Hello, I am really into technology and Xiaomi gadgets. However, here in Guayaquil, Ecuador, I bought these headphones and initially everything was fine, the sound was good, but after using and testing the hours promised by Xiaomi, truthfully in off mode they don't even reach 7 hours. On occasions, they only last 5 hours with the latest models. I complained in the store and they gave me new ones, but unfortunately, they perform the same. I changed the codecs from aptx to AAC as mentioned on the Xiaomi global page, but I still got the same results. It concerns me that the manufacturer does not actually deliver as promised.
