Hi SemiSatisfied, We regret to hear about the battery issue with your Sony wireless in-ear headphones. This is definitely not the customer experience we want you to have. To isolate and hopefully resolve this issue, please make sure to update the firmware of your headphones: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/wireless-headphones-bluetooth-headphones/wf-1000xm4/manuals. The updates improve the general performance of the unit and resolves any possible software-related issues. When charging, make sure that the headset is set into the charging case securely. If the earbud tips are not properly attached to the headset, the headset may not charge with the supplied charging case. Check that the earbud tips are attached properly when you store the headset in the charging case. If still the same, reset and initialize them to factory settings to further isolate the issue: - https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/wf1000xm4/v1/en/contents/TP1000428696.html - https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/wf1000xm4/v1/en/contents/TP1000428697.html Should you need further assistance, you can email us at socialsupport@am.sony.com with the following details: Name: Sony website Username: Model Number: Issue: Telephone Number: Sincerely, Vincent
