How to charge wireless bluetooth headphones 

Bluetooth technology allows you to use your usual devices without getting tangled in wires. If you are just planning to buy Bluetooth headphones or have already purchased them, you need to know something about such an important process as charging them. You need to familiarize yourself with the very simple charging rules so that you don’t regret damaging your expensive headset later. 

REFERENCE. Familiarize yourself with the features and characteristics of the device you are purchasing; this will help you prevent the possibility of various difficulties or even rapid breakdowns in the future. 

Since the batteries in such devices are used with a low capacity, because the energy consumption is relatively low, charging will take about 2–3 hours.The approximate charging time can be found on the box in which the headphones were packaged or in the instructions, if available.  

1. It is advisable to charge such a device each time not in parts, but at full 100%. This will preserve the correct functionality of the built-in battery. One of the negative symptoms of improper charging can be rapid discharge. 
2. Do not completely discharge the battery; charge it promptly. 
3. Do not use your device while charging. It is better to wait a little, this will extend the service life in the future. 

Using these simple rules, you can significantly extend the life of your device, so you don’t have to save money and buy really good Bluetooth headphones. 

REFERENCE. The charging principle for different models is approximately the same, but there are some minor differences.  

Let's consider a universal charging algorithm: 

1. Take the cable that came with the device. 
2. Connect one end of the cable to the corresponding jack in the headphones. 
3. The second end with a USB plug must be connected to a PC or power bank.  
4. Wait for the time specified in the instructions, this is approximately 1–2 hours. 
5. When the LED on the device begins to blink or stops, depending on the model, this will indicate that it is fully charged. 

Using the same algorithm, you can charge products from Sony, JBL and others.

What should owners of Beats Wireless models do? 

Wireless are equipped with a very high-quality battery. This allows you to use it for half a day when using Bluetooth. When connected via cable, the operating time increases to 20 hours.

To charge you need: 

1. Connect the wire to the micro USB port located on the right earphone. 
2. The opposite end of the cable must be connected to the power adapter, which the manufacturer supplies in the kit. 

It will take about 2 hours to fully charge the device using original components. If charging is not done from the mains, charging time may increase. 

IMPORTANT. If you are unable to charge this type of headphone, you will need to reset it and then check for an update.

Manufacturers have made sure that users are able to determine the battery charge level quickly and easily: 

• If all 5 white lights are illuminated, this will indicate that the battery is fully or almost fully charged. 
• If one red light is solid, it indicates to the user that the battery is low on charge. 
• When the red light flashes, it indicates that the battery charge is approaching zero. Charge. 
• If there are no indicator signals, this indicates that the device is either completely discharged or simply turned off.

Now many users have just such headphones. The question arises - how can you charge them? There is only one option here. Charging can only be done through a special case; there is simply no other option. The case itself can be charged using a cable and mains power or using wireless charging. Everything here is extremely simple and clear. 

What is the charge from?

Any technician will tell you that it is not recommended to power such headphones with extraneous cables. It is best to use the one that came with the kit. If the instructions do not indicate anything about charging from the network, it would be better to do it using a USB PowerBank, laptop, or PC.  

IMPORTANT. When connected to the network, you may damage the device. Subsequently, the battery may quickly discharge or may not work correctly at all.

Only if you are sure that the current and voltage will match between the headphone battery and the output charging adapter, then you can charge the device from the mains. In other cases, this is not recommended.

Wireless headphone charging cable 

As a rule, the manufacturer also supplies a special cable with the headphones; it is necessary to charge your device. Manufacturers insist that users use this particular wiring. You should not use others. Why shouldn't you choose other cables? It's quite simple. The manufacturer produces them adapted to each other. That is, if you replace the wire, this may lead to damage to the headphone connector, and they may stop charging altogether. Different chargers have different voltages. You, of course, can speed up or, conversely, slow down the charging speed in this way. It is worth understanding that none of the options will be good for your gadget. After regular use, the charging speed of the headphones decreases and their service life is shortened.

What about charging time?

It is not easy to answer this question unequivocally, because for each model the period until full charging may vary. Everything will depend on the model, or rather, the capacity of the battery used. On average, charging time ranges from 1 to 4 hours. You can find out the specific charging time of your wireless headphones by studying the information on the box in which they were packaged. This information is also given in the specifications for the model and instructions. Even if for some reason you were unable to find the information you were interested in, the following recommendations will help you: 

• All modern models have an LED. During charging, it glows in one color, and when charging is complete, it may blink. This is how you can understand that the headphones are fully charged. 
• You can find out the exact or approximate time for a full charge from reviews on the Internet; just enter the model of your gadget. 
• You can download special applications to your smartphone that allow you to monitor your battery level. 

REFERENCE. Modern models provide a very interesting “Fast charging” function. Using it, you can quickly recharge the device in just 10 minutes, and the operating time will be from 1 to 3 hours.
