Hi Drizzly,

We are very sorry to hear that your charging case has stopped responding. We understand how disappointing this is, especially when you have only owned them for a month. Before considering a return or replacement, please try the following troubleshooting steps to see if we can restore the connection:

1. Please ensure you are using the original Sony USB-C cable provided in the box.

2. Connect it to a USB AC adaptor capable of supplying an output current of 0.5 A (500 mA) or more.

3. Leave the case plugged in for at least 2 hours. Even if the LED stays dormant initially, it may eventually turn on once it reaches a minimum threshold.

4. If the earbuds are not "detecting" the case, it is often due to a buildup of microscopic skin oils or dust on the charging interface. Use a dry cotton swab or a soft cloth to gently clean the gold contact pins inside the charging case and the corresponding contact points on the earbuds.

If the hardware is clean but the issue persists, please attempt the following:

Reset the headset: https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/2963/v1/en/contents/TP1000783924.html

Factory Reset the headset: https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/2963/v1/en/contents/TP1000783925.html

If these steps do not resolve the issue. Please contact our technical support team for personalized assistance:

Hi RolandeR, thanks for choosing and purchasing our product. We understand your feedback regarding the earbud tips of your Sony unit. For the earbuds losing their ability to stay in place, it's important to ensure that the earbuds are worn properly and that the earbud tips are firmly and completely attached. You might need to select earbud tips that best fit your ears. The Sony | Headphones Connect app can be used to measure the air-tightness of the earbud tips and find the optimal size. Additionally, regular cleaning of the earbuds and tips is recommended to maintain their fit and performance. Please check these links for more details:
