Step 2: check the earbuds

When you put your earbuds in the charging case, they attach to a magnet. That doesn't necessarily mean that the earbuds are inserted properly and are getting charged. If your earbuds are empty and the charging case is full, make sure the earbuds are properly inserted into the case.

Clean charging case

Step 3: clean the connector

There might be dirt stuck in the connectors that prevents charging. Grab a clean, soft, and dry cloth and wipe the connectors on the charging case. Never use a damp cloth.
