Why don't wireless headphones charge?

Charging wireless headphones is no different from charging any phone. Methods for recharging Bluetooth headphones depend only on the features of the connector and a specific design model. According to statistics, 98% of all headphones have a micro-USB connector. And all that is needed for recharging is just a cable, which is included as standard.

Wireless headphones won't charge

Manufacturers of wireless devices recommend using the factory charging cable without replacing the cable with another device.

Why don't wireless headphones charge?

The basic principle is that the charging and headset are adapted. If you buy equipment from another device, you can break the connector. As a result, the headset will not charge at all. The voltage differs for different chargers.

Reference! So you can either reduce the charging speed or increase it. These methods negatively affect the performance of the headset. After a regular incorrect procedure, you can notice how the device’s discharge rate increases significantly. This reduces the operating time of the headphones.

Possible reasons

The main reasons why the headphones do not charge and possible malfunctions:

  • device is disabled;
  • the battery is dead;
  • Bluetooth is turned off;
  • the headset did not undergo the initial connection procedure with the sound source;
  • The headset is very far from the sound source
  • different versions of bluetooth for the headset and audio transmission device;
  • The headset is out of order.

Troubleshooting

If the audio device does not see the headphones, you need to check if they are charged. The wireless headset runs on an installed battery; certain models work without charging for up to 50 hours, some only 4-5 hours.

Disconnect the headphones; as a rule, when turned on, the indicator on the device body lights up. Recharge your device. We must not forget that certain models require only 1 hour to fully recharge, while some need to be recharged for more than 5 hours.

Headphones on charge

If the headset is connected to the charger and the indicator lights up, then everything is working normally, you just need to wait until the battery is fully charged.

If after connecting the headset to the charger the indicator does not turn on for 2-3 minutes, the device is probably broken.

Make sure that the outlet where the charger is connected is working. If the headphones are connected to the laptop via a USB cable, you need to make sure that the USB port is working normally. Not all ports transmit the required electrical voltage. Most often, USB ports that can recharge external equipment are marked with a lightning bolt symbol. If there is no signal when connecting to one of the ports, connect the wire to another port or to another laptop.

How to properly charge wireless headphones

The general charging principle is approximately the same for all types of wireless devices. But all models may have certain nuances.

The general instructions are as follows:

  1. Take a micro-USB charging cable (included as standard).
  2. Connect one end of the wire to the headset (port connector may vary).
  3. The second end of the wire into the laptop port.
  4. It is not recommended to let the device become completely discharged.

Attention! Do not remove the headset from charging or use it until it is fully charged. This has a negative impact on the battery.

Note:

  1. The room temperature should be 5-30 degrees.
  2. When charging, the headphones must not be turned on, and Bluetooth mode must not be used.
  3. If the device has not been used for a long time, the battery may drain quickly at first, but after 2-3 recharges the operating time will increase.
  4. If the device has not been used for a long time, the indicator may not light up when connecting the USB cable. In this case, do not disconnect the cable: wait a while until the red light on the indicator starts to light.
  5. If the headset has not been used for a very long time, it will take longer to fully charge the battery.
  6. If the headphones are simply stored for a long time, the battery must be fully charged at least once every six months. Doing this will extend the life of the device.
  7. Do not expose the headphones to significant temperature fluctuations, high humidity, or mechanical damage. Do not leave headphones in a car that is in the sun.
  8. If the battery life is greatly reduced, it needs to be replaced. To do this, you need to contact your nearest service center.
  9. If the laptop goes into sleep mode when connected to headphones, the procedure will not be completely completed.

Instead of a laptop, a universal charger or an adapter for charging in the car is also used.But only if this is indicated in the operating instructions for a specific headphone model. This is much more convenient than recharging from a laptop, but this will not affect the charging speed at all, which should also not be forgotten.

Comments and feedback:

Hello, I have 2 sets of i9s, one is fully functional. The second one does not charge the headphones. The container is charged, I put working headphones in it, the charge arrives. I also inserted the problematic headphones into another container, they did not receive a charge.
The problem is definitely in the headphones themselves.
What could it be?
Thank you.
