(NEW) JVC Gumy Mini True Wireless Earbuds

I love that these look and feel nice and I can use them in the shower without issue. However, a couple issues arose that eventually made these infuriating. The main problem is that there's virtually no way to turn them off. Once you remove them from the case, they connect automatically, stopping your phone from playing audio--okay, not a problem right? You can just put them back in the case when you're not using them. Except half the time the ear buds would not register being in the case. I had to be careful to push them in very well and make sure they were lined up and even then, they often remained on, meaning my phone's audio wouldn't work and the ear buds lost battery. This was extremely irritating in situations where I was driving but had the ear buds in my pocket. They would constantly dislodge *within the case* and connect to my phone in moments when I needed my phone's audio for GPS for example. I could hold down the end of the one ear bud to power them off, but they would power back on again and reconnect. I get that it's 2022, but if your project is shoddy, is a power switch too much to ask for? It's been a little over a year and the battery no longer works for more than an hour or so--perhaps the fact that they constantly dislodge inside the case where they're supposed to be charging contributes to the issue. Overall, they were fine for the value and I suppose I could make my phone forget the device if it was important. But I'm definitely looking into another brand for my next pair. This one probably took a few hours off my life in some way.
