You’re working, listening to music. Or you are about to join a video call using Skype, Teams, Zoom… Or even worse, you are in the middle of that call. And suddenly, your Bluetooth connected headphones disconnect randomly. You try to re-connect, but it’s not working. You check your headphones batteries and they’re full.
