Do I need to Carry the Airpod Case With Me?

While the AirPod case is a significant accessory to your AirPods, you don’t need to carry it with you. You only have to carry the case if you are traveling a long distance, plan to stop using the Airpods, or when earbuds are running low on battery.

Otherwise, you can leave your case at home and still use your AirPods. The same applies to your AirPod Pro case.

However, the case is needed when you are initially pairing the airpods with a new device. Once you have done the initial pairing, the airpods will connect to the device automatically in the future.

In general, it is a good idea to keep the case with you unless you know that you will not be needing it such as when you are going for a run.

How Far Can AirPods be Away from the Case?

Your AirPods can be as far from the case as you want. That’s because the AirPods don’t require their case to work once they have been initially connected to the device. It would be best to have your case near you if you’re going to need to charge your AirPods.

Does My AirPod Case Need to be Near Me?

Your AirPods case needs to be near you when you want to charge or keep your AirPods. If their battery is full and you plan to use them without a break, your case doesn’t have to be near you.

Do AirPods Disconnect When Far From the Case?

AirPods don’t disconnect when far from the case. That’s because the distance between the AirPods and the AirPods case is unimportant when using the earbuds.

Nevertheless, the AirPods must be close to the iPhone or other device playing. As a general rule of thumb, the distance between the AirPods and the device should be between 30 and 60 feet to establish and maintain strong Bluetooth connectivity.

If your AirPods disconnect when not in the vicinity of the case, be sure to take them to the nearest Apple outlet to have them inspected and repaired.

Can I Connect AirPods Without the Case?

AirPods can connect to the iPhone or any other compatible device via Bluetooth without the case once they have done the first pairing.

However, the case is needed to connect the AirPods with the device for the first time. The only requirement is the distance between the AirPods and connecting device should be closer enough to support connectivity.

Can I Charge AirPods Without the Case?

The only way to charge the AirPods is by putting them inside the case that they came with or by putting them inside a third party case.

Can I Charge My AirPods With Different Case?

You can use a different case to charge your AirPods. If you misplaced your case and your friend or a family member has a case, you can borrow it to charge your earbuds.

Can I Charge My Case Without the AirPods?

While the case is used to charge the AirPods, it has its own battery. Therefore, you can charge your case without the AirPods.

The AirPods will not be charged because they are not inside the case. The benefit of charging the case is preparing it to charge the AirPods later.

Can I Use the Case to Charge One AirPod?

Yes, It is possible to charge your AirPods separately. In fact, I will often be charging one of my AirPods while I am still using the other one. By doing this, I can ensure that I never run out of charge in at least one of my AirPods.
