This is a typical sign of XM3 battery aging, and it affects the experience more than simply using it for a few hours less.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Normal aging is usually gradual. Some users have used it for more than two years, and the battery life is still close to its original state; others have significantly reduced battery life after a year and a half. Individual differences vary greatly. However, once &#8220;the&nbsp;<strong><u><a href=\"https:\/\/www.batteriesfast.co.uk\/headphones-battery\/Sony\/LIS1662HNPC\/1749087\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sony WH-1000XM3 Headphones Battery<\/a>&nbsp;<\/u><\/strong>seems normal in the middle and suddenly collapses at low battery&#8221;, it often means that the internal resistance of the battery has increased significantly and the output cannot be stable. A clearer warning is: when the battery power is lower than 40%, the noise reduction will fail first, and the noise reduction will suddenly turn off, causing intermittent noise or the noise floor will increase. This is because the noise reduction chip requires stable power supply, and the aging battery cannot sustain peak power consumption when the battery is low.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition, even if the library machine has been idle for a long time, even if it looks brand new, it may experience a power drop and abnormal noise reduction due to battery passivation.
