Apple 的 AirPods为耳塞设定了标准(standard for earbuds)。它们舒适、持久，并被大多数新耳塞效仿以进入市场。但它们并非没有问题，其中之一就是AirPods 不断以不同的速度死亡(AirPods keep dying at different rates)。
发生这种情况有几个常见的原因。好消息是大多数原因都有简单的修复，所以没有理由恐慌。如果您发现其中一个AirPod不像另一个那样充电，请潜入并探索罪魁祸首。
1.检查你的电池盒
如果一个AirPod比另一个死得更快，您应该做的第一件事是检查充电盒。电池寿命不均通常可归因于污垢。让我们面对现实吧：耳朵可能很粗糙，耳垢有时会进入外壳并沾到充电触点上。如果您的AirPod未完全连接，则可能存在充电问题。
使用Q-Tip或类似的清洁工具擦拭触点。通常不需要使用任何类型的解决方案（事实上，它可能会损坏您的案例）；相反，请尽可能彻底地清洁触点，如果AirPods看起来像《捉鬼敢死队(Ghostbusters)》的结尾，请注意不要将它们放回外壳中。如果您确实想用液体清洁AirPods ，请将(AirPods)Q-Tip浸入 70% 异丙醇中并让它们完全干燥，然后再将AirPods放回外壳中。
2. 一个 AirPod 使用 Siri
AirPod 之所以(AirPod)与众不同，是因为它们可以编程。一个可以跳过/暂停/播放歌曲，而另一个可以激活你的智能助手或其他东西。关键是设置为使用Siri的(Siri)AirPod通常会比另一个更快地耗电。您只需在 AirPods 设置中轻点几下
即可禁用 Siri 。(disable Siri)
- 在 iPhone 上，打开设置(Settings)应用程序> Bluetooth。
- 点击 AirPods 旁边的“i”。
- 寻找Press And Hold Options，然后选择死得更快的AirPod。
如果选择了Siri，请改为选择“噪音控制(Noise Control)” 。AirPods 可对允许进入的声音量进行精细控制，例如(granular level of control)降噪(Noise Cancellation)和通透(Transparency)。禁用其中一些可选功能也可以延长电池寿命。
3. 你更频繁地使用一个 AirPod
当有人开始和你说话时，你是暂停音乐并同时戴上两只AirPods听，还是从耳朵里拔出一只？大多数情况下，人们会在AirPod 上移除——而且(AirPod—and)通常每次都是同一个。另一个AirPod仍留在您的耳朵中并处于活动状态，这会耗尽其电池电量。
如果您倾向于将一只AirPod拿出来与他人交谈，您可能会发现留在耳朵里的那只 AirPod 流失得更快，尤其是当您重新开始播放音乐并且只在耳边留下一只时。
- 在 iPhone 或 iPad 上，打开Settings > Bluetooth。
- 在设备列表中找到您的 AirPods，然后点击它们旁边的“i”。
- 向下滚动(Scroll)到麦克风(Microphone)并点击它。
- 选择自动切换 AirPods(Select Automatically Switch AirPods)以使用相同数量的电池，而不是始终使用其中一个。
4. 麦克风仅在一个 AirPod 上有效
两款AirPods都配备了麦克风，但有时您可能只设置一个用作麦克风，而另一个只是一个扬声器。就像(Just)只为Siri使用一个AirPod一样，只使用一个来为你的麦克风供电会比另一个更快地耗尽它。
5. 你的 AirPods 损坏了
任何进入你耳朵的东西都会不时掉出并撞到地上。这只是生活中的事实（事实上，它可能只是万有引力定律）。虽然AirPod非常耐用，但反复摔倒会损坏它们。如果AirPod以恰到好处的角度撞击地面并损坏充电端口，则可能会降低整体电池电量。
如果您的 AirPods 在保修期内，那不是问题。如果不是，您可能需要将它们带到经过认证的维修店进行修理。制造缺陷远(Far)不如用户造成的损坏常见，它也可能导致类似的问题。
6.您的固件已过期
您的 AirPod 电池寿命可能会受到固件的影响(affected by your firmware)。虽然AirPod和AirPod Pro(AirPod Pros)倾向于自动更新，但有时您必须执行手动更新。首先(First)，检查您的AirPod固件版本。
- 在 iPhone 或 iPad 上，打开Settings > Bluetooth。
- 在设备列表中找到您的 AirPods(Find your AirPods)，然后点击它们旁边的“i”。
- 检查版本号。
AirPod固件的当前版本是 4E71，尽管最近的测试版更新意味着如果您运行测试版，您可能拥有版本 5A4304a。您可以通过将AirPods插入其外壳并通过(AirPods)Lightning电缆将其连接到电源来强制更新。将连接的 iPhone 或 iPad 放在AirPods旁边，稍后会安装更新。
7. 你需要重置你的 AirPods
另一个潜在问题是Airpods可能需要重置。这本质上只是意味着取消 AirPods 与 iOS 设备的配对和修复。
- 在 iPhone 或 iPad 上，打开Settings > Bluetooth。
- 在设备列表中找到您的 AirPods，然后点击它们旁边的“i”。
- 滚动到底部并选择忘记(Forget)此设备(Device)。
- 点击忘记设备。
取消配对AirPod 后(AirPod)，重新配对很简单。Apple设备在设计时考虑到了易于设置。只需(Just)将AirPod 保护(AirPod)套靠近手机并打开即可。
- 您的AirPod 保护(AirPod)套应出现在屏幕上。完成后，点击连接(Connect)。
- 在外壳仍然打开的情况下，按住外壳背面的按钮。
提示消失后，您的新 AirPods 将被连接。确切的过程可能会因您使用的是 AirPods 还是AirPod Pros而有所不同，但结果是相同的。
7 Reasons Why One AirPod Dies Faster Than the Other
Apple’s AirPods have set a standard for earbuds. They’re comfortable, long-lasting, and emulated by most new earbuds to hit the market. But they’re not without issues, one of which is that AirPods keep dying at different rates.
