Hi all just bought a pair of airpod pro 2 and have them hooked up to a iPhone X. I put them on my desk through the night to charge the buds. When I went out to work I put them in my ears and about 10 min later they now say they are 93%. And that’s without playing music but with half and half of noise and transparency on That does not sound right. ? Can anyone confirm as I would of thought that to be slower drop.

Only charged the whole Lot once when I bought them as they where on 60% out of the box before I used them.

Thanks
 
Is it possible they weren't fully charged when you removed them from the case? Even if they were charging all night, optimized battery charging sometimes slows to a trickle once they reach 80 percent. Maybe yours were only charged to 93 percent when you started using them.
 
I have horrible case battery drain too.
It’s about 15% per day without any use at all.

Someone suggested removing them from iCloud and pair them again, but the was no difference whatsoever.

It’s not the case it’s the pods.

I just bought them 4 days ago and put them on charge once since Owning them as they where 60% new. I have used them maybe 5 times for about an hour each So maybe it’s just because there new and need some more recharge cycles to get them up there from a power source.

The buds and case has been fully charged from power once from new and the buds have been charged 5 times from the case.

Can not remember if I checked them when I took them off the power to see if they where 100%.
 
I decided to look into this. And noticed in the small print that to get 6 hours of music playback and with ANC on apple tested this with a iPhone 14 and volume at 50%.

I have a iPhone X and was using volume levels about 70% ish so decided to set the music at 50% and tried playing music for 1 hour.

I did some calculations and if you take 100% and divide that into 6 for the hours that’s 16.4% per hour. Take that away from 100% leaves about 83% roughly.

I got just that with 50% volume. So this seems right its just I am using higher volume and using about 22% a hour.

I got a iPhone 14 but still busy setting it up but looks like you might not get better battery with the new iPhone 14 as it’s using a new Bluetooth standard but I am getting the right battery level at 50% volume it would be interesting to see if it does save some battery.
