Hey everyone,

I’m running into a frustrating issue with my Soundpeats C30 true wireless earbuds, and I’m hoping someone here has found a fix or can point me in the right direction.

Over the last few days, I’ve noticed a massive battery drain asymmetry between the left and right earbuds. They start off perfectly fine, but within a 3 to 4-hour window of mixed-to-normal use, the left earbud drains significantly faster than the right one.

Here is exactly what’s happening:

Baseline: Both earbuds and the charging case show a full 100% charge in the app when first taken out.

A few hours in: The left earbud plummets down to 60%, while the right earbud is sitting comfortably at 90%.

Listening Mode: I primarily keep them on Normal Mode (ANC and Transparency are turned off), so active noise cancellation shouldn't be the culprit behind the heavy drain on one side.

What I’ve Already Tried:

I’ve gone through the standard troubleshooting checklist to rule out simple software glitches, but nothing has worked so far:

Unpairing & Repairing: Cleared the Bluetooth profile from my phone and paired them fresh.

Factory Reset: Followed the standard Soundpeats reset procedure (placing them in the case and holding the button/touch panels) to clear any sync errors.

Cleaning the Contacts: Made sure the charging pins inside the case and on the left earbud are pristine to ensure it's actually pulling a full charge, not just reporting a ghost 100%.

Despite all of this, the same rapid drain pattern happens every single session.

Questions for the Community:

Master/Slave Assignment: Does the Soundpeats C30 assign one earbud as the primary receiver? If the left earbud is carrying the heavy lifting for the Bluetooth connection and microphone, could that explain a 30% variance, or is this too extreme?

Firmware Glitch: Has anyone experienced a bug with recent app updates where battery telemetry is just being reported incorrectly?

Hardware Failure: Am I likely looking at a degraded lithium cell in the left earbud that needs an RMA/warranty replacement?

If anyone has solved a similar uneven drain issue with these or other Soundpeats models, I’d love to hear how you did it. Thanks in advance!

Pic 1: all at 100%

Pic 2: Left is 60% down while right is still down to 90%

Pic 3: same story. All happening within 3 4 hours.

I've tried everything, repairing etc. can't seem to solve it.

Any help will be appreciated.

Hey everyone!

I’ve been testing out Vetiver Bliss from Hasan Oud lately, and it’s been quite a journey. If you’re a fan of earthy scents but want something that feels "evolved," this might be right up your alley.

​The Scent Journey

​The opening is a bit of a curveball. It starts with a sharp, spicy kick and a very familiar earthy, "khus-like" Hatian vetiver. For the first hour, it feels very traditional—reminiscent of the high-quality vetiver oils or attars we are used to in India.

​The Twist: Within an hour, the fragrance undergoes a massive transformation. It sheds its traditional "attar" vibe and morphs into a high-end, Western-style niche perfume. The dry down is where the complexity shines, blending Leather and Amber into the base. It becomes smooth, sophisticated, and incredibly "arid" in the best way possible.

​Vibe & Character

​Mature & Masculine: This isn't a playful, sweet scent. It has a very mature profile, ideally suited for a man aged 35+. It commands respect and gives off a "settled and professional" aura.

Weather Performance: This is a champion for hot and dry weather. That arid earthiness really thrives when the sun is out.

​Performance

​Skin vs. Clothes: On the skin, the Amber and Leather add a warm, personal depth. However, if you want that crisp Vetiver derivative to last, spray it on your clothes. It clings to fabric for a remarkably long time, staying fresh and woody throughout the day. Even though its faint.

​Final Verdict

​It’s a tale of two halves: starting as a classic Indian khus and ending as a polished, leather-backed Western masterpiece. If you appreciate a fragrance that evolves as you wear it, this is a solid addition to your collection.

​My Rating: 8.5/10

​Has anyone else tried this or other offerings from Hasan Oud? Would love to hear if you got the same spicy-to-leathery transition!
