No time is stated for charging the earbuds or the case.1Maker product pageeu.nothing.tech/products/ear-openRead 15 October 2026Footnotes 7 and 8. The earbud and case charge times are not published.
The charging case runs on 5 V plus or minus 5 percent over USB-C. Shokz advises against higher-voltage chargers. The case does not support wireless charging. Charge times come from Shokz lab tests.
