Tips for Extending Wireless Headphone Battery Life

Wireless headphones are designed to solve the problem of tangled cables and exposed wires. In a way, they help keep your desktop tidy. But their unpredictable battery life is a cause for concern for users, as the devices stop working when you're on a phone call or watching a movie. Such an experience may be frustrating for some users. Here are some tips to extend the battery life of your TWS audio device.

It's important to know first whether TWS earphones are right for you. If battery fluctuations are an instant deal breaker, you're better off with wired earbuds, as TWS earbuds have a shorter lifespan, and battery life dwindles after multiple charge cycles. Even if your smartphone doesn't have an audio jack, you can use an audio jack/USB C converter, or opt for a USB Type C wired headset. The first step is to ask yourself if portability is more important to you than batteries.

If you're keen to buy a pair of TWS earphones with great battery life, don't start looking for the best deal. Instead, look for well-reviewed products from companies with a proven track record in the electronics industry. Investing in a mid-range device made by a trusted smartphone maker or electronics company is smarter than buying an entry-level device developed by a lesser-known company.

It's generally recommended to stay within the smartphone ecosystem when choosing a pair of TWS earphones for the best compatibility, but sound connoisseurs may prefer the audio fidelity of a premium brand. Investing in a pair of headphones with a more advanced version of Bluetooth will also help save power.

Keeping your wireless earbuds charged and stored in their charging case sounds simple enough, but the key is making sure they don't overcharge or stay charged after they've reached 100%. This overcharging also degrades battery performance, which in the long run will shorten the lifespan of the headphones. Buying TWS earphones with a battery gauge on the case can help you make sure your device isn't overcharging.

Activities that demand more from your TWS headset, such as playing intense games, participating in video calls with dozens of people, or streaming for hours on end, can quickly drain battery life. While these are intended use cases for headphones, people who want to preserve the battery in their headphones will opt for already downloaded media content. Another option is to keep a pair of TWS earphones for such power-hungry tasks, as they have a higher battery capacity than TWS earphones.

Many TWS headphones on the market today offer features such as adjustable equalizer (EQ) and active noise cancellation (ANC). Turning off these features is another way to extend battery life. Plus, you can buy a pair of headphones with smart features to save power when you're not streaming media. You can also turn off Bluetooth on the paired device if you know you won't be using the headset for a while.

Users were surprised to find that when using TWS earbuds, the battery of one earbud tended to drain faster than the other. When buying a new pair of TWS headphones, it's a good idea to "break-in," that is, to find out if this is the case with your own headphones before traveling or using them in high-voltage scenarios. If this happens frequently with a pair of headphones you've been using for a long time, it could be a sign that the battery in that earbud is dying.

Pairing the TWS earbuds with multiple devices at the same time will quickly drain the battery. It's best to keep the headset in use with only one device at a time, and also be aware that the headset automatically connects to the device via Bluetooth when not in use.

Due to their small size and complicated wiring, even tiny obstructions like oil, hair, and wax particles from the user's ears can damage the TWS earbuds, ruining the sound quality and forcing the user to turn up the volume - further shortening battery life. It's important to clean your headphones regularly, especially if you take them to the gym. Earplugs and a small headphone brush are your best bet. On the other hand, using alcohol can damage the product or its design.

Extreme heat and cold can shorten the life of your favorite TWS earphones. To make sure this doesn't happen, keep your devices out of bright sunlight and heat, and keep them well protected in cold areas like air-conditioned rooms and offices.
