      Just FYI. Got them 2 hours ago, they were working. Firmware update appeared, started to install it, failed at 9% and since then the left earbud doesn't work anymore. I mean at all, not only sound, it's not recognised by the case when put in or pulled out, touch button doesn't work, so I can't reset them. Left earbud is bricked.
      Very stupid design that you can only update via bluetooth and if the update fails it can brick the earbuds and you can't try to update again through bluetooth.
