How long will your apple airpod pros charge only lasts 3-4 hours. Even when I am using just the noise canceling feature and not listening to music which seems to shorten the time more. How long should the charge last?

My air-pod pros charge only lasts 2-4 hours. Seems when using for sound suppression only, it lasts longer, maybe 4 hrs max. When working with music on even less maybe 3hrs. Talking to other people with these they say they get more than this. Any ideas how to get more time out of them as they are not working for my job at all with this problem.

AirPods Pro

  • Up to 4.5 hours of listening time with a single charge (up to 5 hours with Active Noise Cancellation and Transparency off)4
  • Up to 3.5 hours of talk time with a single charge5


  1. Testing conducted by Apple in October 2019 using preproduction AirPods Pro with Wireless Charging Case and software paired with iPhone 11 Pro Max units and prerelease software. The playlist consisted of 358 unique audio tracks purchased from the iTunes Store (256-Kbps AAC encoding). Volume was set to 50% and Active Noise Cancellation was enabled. With Active Noise Cancellation and Transparency turned off, listening time was up to 5 hours. Testing consisted of full AirPods Pro battery discharge while playing audio until the first AirPod Pro stopped playback. Battery life depends on device settings, environment, usage, and many other factors.
