214202
It is, it's just super crazy inefficient compared to just plugging shit in. Even contact wireless chargers suffer huge losses.

The worst I had was this small bluetooth headset for phones (two earbuds connected by wires). When the battery was nearing its end, every 10 or 15 seconds there would be a "Battery low" speech warning above the music. I'M RIDING MY BICYCLE RIGHT NOW, I'LL BE HOME IN 15 MINUTES! I'M DOING ALL I CAN YOU FUCKINghsiAksgjdfdGSDDGWEUEUEHJEFJEFJ
This was 2 years ago at least and I'm still snapping, just remembering this.

Only the Bluetooth shit. If it has it's own RF unit and can also be used wired, then it's based.

Not sure I need your sympathy, Anon

The headphones in
>>103214156
are the absolute best wireless headphones I ever owned, I use them constantly and for everything, including the gym and they can take on anything. The battery lasts a long time and I have no issues with it after 2 years of use

Sure they maybe they are a bit below others in sound quality that other wired headphones can give you but the convenience that wireless brings puts them above everything else for everyday use

This. Have XM3 and XM4, both excellent headsets. Thinking of getting XM5, but not sure if it's worth it.
>>
>>103214385
personally i'm grateful for being able to actually turn off my device, knowing that if it has no power it must actually be off.

there will come a day when people have no choice and simply have to trust that when they turn something off it is off, without knowing for sure if the device is still listening or whatever.

The XM's were a decent pair of cans until the ANC mics went haywire sending a deafening SCREECH blasted into my ears. They were past the 1yr manufacturer's warranty so into the trash they went.

In retrospect I probably could have lawyered up and threatened to sue for hearing damage
>>
>>103218179
They’re good for music and podcasts but bad for shows movies and games because of bluetooths latency. Even ones with their own 2.4ghz adapter have latency, and there’s not many of those around

>Nikolai Tesla had this shit figured out
No.
He wrongly believed electromagnetism moved in longitudinal waves.
But in reality it moves in transverse waves.

This makes a huge difference in how you can transfer power wirelessly.
If it was longitudinal waves all you needed was some wave generator and anything could tap into the wave energy easily.
But with transverse waves you need to point both the transmitter and receiver in the right direction.
>>
>>103218275
The bullshit thing about 2.4GHz is often it's still bluetooth underneath. If the specs say 30ms latency then it's aptx or lc3 for newer headsets. Real wireless has sub 10ms latency.
>>
>>103214156
Why can't we disable the announcements? We can't even reduce the volume. Sometimes you're just chilling or drifting to sleep and the fucking thing blasts your ears with an announcement
What did Sony mean by this?
>>
>>103218275
>I have never actually used Bluetooth for shows and movies but here is my opinion...
The video gets perfectly synced to the audio.
Latency doesn't matter one bit.
Even when you switch between Bluetooth and internal speakers the video is paused or skipped ahead to sync to the new audio output.
>>
>>103218343
You will charge the headset and you will be happy.
>>
>>103218422
Yeah but I don't need the thing to scream at me
>>
>>103218266
Same happened to me. It's also comes up a lot if you search for it now. Always a year and a few months after purchase so out of warranty. Blattant planned obsolescence. My right ear still hears funny.

I wish there were chargers that automatically cut the current when they feel the battery is charged to over 80%. I assume this should be possible since the higher the charge the lower the amperage is, right?

here's a million dollar idea: USB chargers with a built-in shut-off timer

deluxe version detects when nothing is plugged into the usb and then resets the timer to the last value you set when something becomes plugged in again

This is inexcusable on anything but TWS sets.

>>103216472
This is a huge problem with XM5s, the wear detection is just a tiny pressure sensor on the left ear cup and if you use it a lot it will just stop functioning eventually. I'm charging at least 2x more than I should because of this retarded design.
>>
>>103219595
I cut small strips from a fabric bandaid and that made a huge difference. It's not just staying put, but also with the audio quality coming out of my iToddlerPods improved since they're properly seated in my ears.

I own a tesla coil. It fucks with electronics. It causes my keyboard that's several meters away to sperg out. The electric field is too much of a problem for it to be useful, not to mention it's massively inefficient for real power transfer.

The quality of these sony headsets are shit. The worst part is that there's a manufacturer's defect which causes the hinges to break, and if you try to complain to sony the $5/hr indian tells you to fuck off.

>>103218275

latency only matters for interactive use, i.e. video games
for shows and movies you can always adjust the a/v offset however you want

1. they sound even worse without a battery (no DSP)
2. you aren't carrying an aux cable with you at all times, are you? that would defeat the point of having wireless headphones
>>
Only a problem when I forget to plug it in before I go to bed (rarely) but then it is fucking annoying
However "fucking annoying" in this case is limited to being a wired headset which is what I would have 100% of the time if I did not get the wireless one
imagine being a landlocked gamer. Imagine having to pause your music or miss out on banter because you went to go make a coffee. Pathetic.

I actually look down upon you. Scum.
