All you need to do is connect one end of the cable to the ear buds and other to the power source to charge it fully. It's that easy, or is it? In this guide, you'll learn how to charge Beats Studio Buds properly to prolong their life cycle.

Their high capacity, portability, safety, and quietness ensure that your earbuds are fully charged all the time, so you don't have to worry.
Beats Studio Buds Charging Basics
Beats Studio Buds are a set of true wireless earbuds with noise cancellation and support for Dolby Atmos and Apple's Spatial Audio format. Its lively sound quality and powerful battery mean you can enjoy solid audio for a longer period. This is further complemented by its comfortable ear tips. Here are a few things you must know about Beats Studio Buds:
Pairing: Beats earbuds, alongside Apple, are designed to work with Android phones with just a tap. Just bring your phone in the proximity, and you'll see a pop-up on the screen, which means it's ready to pair.
Design: The case is egg-shaped with a USB-C port on the bottom and an indicator LED in the front. Pop it open to reveal the sleek and small Beats earbuds, which slip and fit firmly into the ear without any fin or over-ear hooks. These are already comfortable, but to maximize it, make sure to try out the ear tips and get one that fits you the best. In this manner, these stick to your ear canal and, thereby, provide an excellent listening experience.
Controls: Controlling music with Beats Studio Buds is quite straightforward, and you just have to press the Beats logo button on either side. Press once to pause/play audio, double to skip to the next track, and thrice to listen to the previous track. You can also press the logo for a few seconds to activate the voice assistant.
Charging: Beats Studio Buds, with its charging case, provides a total playback time of 24 hours and around 8 hours for each earbud. When you're ready to charge them, put both earbuds in the charging case and connect the latter to a power source with a USB-C cable included in the package. It takes between 1 to 2 hours to fully charge a depleted battery, but with its Fast Fuel, you get up to 1 hour and 5 minutes of playback on a 5-minute charge. You can also charge the case without earbuds.
How to Prepare for Charging Beats Studio Buds?
Before you start charging your Beats Studio Buds, check into a few things to ensure a smooth and easy process:
- Battery Level: First, check the battery level of your earbuds. Mac users can navigate and click the Bluetooth menu button while using the app to see how much juice is left in their earbuds and charging case. The lower the battery level, the more time it takes to charge the Beats Studio Buds fully, and vice versa.
- Power Source: Aside from the battery level, ensure the power source is suitable for charging the earbuds. In other words, check if the USB-C charging is compatible with the power source, and if you don't, you might run into the risk of damaging the earbuds. For example, using a laptop or PC as a Beats Studio Buds chargerwon't work.
- Placing the Earbuds: Always remove the buds from the case before charging. But if you want to charge them simultaneously, place them properly in the case before you plug them into the power source.
With these steps, you can ensure that your earbuds are ready to charge and will be ready in about 1-2 hours, depending on how much energy to fill.
How to Charge Beats Studio Buds?
Now that you're prepared, read through the section to understand the step-by-step process of charging the earbuds and resume listening to music as soon as possible.
Step 1: Connect one end of the USB-C charging cable to the bottom of the case and the other end to the power source.
Step 2: Wait for a few seconds for the indicator light on the case to turn on, and keep the case plugged in until the light changes color. It indicates that your case is fully charged.
Now, let's understand the indicator colors. If the battery is less than 40%, the indicator turns red and stays red if the charger isn't plugged properly. It turns white when the earbuds start charging and amber when it's 50% complete. Remove the USB-C cable as soon as the indicator light turns green.
As mentioned earlier, you can charge the case and earbuds simultaneously. Although you can utilize its Fast Fuel feature, it's recommended that you fully charge them the first time. Then, charge them according to your needs by following the steps in order.
Moving on, although the charging process is a bit straightforward, there's more to ensuring compatibility with the power source. Here are a few safety tips to keep in mind during the charging of your Beats Studio Buds:
- Do not use any cable other than USB-C to charge your earbuds, as you might run into the risk of damaging them.
- Before charging, make sure that the case/earbuds aren't a bit wet, as it also potentially damages them.
- Keep the charging station as far away from any flammable liquids or materials as possible, as they might pose a fire hazard.
- Be sure to charge the buds in a room at an optimal temperature to avoid damaging them.
Follow these safety tips to charge your earbuds and their case safely and properly. But if, under any circumstances, things go sideways, take them to a repair center rather than trying on your own, as you might damage the case and yourself, as well.
Charging the Beats Studio Buds might not be rocket science, but if you're outdoors without power sources, get a portable power station compatible with the earbuds. Some popular battery backups include Jackery Explorer 300 Plus Portable Power Station and Jackery Explorer 100 Plus Portable Power Station. You can charge these via Jackery SolarSaga Solar Panels, a car charger, and an AC outlet. Once its battery is charged, plug in your earbuds and start recharging.
How Long Does It Take to Charge The Beats Studio Buds?
Beats Studio Buds typically take around one and a half hours if placed in a case and the battery has depleted completely. If the case itself needs charging, plugging it into an optimal power source with a USB-C cable takes around 2 hours to charge fully. Besides, as mentioned earlier, its Fast Fuel mode comes in handy if you don't have the time to charge the buds fully. It provides up to 1 hour and 5 minutes of playback on a mere five minutes of charge.

Why Won't My Beats Studio Buds Charge?
Beats Studio Buds are probably one of the best in the retail space, but they have a charging case that's hard to match. That said, the earbuds are still prone to charging issues, as typical with these products, which are as follows:
Overheated Case: Beats Studio Buds only work at a certain temperature change, including typical body or average temperature. But, if the weather is scorching for an extended period, chances are that your case might be overheating and, in turn, affecting its functionality.
Complete Battery Drain: If you haven't used the earbuds for a long time, they might have completely lost their charge. In such cases, the indicator on the charging case won't turn on when the earbuds are placed inside to charge. This means the buds aren't charging or are charging slower than you're accustomed to seeing.
Broken Charger: Your Beats Studio Buds aren't charging, which doesn't always indicate damage to the case or earbuds, but the cable/charger you use to charge it. A broken/faulty charger can't supply the electricity needed, causing the earbuds not to charge.
Dirty Case: The charging case is designed to fit seamlessly into your pockets, backpacks, or purse when you travel. However, this exposes the case to dust, lint, or other debris, which can further make its way inside and block the connection with earbuds, making charging much more difficult.
Connection Issue: Aside from the listed reasons, there might be some minor software issue or glitch with the case. Although rare, this can also happen even after properly rebooting it regularly.
