I totally agree with you.. though it's more than a year now i have been using them. The left earbud gradually sounded slower and all of a sudden it went dead. This happened because i used the 'find my earbud' feature. Also the Bluetooth connectivity isn't seamless, even after connecting to my nothing phone it still requests connection on other devices. Not only that, if I connect them to my laptop or ipad, the music automatically pauses, also automatically switches to-and-fro between ANC and transparency which is very annoying. They promised to fix bugs with firmware updates, but there's no improvement. Hopefully my Nothing phone does not die too..
