How to connect different AirPods to a different case?

Place your AirPods in the new case. Open the lid and look for the setup button at the back of the charging case. Press and hold that button for 15 seconds until you see the light go from orange to white.

Navigate to the home screen of your Apple device, and open the charging case of the AirPods while the earbuds are still inside them.

At this point, you should see a setup animation. Tap on connect and you are all set to use your AirPods with the new charging case.

Why should you connect your AirPods to a different case?

This might surprise you, but connecting your earbuds to a different case has its own set of benefits. For instance, if you accidentally lose your original case, you can get a replacement case and use it with your AirPods.

It is convenient and cost-effective. Imagine going out with your friends or family, and running out of charge on your AirPods. And realizing that you have forgotten your charging case at home. Possible, right?

You can borrow your friend’s case and use it to charge your AirPods.

Problem solved…

Can AirPods be charged in another case?

It is possible to charge AirPods by putting them in someone else’s case or by buying a third-party case.

We understand that Apple charging cases can be expensive, at times. The good news is that you can get a non-Apple charging case, and still use it to charge your AirPods. The downside?

For starters, these (non-Apple) charging cases might not have the same wattage as an Apple charging case.

As a result, the amount of power you get from this device might be different. In simple words, non-Apple charging cases would charge your AirPods slower. That is why using Apple-certified cases is your best bet.

Can you connect AirPods without the case?

Unfortunately, I cannot help you with this. Or can I? Let’s find out.

Apple does not allow you to connect to your AirPods without a charging case.

The reason is that you just cannot charge Apple earbuds without using a charging case.

But, just like other things, there is a workaround. Welcome to the world of PodCharger.

This device connects your Apple AirPods to any standard USB port. You can even use a portable battery with a USB port to connect it with the PodCharger. You can use this device to instantly charge your Apple AirPods.

This device is available online.

Can you connect different AirPods with the same case?

Have you ever tried connecting two different AirPods? What if one of your AirPods goes missing, and you end up with two single AirPods? Let’s see how you can pair those different AirPods.

Before you attempt pairing the two different AirPods, use the ‘Find my iPhone’ feature to find your device. You would need your serial number printed on the original charger case to get a replacement from Apple. Assuming this does not work, you can still pair two different AirPods.

First, identify your AirPods generation. Also, find out what version of iOS your Apple device is running.

Head to the Bluetooth settings on your Apple device, and find your AirPods on the list of paired devices. Tap the “info” button next to your AirPods’ name to find out the model number.

Next, navigate to the About option under the “General” menu in your “Settings”. You should be able to see the model number by tapping the name of your AirPods.

Put both the AirPods into the AirPods case. Open the lid of the case and check the status light. You should see amber light.

Press and hold the setup button on the charging case for 5-10 seconds until you see the case start flashing white. If you still see amber light, connect the AirPods case to power, close the lid, and let it charge for a few minutes.

Open your Apple device and go to the home screen. Next, open the AirPods case (with the earbuds inside them) and hold it near your iPhone.

Follow the animation prompt to connect the device. And voila, you have successfully paired two different earbuds to your Apple device.

AirPods are awesome devices. However, you might encounter these glitches at times. I am sure that with the tips mentioned in this post, you would be able to address some of the common issues with ease.
