We’re all part of the wireless earphones craze.
And if you’re here, that means that you too have AirPods. You fancy thing.
However, they have one huge downside. And I’m not talking about dropping them in a street sewage shaft. which might or might’ve not have happened to me.
It’s about the battery.
Here is a guide on how to check AirPod battery level so you may avoid unpleasant surprises. No one wants to listen to people talking during publich tranpsort rides, after all.
If you have 3rd generation AirPods or AirPods Pro, the charging case is equipped with a built-in AirPod battery check function.
Hooray!
All you have to do is:
If the earphones are still charging the will emit amber light. If they are ready to go, the light will be green.
To view your AirPods battery percentage on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch, you have to:

Even the most experienced users can be surprised by some tricks and features to keep track of your AirPod battery status.
I have my favorites:
Your AirPods are programmed to warn you when their charge is low. On a paired iPhone, or iPad, you will receive a notification when the battery is at 20-10-5%.
In addition, they will give out a tone when they are at a 10% charge. They will give out a second tone right before they turn off.
Once your case is fully charged, you can use it multiple times before it gets depleted.
This means that if you go out with both your earphones and station filled, they could easily get you through the day.
On average, five minutes of charging should offer up to one hour of AirPods battery life.
Depending on your audio options - primarily if spatial audio is on - one full charge should last between four and a half and six hours.
All electronics degrade over time, so it is good to keep your battery health in mind. Using the widget on a paired device you may use for an AirPod battery life check. Consider this a relative measure of how much longer it can last.
AirPods Pro and 3rd generation AirPods come with an optimized charge option, which can significantly increase your battery’s life expectancy. By default, it is turned on.
If for some reason your want to turn it off, follow these steps:
Now you know how to check AirPod battery levels.
This means that you won’t have to eavesdrop on other people’s conversations against your will.
Win!
