Hey guys! Quick update to my experiences I've posted earlier. I joined the drop in September-ish
EDIT: Update 2/22/17: They've shipped me a replacement unit! Thanks MD!!! Very friendly and attentive support in my experience!
The headphones have stopped taking a charge. They last for less than a minute and the bluetooth name has changed from Mee Audio X7 Plus to "CSR - bc7" which I believe is simply the callsign for the bluetooth communicator thingy in the headphones. Very disappointed to say the least! I can't believe these didn't even last four months. Trying to contact support right now but I'm thoroughly disappointed in a $60-odd dollar purchase not lasting more than a few months. I was really happy to recommend these to everyone a couple of months back, but now I take it all back. I mean, for the few months they worked, these headphones were brilliant. However, for the money, it's not worth the headache these have given me this past week.
Just to be clear, I don't take these things out in the rain, I am careful with how I put them away, I charge them every night, and I'm cautious with them in general. Cannot see what I must have done to kill these things, but alas, they may be more fragile than I thought.

michael_areThis is quite distressing. Mine just arrived yesterday. I'm curious about whether the battery is susceptible to being depleted by charging too much. With laptop computer and cellphone batteries, I've been told not to leave them plugged into a charger with a full battery, as this is said to shorten the life of the battery. So when you charge your X7 every night, do you unplug them once they've been fully recharged? Again, I don't know whether this is actually a risk for the battery used in the X7, but if so, then perhaps I can avoid this problem. Thanks for sharing!

David_RYeah I've also heard that. Some days I would drain them, then I would just plug em in as I sleep and then take em out in the morning. Yeah no problem!

David_RProvided they are lithium batteries (I don't know how they would get the size or use time without using lithium) then leaving them plugged in shouldn't damage the batteries. Lithium batteries self regulate, that is they draw less and less current as they get closer to full charge. Leaving them plugged in would only be dangerous if the battery controller used institutes some sort of cut off where it disconnects the charging circuit completely until the battery depletes past a certain level and then reconnects. This isn't a normal charging profile for Lithium battery control systems though, most equipment is designed with complex controllers that charge using complex charging profiles. What would be bad for the battery though is depleting it past around 20% which does lower the battery life. Leaving laptops or phones plugged in won't hurt them so long as it's not permanently, it does pay to discharge them down to 20% regularly.
