Update:

In this tutorial we will show you how to see the charging level of the AirPods battery for each headset. Check AirPods Battery Level. That way you will know what the battery autonomy is for each AirPods headset.

About the features and differences between smart headphones Apple: AirPods (gen. 1), AirPods (gen. 2) si AirPods Pro I've talked a lot articles.

The really major differences are between the first generations of AirPods si AirPods Pro. The latter having a different design and new functions, such as:

  • Active Noise Cancellation (the almost total fading of outside sounds even when we are not in a conversation or listening to music);
  • Transparency Mode (allows us to hear the sounds around us, even if we are listening to music);
  • Normal (when it behaves like a regular earbud).

In addition to these ways of managing ambient sounds, AirPods Pro they also have "Spatial Audio".

Spatial Audio it is a mode with a more sophisticated technology, which creates a spatial sensation of the sound, which is perceived from different directions, depending on the movement of the head and body. This mode is only active for video and audio content that supports “spatial audio".

Some of these modes come with a higher energy consumption, which makes the battery of the AirPods headphones have a lower autonomy. That's why it's good to know how you can see the charging level of the AirPods battery for each individual headset.

AirPods battery status indicator LED

The LED indicating the charging status of the headphones has been moved out of the case to AirPods Pro. By simply pressing the button on the case, we can see the status of the battery.

Red (when the castles AirPods Pro are downloaded), Orange (when they are below 99%) and Verde (100% load). This is also the easiest way to see the charge level of the batteries AirPods Pro and AirPods. Finally, it is necessary to lift the cover of the charging case.

Battery status notification on iPhone / iPad

If we have headphones paired to an iPhone and / or iPad, it is enough to open the case without removing the headphones, and on the screen of the device will appear in a pop-up the state of charge of the battery for the wireless AirPods and of the charging case.

In this scenario we see the average state of charge of the batteries of the two headphones and the charging status of the battery for the case (AirPods case).

I don't know exactly why, but when I was using it AirPods (gen. 1), it often happens that the battery of one headset discharges much faster than the other, even if both had the same usage time.

In this case, it is good to see the charging level of the AirPods battery for each headset. Left and right. For this it is enough to open the charging case and remove a single earbud. On the pop-up notification, the two headphones will separate and the individual status will be displayed.

Another method by which we can see the individual charge status of the AirPods batteries is in the widget "Battery".

In the same scenario as above, with the charging case open, the widget will display the average energy status of the AirPods and the charging case, and with a wirepess headset removed, the individual status will be displayed.

These are the simplest methods by which you can see the charge level of the AirPods battery for each individual headset.

I am happy to share my experiences in the field of computers, mobile phones and operating systems, to develop web projects and to bring the most useful tutorials and advice. I like to "play" on the iPhone, MacBook Pro, iPad, AirPort Extreme and on operating systems macOS, iOS, Android and Windows.
