That means you don't need to carry your iPhone at all. To do that: Put both AirPods in the case.
AirPods generally have a range of 30 to 60 feet, allowing users to conveniently listen to their favorite tunes, even with their phone far away.
You do not need to carry the charging case with you in order to be able to listen to music via your AirPods.
Open the case with your AirPods inside, hold it next to your iPhone or iPad, then follow the onscreen instructions. To connect to other devices, press and hold the setup button on the back of the AirPods case for about five seconds, or until the status light flashes white.
You can control your AirPods with a double tap at the top of the stem. For example, when you get an incoming call, double-tap to answer.
I believe you're asking the wrong question. The Airpods case is for charging and safe keeping when not being worn. The connection between Airpods is Bluetooth, between the pods and iPhone. So, you do not need to have the charging case near the pods at all.
You can leave the case at home and get full usage out of the AirPods until the battery dies. This includes switching devices, monitoring battery levels, using Find My AirPods, etc. I typically take the case with me unless I'm going for a quick jog/walk.
Also, AirPods and the case are both lightweight, so when dropped, the force at which it collides with a surface already lightens the blow. And because the blow is minimized, it limits the possibility of the inner mechanisms of the AirPods in the charging case being moved or damaged by the impact.
They fall out when running… sometimes. This can be annoying if you're training for a marathon or trying to work on running faster. But for easy days, they're perfectly fine.
AirPods typically last about 2-3 years before most users feel the need to replace them. This short lifespan is because of their lithium-ion batteries. AirPods have proven tough in several durability tests and have shown that they can withstand pressure.
If there's low volume in one AirPod
Check the microphone and speaker mesh on each AirPod. If you see any debris, clean your AirPods using the guidelines in this article, and see if that fixes the issue. Go to Settings > Accessibility > Audio/Visual > Balance, and make sure that the balance is set in the middle.
You can see in the following video that the AirPods case does take a bit more cosmetic damage than the AirPods themselves when dropped. The plastic, though rigid enough to protect the electronics and the AirPods inside, scuffs quite easily when dropped on a hard surface.
AirPods deliver an industry-leading 6 5 hours of listening time 7 — and now up to 3 hours of talk time 8 — all on one charge. And they're made to keep up with you, thanks to a charging case that holds multiple charges for more than 24 hours of listening time.
Ideally, you should keep AirPods in case when you are not using them, as it may cost you precious battery life. You should not keep them out of the case for more than three hours at a time. AirPods left out of the case may get completely discharged and become unusable.
Since your AirPod case has its own battery you can simply plug them into a lighting cable to charge the battery inside. You could also use a wireless charging mat to power up your AirPod case. That way, you can charge your AirPods case without the AirPods inside and enjoy listening to music while your case charges.
The range of AirPods can vary depending on various factors such as interference and Bluetooth version. However, based on the information available, it can be assumed that the range of AirPods would fall between 5 to 33 feet (about 1 to 10 meters), which is typically the range in which they are found to be usable.
Stay connected to immersive sound with the Incase Lanyard for AirPods Pro (2nd generation). Wear the soft braided cord as a wrist loop, or use the integrated clip to attach the lanyard to a backpack or handbag to keep your case safe and easily accessible.
"Track" the AirPods? If they're lost, then the distance from you doesn't matter. If you mean how far they can be from the device used to supply their signal, then that is the standard Bluetooth distance which is about 40 feet (10 meters).
Clean your EarPods
Make sure not to get any liquid in the openings. Clean the microphone and speaker meshes gently with a dry cotton swab. Remove any debris from the meshes with a clean, dry, soft-bristled brush. Don't use sharp objects or abrasive materials to clean your EarPods.
To turn the volume up or down, place your thumb on the stem of either AirPod, and use your index finger to swipe up or down on the Touch control.
The standard AirPods fit some people's ears perfectly (some people have no trouble running with them), but plenty of people can't get a secure fit. If you're in the latter group, I highly recommend you spend the extra money on the AirPods Pro. The AirPods Pro design simply fits more ears than the original AirPods.
