My Go Pods have developed a rather irritating new fault to add to the intermittent other faults that still sometimes occur for me and that I have shared on here over the months.
I pretty much only wear the Go-pods when out walking, and now they have started dropping out when I am on the move but when I stand still to try and rectify the issue they start to play back perfectly. So I stand still for 1,2 or 3 minutes and they are fine, but as soon as I start walking again the drop outs start immediately. I have MMCX connectors attached to my Go-pods and after a few months or so they were giving me all kinds of issues and I got them replaced after reporting this to support. The new connectors are now following a similar pattern of failure I reckon. The other annoying thing I find is the touch controls are a law unto themselves, the slightest touch or movement can cause them to pause whatever I'm listening to, or switch to another podcast on Youtube, lower or raise the volume to irritating levels. If there was a way to disable touch controls it would be a godsend, I do not need them although I understand many others will.
I will raise another ticket summarising this post but tbh I am at the end of my tether with these things and I am actually thinking of selling them, but then I think I'd just be in for a whole world of trouble as whoever bought them would think I'd sold them a faulty product and look for their money back. Maybe these things just aren't meant to be used on the move, does anybody else wear them while walking, running, at the gym etc and find they have no issues?
@iFi audio - Bubba, can any of the issues that I and others are reporting (especially drop outs) be fixed with a FW update? I don't religiously follow this thread so I am maybe missing suggestions that could help rectify what I experience, or info about future fixes on the horizon.
When the Go Pods work they are a fantastic product, maybe I'm just unlucky with my use case (mainly on the move), or maybe they are faulty who knows?
I'm sorry to be so negative with this post, but it is pretty much every day that I have issues (apart from a short period when the connectors were replaced) and I know you are fighting the good fight Bubba, so just want to put that on record.