There are several common reasons why this might happen. The good news is that most causes have simple fixes, so there’s no reason to panic. If you notice one AirPod doesn’t charge like the other, dive in and explore the culprit.
1. Check Your Battery Case
If one AirPod dies faster than the other, the first thing you should do is check the charging case. Uneven battery life can often be attributed to grime. Let’s face it: ears can be gross, and earwax can sometimes make its way inside the case and get on the charging contacts. If your AirPod doesn’t fully connect, it might have recharging issues.
Take a Q-Tip or similar cleaning instrument and wipe down the contacts. There’s usually no need to use any kind of solution (in fact, it can damage your case); instead, clean the contacts as thoroughly as possible and take care not to put AirPods back in the case if they look like the end of Ghostbusters. If you do want to clean your AirPods with a liquid, dip your Q-Tip into 70% isopropyl alcohol and allow them to dry completely before placing the AirPods back into the case.
2. One AirPod Uses Siri
AirPods set themselves apart because they can be programmed. One could skip/pause/play songs, while the other could activate your smart assistant or something else. The key is that an AirPod set to use Siri will typically use power faster than the other. You can disable Siri with just a few taps in your AirPods settings.
- On your iPhone, open the Settings app > Bluetooth.
- Tap the “i” beside your AirPods.
- Look for the Press And Hold Options, then select the AirPod that dies more quickly.
If Siri is selected, choose Noise Control instead. AirPods provide a granular level of control over the amount of sound that’s let in, like Noise Cancellation and Transparency. Disabling some of these optional features can also improve the battery life.
3. You Use One AirPod More Often
When someone starts to talk to you, do you pause your music and listen with both AirPods in, or do you pull one out of your ear? Most of the time, people remove on AirPod—and it’s usually the same one every time. The other AirPod remains in your ear and active, which drains its battery.
If you tend to pull one AirPod out to speak with others, you might find the one that remains in your ear drains much faster, especially if you start your music back up and leave only one in your ear.
- On your iPhone or iPad, open Settings > Bluetooth.
- Find your AirPods in the device list and tap the “i” beside them.
- Scroll down to Microphone and tap it.
- Select Automatically Switch AirPods to use an equal amount of battery from each versus always using one or the other.
4. The Microphone Is Only Active On One AirPod
Both AirPods are equipped with microphones, but sometimes you might set only one to serve as the mic while the other is simply a speaker. Just like using only one AirPod for Siri, using only one to power your mic will drain it significantly faster than the other.
5. Your AirPods Are Damaged
Anything that goes into your ear will fall out and hit the ground from time to time. It’s just a fact of life (in fact, it might just be a law of gravity). While AirPods are pretty durable, repeated falls can damage them. If the AirPod hits the ground at just the right angle and damages the charging port, it can reduce the overall battery level.
If your AirPods are under warranty, that’s not a problem. If they aren’t, you might need to take them to a certified repair shop to be fixed. Far less common than user-inflicted damage is a manufacturing defect, which can also cause similar issues.
6. Your Firmware Is Out of Date
Your AirPod battery life might be affected by your firmware. While AirPods and AirPod Pros tend to update automatically, sometimes you have to perform a manual update. First, check your AirPod firmware version.
- On your iPhone or iPad, open Settings > Bluetooth.
- Find your AirPods in the device list and tap the “i” beside them.
- Check the version number.
The current version for AirPod firmware is 4E71, although a recent beta update means you might have version 5A4304a if you’re running the beta. You can force an update by inserting your AirPods into their case and connecting it to a power source via Lightning cable. Place the connected iPhone or iPad beside the AirPods, and the update will install after a short time.
7. You Need to Reset Your AirPods
Another potential problem is that Airpods might need to be reset. This essentially just means unpairing and repairing your AirPods to your iOS device.
- On your iPhone or iPad, open Settings > Bluetooth.
- Find your AirPods in the device list and tap the “i” beside them.
- Scroll to the bottom and select Forget This Device.
- Tap Forget Device.
Once you have unpaired your AirPods, re-pairing them is simple. Apple devices are designed with easy setup in mind. Just hold your AirPod case close to your phone and open it.
- Your AirPod case should appear on-screen. When it does, tap Connect.
- With the case still open, press and hold the button on the back of the case.
After the prompts disappear, your new AirPods will be connected. The exact process might vary based on whether you have AirPods or AirPod Pros, but the result is the same.
