Jaybird Runs freeze and wont turn off
On several occasions over the past few months (maybe once a week), my Jaybird Run headphones get into a state where they come on, give the usual battery and connection sounds and words, and then do not play any audio. My phone shows them being connected. When they get into this state, they also cannot be turned off by long-pressing the buttons on the headphones. Manually unpairing does not change this. Turning off the phone does not change this. When they get into this state, the only thing I have found works is to put them into the case (which turns them off) and then reopening the case. Unfortunately that's not an option when I'm running with them, which is sort of the point of Jaybird *Run* headphones.
I think it *might* have to do with turning on the headphones while audio is actively playing on the phone, but I haven't been able to come up with any reliable steps to reproduce the issue. Sometimes after resetting with the charging case, it will happen again, other times it goes back to being just fine.
Any ideas? Do these headphones get software updates or resets?

Hello JBF,
Thanks for reaching out and providing a detailed description of what's happening.
Yes, please check if your Run buds are selected as default for media audio. The buds do not need to be connected to announce the voice prompts so it will be helpful if we can check this.
Feel free to reach back to us by replying to this post or contacting our other support channels at https://www.jaybirdsport.com/en-us/support.html
Warm Regards,

same here, when changing songs on Spotify both earbuds hang and cannot do anything but placing them again on the charging case. after that they'll be back on and be able to keep using them.
