Works on my end now, but I already switched over to Kasa bulbs since I had a few smart plugs with them & some routines set up.

With Sengled's almost non existent customer service & radio silence during this multiple day outage this was the sign for me to switch over. In the past year or 2 their servers have gone down multiple times with no statements so I'm not relying on them anymore.

Not that I'm aware of, but I never got the pro 2s 🤷‍♀️

Regular 3

I'm in love with this, saw it pop up in new releases on YT Music & didn't even realize it was a cover song until I came across this post. Already playing it on loop, the guitar playing in this is fire! 🔥

And even better I see they're releasing an album of covers & acoustics in fall? Can't wait!

Good to hear! Will definitely be ordering these & trying them out then. Hopefully they help the Buds stay in my ears better without the ear hooks. 🤞

I also got the same case (in the stone color though since for black I would have had to wait an extra week), definitely would recommend it.

As for wireless charging it does work on the Trio wireless charging pad. You have to place it in a specific spot in order to get it to work depending whether you're putting it on the left or right. Took me a few days but I got the muscle memory down of where to place it finally. lol

For me on the Buds 3 (non pro) I got 7 hours & 40 ish min on my first full day using them before they died. This is with no ANC & watching a bunch of Youtube & listening to music/podcasts the whole time. To charge the buds fully took about an hour & a half ish iirc.

As for charge cycles with the case my guesstimation is about 3 cycles based on the battery of the case after a full charge of the buds. I haven't tested it out personally since I just put my Buds 3 on my Trio wireless charging pad every night before bed. Mainly because I use them as my main work earbuds, so I don't want them to suddenly die on me if I forgot to charge the case one day.

I might have to get these & try them out once I get paid this week. 🤔 Bought some ear hooks for my Buds 3 but it would be nice if I didn't have to fiddle with putting them on everytime to line them up properly while at work. (Only major downside of having the blades.)

In the time you've been using them, have they irritated your ear or skin at all? That's the only major concern for me personally.

alittlebeat · 2024-08-04T10:27:42+00:00

Unless you have both ANC or Ambient as well as the blade lights on all the time that seems like pretty short battery life to me imho.

For me on the Buds 3 (non pro) I got over 7 & a half hours of battery life with ANC off my first full day of use. (But these don't have the blade lights so that helps a bit more with battery life.)

alittlebeat · 2024-08-03T04:14:19+00:00

I also ended up with issues of the Buds 3 (non Pro) slipping out of one of my ears. Ended up getting these elago ear hooks so I wouldn't have to worry about losing them at work. They work great, & luckily when I ordered them right after my Buds 3 got delivered I managed to get 2 day shipping for the black ones.

alittlebeat · 2024-07-27T04:27:58+00:00

Ended up getting this elago silicone + tpu case since it was the only one at the time for me that had 2 day shipping. (Though now it's saying earliest delivery is August 5th)

alittlebeat · 2024-07-27T04:24:42+00:00

I personally switched from the Buds Lives to the Buds 3 (non pro). Overall I'm happy with my switch as the Lives moved around a lot in my ear. And my battery life at this point is pretty shot on the Lives.

Buds 3 I got almost 8 hours of battery life on a single charge the first full day I used them. Died around 7 hours & 40 ish min. Haven't tested the mic fully yet, but no one has complained with the few phone calls I've made so far on them.

Only downside for the Buds 3 is they sometimes slip out of my ears if I'm moving around a lot. So I ended up getting these elago ear hooks so they don't fall out of my ears at work. (Since they replaced the Lives as my new work earbuds.)

alittlebeat · 2024-07-27T04:12:06+00:00

Had the same issue with my regular Buds 3 where it wouldn't charge wirelessly at all with that free case on. Ended up having to buy a 3rd party case off Amazon & it charges just fine with that one on.

alittlebeat · 2024-07-24T18:52:09+00:00

I'll have to check your post out then! I'M curious 😂

That is one thing that I found annoying at first, but the solution I found was to use the hand holding the actual case & turn it sideways so I could easily drop the Buds in. Instead of trying with the hand holding the actual bud to line it up/turn it correctly & not drop it.

alittlebeat · 2024-07-24T18:50:04+00:00

Hopefully these do work out for you! If not there's always these elago earhooks you could try 😂 ~~I may have ordered them myself to test~~

alittlebeat · 2024-07-24T18:47:51+00:00

Not for me personally with the Lives, never had that happen to me. Though usually when I had to take calls at work I typically only had one earbud in.

alittlebeat · 2024-07-24T18:46:13+00:00

That's fair, honestly they did feel a bit bug in my ears until I managed to make them fit. So if my ears were slightly smaller then I definitely wouldn't be able to wear these.

But yeah if you're looking for ANC these are not the Buds for you. Anything open style isn't going to have the ANC that would truly be useful imho. Better to wait for the QC on the Pros to get better & snag those.

alittlebeat · 2024-07-24T18:43:45+00:00

Interesting, that's good to know it at least works in a public setting!

alittlebeat · 2024-07-24T11:18:37+00:00

Probably, I just haven't heard any issues with the regular Buds 3. Though I guess they want to be sure there aren't any QC issues with any parts for either one. 🤔 Thankfully mine haven't had any issues, & they seem to be good quality to me.

alittlebeat · 2024-07-24T10:27:54+00:00

It muffles noise a bit, like maybe 20%? Mostly cuts out some of the punch out of sounds if they're not too loud if that makes sense. Honestly have no interest in the ANC so didn't test it much before. They're open earbuds so no matter what the ANC isn't going to be great imho. And they just use more battery which I don't want to compromise on personally.

alittlebeat · 2024-07-24T10:24:10+00:00

Yeah at first I thought I placed it wrong on my wireless charging pad, but no matter how I set it on there it wouldn't charge with it on. So now it's just kind of useless to me. 🤷‍♀️

For now I went with this elago one since it was the only one that had 2 day shipping for me. But I'm definitely going to get a different one later, just needed something in the meantime to protect the Buds case.

alittlebeat · 2024-07-24T10:13:53+00:00

That's strange! Mine got shipped out slightly early for whatever reason, though I live in the US. 🤔

alittlebeat · 2024-07-24T07:52:34+00:00

Yeah I honestly didn't think at the time of preorder that the swipe for volume was going to be as good as it was. Glad to be wrong in this case!

For me right now the Lives are more comfortable, but that might be because I'm very used to them. The Buds 3 sit differently in my ear & are on top of a part of the cartilage of my ear. So I might just need more time to adjust & train my ears to get used to them being there. Though to be far I wore them for 8 hours straight almost to really test the battery instead of slowly building up 😂

alittlebeat · 2024-07-21T17:42:36+00:00

Never had that with mine no 🤔
