This IS what I have done in the meantime
But it doesn’t stay fixed in place for long… and leaves a residue (the app seems a much better option if possible).
I didn’t want to recreate a topic on the issue. But did end up returning my headphones directly as a result of not being able to turn off the status light.
I should also add this status light is incredibly intrusive, especially on an airplane.
and sadly, the electric tape does not work on the White version of the headphones.
I hope Wyze makes an effort to disable the status light in the future. They are very good headphones, and it’s unfortunate this was a deal breaker… for me at least.
