Why are my AirPods not charging in the case?

If your AirPods are not charging in the case, you should first check that they are properly seated. Be sure to make sure that both AirPods are lined up properly with the magnetic charging dots, and that the lid is closed tightly.

It’s also possible that one of your AirPods is defective. Try charging just one AirPod at a time to see if one charges and the other does not. If one does not charge, then it is likely that that AirPod has a faulty battery.

If both AirPods don’t charge, there might be an issue with the AirPod case itself. Check if the case is damaged in any way, or if it is clogged with debris. If there is debris, you can try cleaning it out with a cloth and compressed air.

If the case itself is damaged, then you may need to get a new case.

Finally, try charging your AirPods with a different USB charger. If the AirPods charge with a different charger, then it is likely that your charger is defective.

If none of these solutions work, it is possible that your AirPods are faulty and need to be professionally looked at. You can contact Apple Support for assistance.

Does the AirPods charge inside the case?

Yes, the AirPods charge inside the case. When the case is closed and connected to a power source, the AirPods will start charging automatically. Depending on the battery level of your AirPods, it can take up to 15 minutes for it to fully charge and the indicator light on the case will remain lit until then.

According to Apple, a single full charge should provide up to 5 hours of listening time or 3 hours of talk time. When the case is open and connected to a power source, the case itself will start charging.

A fully charged case should be able to provide up to 24 hours of listening time or 19 hours of talk time.

How many years do AirPods last?

It depends on how much you use them and how well you take care of them. On average, AirPods last around 2-3 years before the battery starts to diminish significantly. However, if you take good care of them, they can last up to four or five years.

The only way to extend the battery life of AirPods is to regularly check the battery life, charge them in their case when they’re not in use, and avoid exposing them to extreme temperatures. Additionally, you can buy a protective case or sleeve to help protect them from damage.

Ultimately, the lifespan of your AirPods will depend on how well you take care of them and how often you use them.

Can I charge the case without the earbuds?

Yes, you can charge the case without the earbuds. The case is designed to charge regardless of whether the earbuds are inside or outside. The case has an internal battery that can be recharged. To recharge, simply connect the charging port on the case to your wall charger, computer, or other device that has USB charging capability.

Make sure to use the correct type of cable that your device requires, such as a USB-C cable or a Lightning cable. Once the charging indicator shows that the battery is full, you can unplug the cable to complete the charging.

How do you charge an AirPods Pro in a case?

Charging your AirPods Pro in the case is very easy and convenient. To charge your AirPods Pro, make sure that your case is plugged into a power source and that the lid is closed. Once the case is plugged in, a status light will appear on the outside of the case.

When the light turns amber, it indicates that the case is currently charging. The light will stay amber while charging, and once fully charged it will turn green. It can take up to 15 minutes or so for your AirPods Pro to fully charge in their case.

Additionally, you can check the charge status of your AirPods Pro in your Bluetooth settings on your device or on the Battery widget in your Control Center on iOS devices.

How do I check the battery on my AirPod case?

To check the battery on your AirPod case, first open the case next to your iPhone. The battery status will appear on the Lock Screen or in the Control Center of your iPhone, though the exact area may change depending on the version of iOS you’re using.

The battery status will indicate how much battery life is remaining in the AirPod case.

If your AirPods are already connected to your device, you can also quickly check their battery life by doing the following:

1. Open the Bluetooth settings and select your connected AirPods.

2. A window will appear displaying the “AirPods” card with the battery level for each AirPod.

3. The battery levels of each AirPod and the battery level of the AirPod case will appear in the “AirPods battery” card.

Alternatively, if you don’t have an iPhone, you can also use the AirPods/Case battery widget on your iOS device to check the battery life. To do this, open the “Today” view, scroll to the bottom, and tap “Edit”.

Here you can add the AirPods/Case battery widget.

If you don’t have an iOS device, you can still check the AirPods and/or AirPod Case battery level by putting the AirPods in their case, closing the lid and then pressing and holding the setup button on the back of the case.

The lights on the front of the case will give you an indicator of how much battery life is left.

5. On the outside of the case, press and hold the small button for about 15 seconds before releasing.

6. The indicator light between the two Bluetooth icons on the outside of the case will start flashing white when the reset process is done.

Why is my AirPod case not charging but my AirPods are?

If your AirPod case is not charging but your AirPods are, there could be several explanations. Firstly, try to make sure that your charging cable is securely connected to a power source. If your charging cable is securely connected and it still does not work, try using a different cable.

Depending on the model of your AirPods, you may need a Lightning to USB Cable.

If the issue persists, your charging port on the case may be blocked. To inspect it, separate your case from the AirPods and look for any dirt, dust, lint, or any other material that may be blocking the port.

If there are any foreign objects present, you can remove them with a soft cloth or a toothpick (taking care not to damage any components).

If there is nothing blocking the port and the issue persists, you may need to reset your AirPods by following the steps provided in the user manual. If that doesn’t work, it could be a problem with the hardware of your AirPod case, and you would need to contact Apple Support for further assistance.

What happens if your AirPod case dies?

If your AirPod case dies, you won’t be able to charge your AirPods. This can be very inconvenient because your AirPods need to be charged regularly to maintain their battery life and give you optimal audio performance.

You may also be unable to use any features or accessories that require the AirPods to be connected to the AirPod case, such as the Find My feature or automatic ear detection, depending upon the model.

To get your AirPod case working again, the first thing to do is to make sure the case is properly charged. If it’s still not working, you can try resetting the case. To do this, press and hold the setup button on the back of the case for at least 20 seconds until the indicator light flashes orange and white.

If the case still doesn’t work, your best option would be to contact Apple and take advantage of the one-year limited warranty that comes with the purchase of AirPods.
