Modern technologies do not stand still, and what a few decades ago seemed like a fantastic "component" of the future, is now found on almost every corner. This type of invention can be safely attributed to devices that no longer need wires, which tend to get confused at the most inopportune moment. Wireless gadgets and gadgets are gaining popularity at an astonishing rate. Why is this happening? Speakers, chargers and, undoubtedly, headphones, freed from numerous wires, are not inferior to their predecessors in terms of quality.

Bluetooth headphones have a number of advantages:

  • no hated "knots" and wire breaks;
  • the ability to move freely a few meters from a computer or laptop and connect a wireless headset to a mobile phone;
  • comfortable sports (running, training and even swimming) with your favorite music.

Like any electronic device, Bluetooth headphones require adherence to certain rules:

  • storage (exclusion of moisture and sudden temperature changes);
  • use (prevention of falls and other mechanical damage to the device);
  • charging.

Even a process as simple at first glance as charging requires following a certain algorithm. How should I charge a wireless headset and how much time should I spend in this process? You will find answers to these and some other questions in this article.

Where to connect the cable?

Like any other electronics, wireless headphones require periodic charging. Different models of Bluetooth headsets can be equipped with the following types of connectors for receiving power:

  • Micro USB;
  • Lightning;
  • Type C and other less popular connectors.

Some models of "free" gadgets can be charged in a special storage case. This type of wireless earbuds includes Airpods.

In this case, the case acts as a Power Bank. The case itself replenishes its energy through a cable or through a wireless device.

The principle of charging is the same for almost all types of wireless headsets known today. The general instruction describing the charging process is very simple:

  • take the included Micro-USB charging cable;
  • connect one end of the cable to the headphones;
  • connect the other end (with a USB plug) to a computer or laptop;
  • wait until the device is fully charged.

To charge Bluetooth headphones also Power Bank and car charger are suitable.

Please note that a mobile phone charger is not recommended for use with a wireless headset. Receiving power directly from the phone's charger, a popular gadget may be damaged, because the current strength of the headphone battery and charging may not match.

A non-genuine or universal USB cable negatively affects the performance of the headset, since the supplied cable is fully adapted for a specific model of contactless headphones. The use of third-party wires can lead to unwanted sound distortion, loosening of the connector or, even worse, to breakdown, therefore, in case of loss of a "native" cable, it is easier to buy a new USB cable of the corresponding model than to spend money on new headphones.

Owners of wireless headphones may have the following question: can their favorite "accessories" be charged from the mains?

If the owner of the headset wants to increase the lifespan of his device, then such a power supply is highly undesirable.

The power of the outlet usually exceeds the power of the wireless headset, and as a result of such charging, the gadget risks becoming inoperative.

In order to extend the life of your headphones, it is worth adhering to the following simple rules.

  1. Use only the original charging cable that came with your wireless headset.
  2. If you replace the cable, do not forget to pay attention to the parameters of the current strength of the new wire, its integrity and the compliance of the connector.
  3. Do not use wireless headphones while charging.
  4. Don't turn up the volume 100% unless necessary. The quieter the music, the longer the battery will last.
  5. Please try to fully discharge the wireless headphones before charging (following this point will help preserve battery life).
  6. Do not rush to connect the device to the AC power via the adapter if this option is not indicated in the instructions or in the specification of the Bluetooth headphones.
  7. Read the instructions and find the required charging time for your wireless headset model.
  8. Monitor the status of the diode during charging in order to disconnect the gadget from the power source in time.

Remember that respect for any thing can prolong its life.

How long does it take to charge?

Usually inexpensive, budget items needs to be charged every 2-3 days, while expensive ones, technically advanced gadget models able to exist without charging for 7 days or even more. An important factor is the intensity of using a Bluetooth headset.

The charging time for wireless headphones varies from model to model. First of all, it depends on battery capacity. Most modern "representatives" of a wireless headset require 1 to 4 hours of charging. More detailed information should be placed in the instructions supplied with the headphones, in the specification of the device or on the box / packaging.

If the information about the charging time of the Bluetooth headphones was not found, use a special mobile application.

With its help, you can easily determine the time period required for correct charging.

Finally, some manufacturers of modern models of wireless gadgets provide such a function as fast charging, which allows you to recharge the device for a period of 1 to 3 hours in just 10-15 minutes.

Please remember that charging a Bluetooth headset must always be completed. Regular or occasional interruption of the process can lead to damage to the gadget: a noticeable deterioration in sound can be followed by too fast discharge of the device.

How do I know if the earbuds are charged?

The charging status of the device is usually indicated by a change in the status of the indicators:

  • white or green color indicates a normal charge level;
  • yellow color indicates a decrease in energy by half;
  • red color warns of low battery level.

After a full charge, the diodes of some models burn continuously, while others flicker or turn off completely.... It is the diode that is the indicator of full charge.

But it can also happen that the headphones stop responding to the charger. Charging faults are indicated by the following symptoms:

  • when connected to the charger, the indicator flickers and turns off after a while;
  • the wireless headset itself does not respond when pressed or rebooted.

What could be the reasons?

In some cases, the passage of current is impeded by rubber compressor. If necessary, it should be removed, as this part interferes with the establishment of contact.

The problem with charging may also be due to the mini-USB socket. In this case, replacing the defective part will help.

May be the cable itself is damaged, which also interferes with the normal charging process of the device. Changing a non-functioning wire should solve this problem.

If the above methods did not fix the problem and the device still does not charge, the cause could be much more serious.

Damaged power controller or faulty battery need a professional replacement, which is carried out in a service center.

The above rules are easy and simple to follow. With their help, you can easily extend the lifespan of your favorite wireless "accessory" and enjoy your music whenever and wherever you want it.
