Apple headphone users must have experienced funny and sad situations because their Airpods ran out of battery or the battery bottles on each side were uneven. While using a headset but one side still works normally, the other side has completely run out of battery, making it impossible for users to get the full experience.

Why does each Airpod's battery drain unevenly?
Not only Airpods headphones but also wireless headphones today, the issue of charging the headset's battery is always of concern to users. For example, the question is how long does it take for Airpods to fully charge, or the most common question is why Airpods have different usage times on both sides of the headset. Even though they are both equipped with batteries of the same capacity, when in use, one side runs out of battery first.
It can be determined that the Airpods running out of battery on each side is not the same because it is possible that one side of the headset is not charged when left in the box. To be able to charge the headset, the contact pin must receive power from the charging box. However, if the headset's contact pin is dirty, charging will be hindered.
Airpods are designed by Apple with one side of the headset responsible for functions such as calling and communicating with Siri. This means that this headset will have to use more battery capacity to activate the microphone. That is also the reason why one side of the headset runs out of battery faster than the other.
In addition, according to user habits, when wearing headphones but someone is talking, they will only use one side of the headset and take out the other side. This factor is also the reason why the two headsets run out of battery unevenly.
Fix the problem of Airpods running out of battery on each side unevenly
In addition to making users feel uncomfortable when their Airpods run out of battery differently, it can also cause long-term harm to the device. When placing the headset in the box, the headset that runs out of battery first will have to be charged more times and this can cause the headset battery to drain. So to limit this situation, you can use the following remedies:
If you notice that the problem is coming from the headphone charging port, you just need to clean the headphones thoroughly. Use a cotton swab or tissue paper to wipe the contact between the charging box and the headset. In addition, you should avoid placing the headset in humid places or salty environments because it will easily cause the charging port to oxidize.
In addition, you can change your headphone usage habits by changing the Siri communication settings on your iPhone. Or when you remove the headset to talk, you can flexibly switch between the left and right ear.
However, if this situation comes from the headset's battery being too weak, you can go to a warranty center to have it checked and replaced with a new battery.
