Many people who have purchased AirPods complain about how easy it is to misplace or lose the charging case (and therefore the AirPods themselves). This problem is compounded by the fact that finding anything in a purse, backpack, or pocket can take some time.
However, many users are surprised to discover that the AirPods easily fit in most standard ear-canal headphones cases (a hard, zippered case that holds your earbuds), allowing you to use AirPods with any pair of headphones. This is especially useful if you have a favorite pair of wired headphones or if you would rather not spend money on an expensive third-party case.
How to Connect to Airpods Without Case
I already know that if I use case, it will be possible to connect wireless buds to my phone. but I feel like the case is too heavy and it should not add such quantity of weight on your pocket or purse. This is how i connected my airpods without the case.
Let your airpods and charging case stay near each other for few minutes. Now press and hold the button on the back of AirPods case with any pointed device (like earphone) for few seconds. It will make a sound.
Now you’ll see honeycomb animation on the iPhone’s screen…do not release the button yet! Still hold any pointed device to AirPods charging case and wait for 15 – 18 seconds, still holding the button on back of Airpods charging case.
After some time, you’ll see an animation of a grey battery with a lightning bolt…do not release the button yet! Hold for 4 more seconds. After another second, you’ll see a x/x icon on your iPhone display which means “connecting” and it will try to connect to AirPods case. Once it’s done, you’ll see an animation of a green battery with a checkmark.
How to Charge Your AirPods Without the Case
The AirPod case has a battery life of about 24 hours and is capable of charging your earbuds approximately four times. However, if you’re away from the case for longer periods, such as when you go to bed at night or for an extended workout session, it may be worth considering other methods for charging them.
You can use AirPods without charging case. To do this, first make sure the AirPods are close to your iOS device. Now open Control Center on iPhone or iPad, select Bluetooth option and tap on “i” button next to the AirPod’s name.
You’ll see an information message showing “Connected to Airpods”. This indicates that your AirPods are ready to use.
You can keep playing music with your AirPods until the battery runs out. When this happens, you’ll need to recharge them.
