People always look for more ways to make online calls easier and hassle-free, which AirPods definitely help with. Apple's wireless earbuds provide top-quality audio and a built-in microphone, making it easy to handle calls or enjoy auditory content on your PC.

Because AirPods are often used for hours at a time, many people are looking for ways to check the battery life on their devices. The battery level indicated how much time you have left before you need to change your AirPods and switch to different sound inputs and outputs.

While it's easy to check AirPods battery on an iPhone or Mac computer thanks to the fluent design, the process is a bit trickier if you use your Apple AirPods with a Windows 10 or 11 computer.

Easy Ways To Check AirPods Battery Level

After connecting AirPods to Windows 10, install the MagicPods app and run it. Follow the on-screen instructions to get the app working and learn its capabilities. Now, go to the Battery Info tab. There you will find AirPods battery level and a charging case battery level. But there is more to this.

Checking the battery level of your AirPods is essential to ensure you don't run out of juice in the middle of using them.

If you just quickly want to take a glance at the battery status and don't need to use Windows to do it - for example, if you have an iPhone nearby - there are some simple ways to do just that: 

#1. Check on an iOS device widgets 

If you have an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch nearby, you can easily check the exact percentage of your AirPods battery levels with the battery widgets. To do this, check the battery widget or the battery levels when your AirPods show up to connect.

The charge for your case appears only when at least one AirPod is in the case.

#2. Check AirPod battery on a Mac

If you have a macOS operating device nearby, check how much battery you have left by looking at the menu bar or in the Control Center. If your AirPods are paired, you can easily check the AirPods battery:

1. Open the lid or take your AirPods out of the case.
2. Click the Bluetooth icon in the menu bar.
3. Hover the pointer over your AirPods in the menu.

#3. Put them in the AirPods case temporarily

You can get an idea about your AirPods battery percentage by placing them in the charging case for a little bit. Keep the case lid lifted and then close it. Wait a few seconds to see the charge status of your AirPods. They have ample battery levels if the status light shows a green light. If it's orange light, they're below 80% charge.

#4. Use your Apple Watch

You can easily glance at your AirPods battery using your Apple Watch, similar to how it works on another iOS device.

If you don't own an iOS device and need to check the battery of your AirPods on a Windows PC, we've still got you covered.

How to Check AirPods Battery Level on Windows 10/11?

The methods we've outlined above are all suitable if you have an iOS device to check the AirPods battery percentage with. However, the process is a bit different if you're using your AirPods with a Windows 10 or 11 computer.

Unlike with an iPhone, there's no quick and easy way to check how much juice your AirPods have left while they're still connected to your PC.

However, there are still a couple of ways that you can do it. If you're willing to download third-party apps, that is!

Let's look at the different apps available to show AirPods battery status and AirPods battery percentage on Windows 10 and 11.

1. Bluetooth Battery Monitor

One of the most popular ways to check your AirPods battery level is to use a third-party app called Bluetooth Battery Monitor. This app is designed to show you the battery levels of all your Bluetooth devices in one place, so it's perfect for checking on your AirPods.

To get started, head to the website and download the latest version of the app. Once it's installed, open it up and click on the gear icon in the top-right corner to open the settings menu.

Find the " Devices " section in the settings menu and click "Add device."

In the "Add device" window, select your AirPods from the list of available devices and click "Add."

Your AirPods should now appear in the app window. The percentage next to your AirPods indicates how much charge they have left.

If you want, you can also set up the app to show a notification when your AirPods' battery gets low. To do this, head back into the settings menu and find the section labeled "Notifications." Then, check the box next to "Show notifications for low battery devices."

You can also use the app to see a history of your AirPods' battery levels over time. To do this, head back into the main app window and click on the "History" tab. Here, you'll be able to see a graph of your AirPods' battery level over the past day, week, or month.

2. Battery Stats

Another popular app for checking your AirPods battery percentage is Battery Stats. This app is similar to the first one but has a few extra features.

To get started, head to the Microsoft Store and download the latest app version. Once it's installed, open it up and click on the "Devices" tab.

In the "Devices" tab, find your AirPods in the list of available devices and click on them.

You should now see your AirPods' battery level in the main window. You can also see how much run time you have left at different battery levels.

For example, if your AirPods are currently at 50% battery, you'll be able to see how much time you have left before they need to be recharged.

3. Magic Pods

The best option on this list is an app called Magic Pods. While this software is paid, it offers a 7-day trial so that you can test it out before you decide whether or not to purchase it.

This app is designed specifically for checking AirPods battery levels and provides many features that the other apps on this list don't offer. For example, Magic Pods can show you the battery level of each AirPod individually and an estimated time until they need to be recharged.

The MagicPods app also lets you see how much battery your AirPods case has left. This is useful if you're trying to conserve power and only want to charge your AirPods when absolutely necessary.

To get started with Magic Pods, purchase and install the latest version of the software from the Microsoft Store.

Once it's installed, it should automatically try connecting AirPods. Connect AirPods to your Windows PC, and you can start using the app. Of course, it also works with AirPods Pro and AirPods Max.

You'll be able to check the battery percentage of both your AirPods and Magic Pods even offers an iOS-style notification to let you know if the battery percentage is low.
