How to charge your Galaxy Buds
Charge your Galaxy Buds and Samsung phone together
How long does it take to charge Samsung Galaxy Buds?
Charging time for Samsung Galaxy Buds can vary slightly depending on the model, but most follow a similar pattern. When placed in the case, the earbuds typically take about one hour to fully charge. Charging the case itself via a USB-C cable usually takes between 90 minutes and two hours. If you’re using a Qi wireless charging pad, expect slightly longer times, generally around two hours.
Model-specific differences are minimal. Galaxy Buds 2 and Buds FE take roughly 60 minutes to charge in the case, while the Galaxy Buds Pro and Buds2 Pro may take up to 75 minutes. The Galaxy Buds Live also charge fully in about an hour. Many of these models support fast charging, meaning that a quick 10-minute top-up in the case can provide approximately one hour of playback time.
Tips for extending Galaxy Buds battery life
To get the most out of your Galaxy Buds and preserve long-term battery health, keep these tips in mind:
- Store the earbuds in the case when not in use: this prevents idle battery drain.
- Avoid leaving them on the charger overnight: especially via wired connections.
- Use wireless charging when convenient, as it typically generates less heat than fast wired charging.
- Keep the charging contacts clean: debris can interfere with efficient charging.
- Avoid exposing the case to extreme heat, such as leaving it in a car on a hot day.
Following these habits can help maintain battery performance and extend the lifespan of both the earbuds and the case.
