Why Does One Airpod Die Faster?‍

Apple’s wireless Airpod headphones have become a sensation. People love how they look, their ease of use, and the sound quality. That said, many owners have noticed an interesting quirk — on rare occasions, one Airpod dies faster than the other. It’s not known why this happens, but the good news is that it’s pretty rare. It doesn’t happen to everyone and you shouldn’t be worried about your pair of Airpods dying sooner than you expect. Still, if you find yourself in that category of people who have experienced this strange phenomenon once or twice with your set of wireless Apple earbuds, here are some explanations for why one airpod dies faster than the other:

Why Does One Airpod Die Faster?‍

The reason one airpod dies faster than the other is because the battery life is different. The left airpod has a shorter battery life than the right one. The left airpod has a battery capacity of 1.52mAh, while the right one has a 1.55mAh capacity. This means that the left airpod will die faster because it takes up more energy for it to run and play audio as compared to the right one.

Why Airpod Hardware Is Different For Each Ear?

The left airpod has a shorter battery life than the right one. The left airpod has a battery capacity of 1.52mAh, while the right one has a 1.55mAh capacity. This means that the left airpod will die faster because it takes up more energy for it to run and play audio as compared to the right one.
One earbud is slightly larger than the other, meaning that it has more components inside of its shell which use up more energy to run, resulting in a shorter life span for that earbud
A component inside each earbud called the “motor” generates vibrations when a user is listening to music or taking phone calls, and this motor consumes lots of energy, causing your AirPods to die faster
Another component that causes your AirPods to die faster is called “charge transfer.” When charge transfer occurs in your earbuds, power from your device gets converted into energy within your earbuds’ batteries
There are also some apps on smartphones and computers (like iTunes) that can affect how long an Airpod or other Bluetooth accessories last
The overall quality of your AirPods’ charging cord can also affect their battery life
The battery used in the left airpod is of a higher capacity than that used in the right one
When they are charging, they are sending power back and forth between each other, which uses up power too
Your earbuds might not be working properly, causing them to drain more power than normal
If you have an iPhone 7 or 7 Plus, you may have experienced a problem where your AirPods would suddenly stop working after the battery level reached zero
You can charge your Airpods faster by plugging them into the charging case rather than just into the wall
The case itself can affect your Airpods’ battery life, as well as how it charges them; some people have experienced longer battery life and/or faster charging when they use the case with their AirPods

Charging Case Feint

The charging case feint is caused by the deterioration of the circuit board in the charging case. If you notice that your airpod stopped playing audio and started to get hot, then this is a sign that it has been overcharged or worn out. If it is not charged and has become damaged, the circuit board may have to be replaced.
The airpod feint is caused by the deterioration of battery cells inside an airpod. This may happen if you leave your airpod in a hot place for too long, and it gets too much charge or overcharge. This can also happen if you take an airpod out of its charging case without fully removing it from its casing first.
The earbud feint is caused by electrical interference from other equipment that is being used with your earbuds at the same time (such as Bluetooth devices) or electrical interference from other sources (such as power lines). ‍
The earbud feint is caused by an obstruction of the earbuds. This can happen if you are wearing the AirPods in a way that your ear is not able to fit fully inside the airpod. Other reasons for this may be if you are wearing a hat or if you have hair in your ears which may prevent the airpod from fitting correctly. ‍
The earbud feint is caused by an obstruction of the charging case. This can happen if you are not careful with your charging case, and it gets thrown around or dropped on the floor too much, causing internal damage to the circuit board and battery cells inside it.‍

Software Problem

The software problem is caused by a corrupted file. This can happen if you download the wrong version of the Airpods firmware and it corrupts your Airpod’s software. ‍
The software problem is caused by the Airpods not being properly paired with your iPhone/iPad/Macbook. If you are having issues with this, you should try to re-pair your Airpod with your device using Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). If this still doesn’t work, make sure that your device has the latest iOS version installed and try to update it to see if that resolves any connectivity issues you may be having with the Airpods. ‍
The software problem is caused by the Airpods being paired with your Macbook through Bluetooth. If this is happening, you should try to turn off your Macbook (not just put it in sleep mode) and pair them again using the steps above. ‍
The software problem is caused by a corrupted file on your iPhone. This can happen if you download a song from iTunes that has a corrupt file, and the Airpods don’t recognize the song when playing it back because the Airpods are trying to read data from a corrupt file. If this happens, you should try to update your iPhone’s firmware to see if that resolves any connectivity issues with your Airpods. ‍
The software problem is caused by an incorrect pairing between your iPhone and Airpod in case of an accidental pairing or one of the devices being paired with each other more than once during its connection process. To solve this, go back through all of your steps again and make sure that everything was done correctly as instructed before moving on to the next step above (Step 5). ‍

Conclusion

The good news is that when one Airpod dies faster than the other, it’s usually due to one of the explanations above. It’s not due to a design flaw, and it doesn’t mean that the Airpods are generally less durable than other wireless headphones. It’s just a quirk that happens in a small number of cases. If you’ve noticed this phenomenon with your Airpods, don’t worry — it’s nothing to get stressed about. It’s just a quirk of the way the Apple W1 chip works or a fault in the charging case.
