H9i drains iPhone X battery

4 replies

Hi all,

I recently bought a pair of H9i and really got amazed from the sound and build quality.

However, I noticed that while using them over Bluetooth they are draining my iPhone X's battery pretty quickly (about 20% in 1 and a half hour of music).

While my phone is connected to the cars multimedia system with bluetooth I don't see any extra-ordinary battery drainage.

Anyone experiences the same issue or has some tips?

I have an iphone x and H8.

Personally I don't notice any difference in battery when using BT or simply nothing. But I do feel the battery on the X is much worse than the 6 I had prior.

What does use lots of battery (at least for me) is when the screen is on, more screen on usage, more drain. For me if I really use screen time, I get about 1 day max. Lots of screen standby, about two days.

I have to ask if the OP is running the ios12 beta. My SE drains like my sister on a Saturday night.

I’m still on 11.4.1.

 

Actually today I noticed that while using Waze for 1 and a half hour (screen was on) it consumed 40 percent of my battery, so probably it’s not related to the H9i. Not sure what happened but this started only recently ;(
