If you’re wondering how long your AirPods will last before needing a charge—or when they’ll stop working altogether—you’re not alone. and overall lifespan depend on how you use and care for them. After digging into the details, here’s what I found out!
The battery life of AirPods varies by model. On a full charge, most AirPods offer 4 to 6 hours of listening time, with the charging case extending that to around 24 hours. Over time, the lithium-ion batteries degrade, meaning you may notice shorter usage times after about two years.
To make them last longer, avoid extreme temperatures, don’t let the battery drain completely, and store them in the case when not in use. If your AirPods aren’t holding a charge, Apple offers battery service options—but depending on the model, replacing them might be more cost-effective.
Want to keep your AirPods running like new? Try optimizing your charging habits and cleaning them regularly. A little care goes a long way!
