Status report: my earbuds lasted about 12 hours before I had to recharge them. The case was draining pretty fast so now that's also charging.
The case is supposed to charge the batteries, and it was doing that like gangbusters, but then it ran out of juice to charge the earbuds. I'm sitting at a charging table in Seattle and this coffee sucks.
Everybody who said Seattle coffee was the shit, line up to the right for bitch smacks.
