My problem with them isn’t that the software is beta but rather that there is only a single person (megi) doing all the heavy lifting for pine in their free time and they’re the only reason why the pinephone even remotely works.
I’m annoyed that pine’s software support concept is to hope that somebody will do all the work.
This happens all the time with my PineBuds. It’s infuriating
Mine died :(
Mine eventually did too :(
I’m on the lookout for better headphones, but I feel like I’m going to be stuck with a cable for a while, since BT is so bad
I switched to the Jlab mini buds it helps at all
How do you like them? How long have you had them?
I’ve had them for a few weeks and I really like how small they are.
Pros:
They are super small and light
built in ANC that can be adjusted
solid sound quality including bass
decent battery life (a few days of use for me)
Cons:
ANC isn’t great
small size means they get lost easier
Proprietary app needed to change settings
Audio flakes out in areas with lots of RF congestion
I’m glad I stopped at the pinephones. They fucking suck
Well, they do constantly state everywhere it’s tech made for tinkering with, not made to be used as a regular consumer.

Also the hardware is dogshit and their QC is too
