I feel like the “gets better over time” thing really depends on how you grip them when you take them out. I’ve had mine for maybe six weeks and I still accidentally skip tracks if I grab them too fast. I wouldn’t call it a dealbreaker, but it’s definitely not something that fully disappears for everyone.
I actually think they wear out a lot slower than people expect. I’ve had mine for a while now and the only reason I switched to a new one was because I lost it, not because it stopped working. The one I had still felt like it was doing its job right up until I misplaced it.
I think the real sign is just whether you’re still seeing scratches come out. If you’re buffing and the marks are still fading, it’s still working. The cloth doesn’t have some hidden expiry date. It’s not like it suddenly turns into a regular rag overnight.
One thing I noticed is that it does get less effective if the cloth itself gets dirty. I wiped mine on a spot I hadn’t cleaned properly and it seemed to struggle after that. I rinsed it out and it was fine again. So if yours seems like it’s slowing down, maybe give it a wash before you assume it’s dead.
I think if you’re really worried about it, maybe just set it up somewhere you can check on it occasionally if you’re home. But for leaving it running while you’re out, I’d probably just try it once and see what happens. If it’s still recording when you get back, then great, problem solved. If not, you know for next time.
I have used mine with just the left one a few times and the translation still worked fine. The app seems to just treat it like a normal Bluetooth headset when only one is connected. I mostly do it for calls around the house and haven’t had to touch any settings.
Oh nice, a brick wall setup sounds pretty solid honestly. I’d probably go for it, the screen is light enough that you don’t need to overthink the mounting.
Honestly, I’ve gotten a solid 12 hours out of mine on a few trips, but it does seem to drop off fast once it starts fading. Might just be how the battery behaves near the end. Still works fine for a full evening though.
I’ve got one in a room that gets blasted by sun all afternoon and honestly it takes the edge off enough for me to nap. The remote is handy for turning it down without getting up, but I wouldn’t call it life changing or anything. It’s fine for what it is.
I think people overthink this one. Mine works fine from across the room, no issues. Maybe if you hide it behind a big metal desk or something it could be a problem, but for normal use it’s not a big deal.
I think the app works fine for what it is. I used the live preview to line up a shot on my paddleboard and it did the job without any major issues.
I haven’t used the listen and repeat mode for serious practice, but I feel like it’d probably do the job well enough for basic stuff. It’s not like you need perfect accuracy if you’re just checking your own sound before a trip.
Alright, good to know. Sounds like the ice is more of a bonus feature than a must-have. I’ll probably just start with water and see how it goes, and maybe toss some ice in if I’m feeling fancy. Thanks for the input everyone.
I just keep mine in the back of my wallet and toss my passport in the cover when I travel. Haven’t had any issues with either not working, so I wouldn’t stress about stacking them if it’s already set up.
Honestly, I barely even think about mine. I just put it on and forgot about it. The water feels a little softer I guess, but I never actually checked the filter to see what it caught.
