(NEW) Samsung Galaxy Buds FE True Wireless Bluetooth Earbuds

I had the Samsung Galaxy Buds Plus for 4 years and used them everyday so needless to say, I got my monies worth but they started malfunctioning after so much use. It was time for some new buds. Since I loved those, I decided to get these as the "upgrade". Grab a snack, this may be long. After using these everyday for 6 months, I can accurately describe the experience. I keep one ear bud in my ear at work with ambiant sound turned on so I can still hear clients through my music. The Samsung Galaxy Buds Plus lasted 6 hours until I needed to put it on the charging case and switch to the right ones. These? Oh man. They have made me so mad at work. One ear bud in my left ear lasts 4 hours until it dies. 4. Hours. That is ridiculous. Even if there's 0 music playing, it still eats a ton of power. It is inconvenient to have to go back to my purse and switch out buds. Especially on days I work 13 hours straight. They do charge quickly I admit, but it is still time consuming to stop what I'm doing to switch them out. Yesterday was the last straw and I had 0 time to go to my purse to switch them so I was without my music the rest of the shift. I deal with tons of people at my job, and it's nice to have uplifting music humming in my ear and I can still hear everything around me. Although these do reach the same distance as my old ones and I can leave my phone on the front desk and walk 50 feet to the back of my shop with 0 issues or disruptions. (until it dies in a couple of hours of course). However. Here's another very frustrating part. When I walk my dog, I wear thicker pants since we walk in the woods a lot and it's snake season here. I keep my phone, or would like to keep my phone in my pocket, but my music constantly skips like a scratched CD! How can it lose reception when it's 2 feet away from my phone? I have gotten in the habit of tucking my phone under my arm just so I can enjoy my music. I shouldn't have to do this when I spent $80 on them. They stay in my ear perfectly, I love the design and programmable buttons, and I'm not even mad at the price. I want to love these, I just wished they lasted a little longer like my old ones. And didn't skip with my phone in my pocket - _-
