You’ve been there: mid jam session, belting Taylor Swift at the top of your lungs, when you hear that dreaded low-toned jingle. Low battery. After that, it’s only a matter of time before your Airpods die completely – taking your karaoke dreams with it.
How long do Airpods take to charge?
Well, that depends on how depleted they are. On average, it takes around 15 minutes for your Airpods to charge enough for 3 hours of listening time – and that’s just in the case alone. If you charge them for 15 minutes with the case plugged in, you’ll get more than 24 hours of listening time.
But take care – if you’ve been going hard on the tunes and your Airpods battery is completely dead, it’ll take about an hour and a half to get them fully juiced up. So remember to pop them on charge before your next gym sesh.
Can I charge Airpods wirelessly?
Yup, if you’ve got a Wireless Charging Case. It’s compatible with any Qi-certified charging mat like this Mophie one – simply place the case on the mat and voila, you’re charging!
If you’ve got the standard Airpod case, you can charge it the old-fashioned way through the Lightning port. Not as snazzy, but just as effective.
How do I charge my Airpods case?
Like we mentioned above, it depends on the case you’ve got. Going wireless? Throw your case on a charging mat and juice away. If you’ve got the non-wireless version, grab a Lightning cable (the one you use for your iPhone) and away you go.
How to charge Airpods Pro
Upgraded to Airpods Pro? The charging process is pretty much the same. You’ll still get more than 24 hours of listening time with a 15-minute charge, but the Airpods Pro have a slightly larger battery – so you’ll get through more of your playlist before needing a recharge.
The Pros come with a MagSafe charging case out of the box, so you can charge them wirelessly with a Qi or MagSafe charger – or even via your Apple Watch. Cool.
