They deliberately make their products worse

I believe JBL has actively chosen to make their newer Quantum 810s worse to make users opt for newer models. for the last 5 years I've owned multiple Quantum 810s, all have worked fine. this week my last one broke so I bought a new one. the range of the dongle has gotten so much worse, it's baffeling. I used to be able to walk around the entire house and not have any problems, clear audio no matter where I went. now I can't even get out of my own room without there being a bunch of noise. at first I thought it might be a faulty product so I returned it and bought a different one of the same model. nope, this one is just as terrible. showing to me this is an intentional choise. JBL you're a terrible company that screws over it's users by deliberately making your products worse over time.
So I've had this headset for 15 months and it's holding strong a full charge lasts it 3 days It's range is about 4 yards with interference and it's been darn near indestructible Only parts that have broken are one of the war mountings that I drilled back on and the mic but other than that it had endured being crushed slapped played with by a toddler and time
1st time using and charged for about 5 min then it wouldn't charge anymore. Charging light would flash red for a sec then turn off. Tried multiple outlets and cables. Brand new and doesnt work

Static, squealing, high pitched alarm sound in ear
on December 20, 2023
Posted by: someone disappointed
I was super excited to try these out. Man am I disappointed. The sound is great, fits my head well but within an hour of using them, I heard a pop then a weird static like the speakers are blown in the right side. Then the static turned into a high pitch squealing and then what sounded like an alarm, I had to restart my PC to stop the alarm sound but the static was still there.
I updated my drivers, restarted pc, fully charged the headset and tried again. Now it randomly has static which sounds like the speaker is blown, but it's random and not all the time. When the headset is working,the sound is great.

Thanks for reaching out. Please try to connect our JBL Quantum 810 Wireless to a mobile phone via Bluetooth. Try to pair it with other devices and different applications as well to test if it continues to be static. For us to try further troubleshooting if the issue continues to happen even with multiple devices, please contact our customer support so we can further assist you.
There is now play/stop/skip buttons. Maybe the reason for that is it is able to connect both on RF2.4GH and Bluetooth, so which one stream would you like to stop if listening to both? But since there is no buttons for that, and I use a lot, I will give 4 stars.
Finally, a headset that does not randomly crack for no reason. The quality is really good and the sound is perfect. However, when I have standby time on, the headset is supposed to turn of after a certain amount of time when no audio is playing. But it randomly turns off even when audio is playing, especially when the battery is around 50%. Its not a big deal, I just have it always on, then it does not do it, but I think its worth mentioning.
