Charging guidance
Less than 2 hours from empty. The maker does not separate earbud and case charging time.14Maker spec sheet (PDF)jbl.com/on/demandware.static/-/Sites-masterCatalog_Harman/default/dw4da7bc81/pdfs/JBL%20Vibe%20Beam_%20Specsheet_EN.pdfRead 8 October 2026The original Vibe Beam technical table on page 2 states charging time below two hours from empty. It does not identify whether that estimate covers earbuds, case, or both. The published guidance is retained without assigning it to earbuds-only or case-only full-charge fields. The maker webpage rounds the generic estimate to two hours.
