How to find out the charge of Airpods on iPhone

Charging the case without headphones

Often Airpods kit owners ask themselves the question of whether it is possible to charge a case that does not have headphones in it? Yes, the device can be charged separately from the headphones. To do this, you must use the original cable. Connect the case:

• To the mains with an adapter.

• After that, hovering over the Airpods line in the Bluetooth menu, you can see how long the headphones can still work without recharging.

Why Airpods Charge So Fast?

Often users ask themselves: is it normal for Airpods to charge so quickly? The fast charging of wireless earbuds is not surprising because there is a micro battery in the housing of each ear. It charges much faster than, for example, watches or other Apple devices.

The headphones have a W1 microprocessor that controls the distribution of energy to the internal components, due to which the charge lasts longer than in analog ears.

How many Airpods can work without recharging?

• with a case. 24 hours of listening to music and 11 hours of talk time;
• on one charge. 5 hours of music and 2 hours of talk;
• 15 minutes of charging in the case. and you can listen to music for 3 hours or talk for 1 hour.

• Place the headphones in the case and bring them to the iPhone.
• Open the case.
• The iPhone will ask you.
• In it you need to select “Connect”.
• The charge percentage of the earbuds and case will be displayed on the screen after a few seconds.
• If this does not happen, try closing the case and reopening it.

You can also use the “Battery” widget, with which you can quickly find out the charge level via Bluetooth.

How much do you need to charge the headphones?

How to extend the running time of Airpods?

In order for the headphone battery to work longer, you must follow the basic rules:

• The headphones should be stored in a special case until the owner is using them.
• If it is possible to charge the headphones and the case, then it is better to do it at the same time. The case will be charged from the outlet and spend less energy on charging the headphones (in this case, the case works as a kind of adapter).
• Continuously opening and closing the cover can quickly drain the battery.
• Do not bring the headphone battery to 100% discharge. It is recommended to start recharging when the battery is discharged to 5. 10 percent.
• Damaged headphones hold less charge, so you need to protect the device from drops and getting wet (the same applies to other components).
• Do not keep the device near heating and heating devices (this will cause the battery to sit down faster).

By following these rules, the user will be able to extend not only charging, but also the operating time of the headphones themselves.

• Testing conducted by Apple in February 2019 with preproduction Airpods (2nd generation) units, charging case, and wireless charging case units and software that interact with iPhone XS Max units and pre-release software. The playlist contained 358 unique audio tracks purchased from the iTunes Store (256 Kbps AAC encoded). The volume was set to 50%. Testing involved fully draining the Airpods battery while playing audio before the first AirPod stopped playing. The drained Airpods were charged to 100%, then playback resumes until the first AirPod stops playing. This cycle repeats until the Airpods and charger are completely discharged. Battery life varies depending on device settings, Terms of Use and many other factors.

Checking the fit to the ears

Airpods Pro was equipped not only with external microphones, but also internal ones. It takes special measurements after the user places the earpiece in their ear.

If you missed the test when connecting or want to repeat it, go to Settings. Bluetooth and press “i” next to the connected Airpods Pro.

These are the interesting features and capabilities of the new Apple headset.

Disable auto-detect ear

A feature that was in previous Airpods models, allows you to automatically pause playback and continue if the user takes the earphone out of his ear or puts it back.

On the one hand, it is convenient, but on the other hand, many people want to continue listening in one headphone.

It couldn’t be easier. In the headset settings menu, turn off the Auto-detect ear switch and rejoice.

Change settings using Siri

Those users who often use the voice assistant can switch the action to long press on the headphone sensors. Instead of changing noise canceling modes, Siri will launch.

In this mode, you can use a voice assistant to control your Airpods Pro settings. Just say, for example, “Hey Siri, turn on the transparency mode” and the option is activated.

Similarly, you can enable or disable the noise reduction mode.

Quick check of charge level

The headset case is equipped with a wireless charging coil and can restore completely dead batteries in about 3 hours. You can find out the charge level in the usual way through the iPhone.

To do this, you can use the Batteries widget or just open the case cover next to the smartphone for the Airpods animation to appear.

There is another tricky way to find out the charge even without an iPhone. When the case is on wireless charging, just knock lightly and the LED indicator will light up. Orange color wakes up to signal the charge level is below 80%, and green. from 80 to 100%.

Not very informative, but sometimes it will be enough to not look for an iPhone.

Switching noise canceling modes

The main feature of the new headphones is active noise cancellation. This feature is useful, but sometimes you need to disable it. This can be done to conserve battery power (Airpods Pro live about an hour longer with noise turned off) or to hear sounds around you.

To switch modes through the iPhone, open the control center and press the volume switch hard.

Below the large slider you will see a switch with three modes: noise canceling on, noise canceling off, and transparent mode.

The last option is another cool feature of the headset, when external noise is not suppressed, but on the contrary. is added to the sound of music in order to hear the sounds occurring around the user.

A similar switch can be found in the Settings. Bluetooth menu, if you press the “i” button next to the connected headset.
