now, onto your issue.... I havent had any issues with the rest. I started buying them about 6 months ago. but i have had issues with headphones not charging, that i purchased from other brands, and i can think of 2 scenarios that you might be doing wrong which would cause them to malfunction.
PLEASE NOTE that im not accusing you of doing this, these are just scenarios that you might want to consider.
1) you are not wiping them often. sometimes, there is residue from ear wax or dried sweat that starts building on them, and can be buiding on the charging connectors. I wipe my ears every morning, but wear earbuds all day when im at work, and i notice that after a whole day, there is new earwax buildup. it is just a sliver, but it might build up over time. same thing with sweat, if you wear them to the gym, sweat might be drying up on the connectors, or even worse, sipping onto the inside of the earbud.
my recommendation is to wipe them every 2 or 3 days. which leads me to my next scenario
2) you are wiping them with a damp paper towel or regular dissinfecting wipes, and the moisture is sipping in and causing oxidation.
in that scenario, my recommendation is to stop wiping them with any product that contains any water at all, even if it is a small percentage, and instead, wipe them with rubbing alcohol wipes. sams club has a pack that comes with like 1000 tiny wipes for like 8bucks. that is what i use for mine. since it is straight alcohol on, you dont have to worry about oxidation, and it also kills all the bacteria that forms on them and gets rid of the ear wax smell.

i own 4 other jabra earbuds and these are the only ones that have given me this issue. i returned both sets.
