How to Check if AirPods Pro 3 Are Charging: A Step-by-Step Guide

Checking AirPods Pro 3 Charging Status

• 💡 The primary method to check if your AirPods Pro 3 charging case is charging is by observing the LED indicator light at the bottom of the case.
• 🔌 Connect the case to a power source using a USB-C cable and an adapter, or a USB-C to USB-C cable from a phone, or a USB-A to USB-C cable from a PC.

Understanding the LED Indicator

• 🔴 A red LED light on the charging case indicates that the case itself is currently charging.
• ⚡ When you place the AirPods earbuds into the charging case, a LED light will also illuminate, signifying that the earbuds have begun charging.

Verifying Charge Status on iPhone

• 📱 You can check the charging status using your iPhone's battery widget. A popup will appear showing a lightning bolt icon when the headphones are charging.
• ⚙️ Alternatively, navigate to your iPhone's Settings, tap on your headphones at the top, and look for the lightning bolt icon to confirm charging.

Confirming Both Earbuds and Case are Charging

• ⚠️ To confirm that both the earbuds and the charging case are charging simultaneously, you must place at least one earbud into the case.
• ✅ Once an earbud is in the case and connected to power, the iPhone interface will display that both the earbuds and the charging case are charging.
