Charging guidance
The guide estimates up to 60 minutes for earbuds and three hours for the charging case with earbuds by USB-C, or four hours wirelessly. The FAQ separately estimates about 50 minutes for earbuds, two hours for an empty case by cable, 2.5 hours with earbuds, and 3.5 hours for an empty case wirelessly. These are maker estimates with different component scopes and unspecified test details. Input is 5 V 0.8 A. Dry the earbuds and USB-C port before charging. Ten minutes of earbud charging in the case claims up to five hours of playback, with ANC, codec and Dolby settings unspecified. The FAQ also claims four hours with Dual Connections plus LDAC/Dolby Sound, without specifying ANC or resolving the slash conditions.3Owner's manualsalesforce-knowledge-download.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/000025116/en_US/000025116.pdfRead 8 October 2026Guide input is 5 V 0.8 A. Its separate applicable Anker A2337 adapter example is rated up to 30 W and does not establish device charging wattage or a supplied adapter.
The product page image lists 1.5 hours of fast charging for the earbuds and does not give a starting charge level or say whether the earbuds are full after it. The manual says a full charge for both the earbuds and the case takes approximately 2 hours, and that the case will not charge the earbuds when its own battery is below 5 percent.1Maker product pagetozostore.com/products/nc3-headphoneRead 20 October 2026Product image: 1.5 hrs fast charging for earbuds, next to the 13 hours and 55 hours figures. Nothing else says what the 1.5 hours measures.8Owner's manuals3-us.tozostore.com/tozo/pdfRenderer/web/docs/UserManual/TOZO/NC3.pdfRead 21 October 2026Section 7.3: a full charge for both the earbuds and the case needs approximately 2 hours. The case will not charge the earbuds when its battery is below 5 percent. Page 12: the charger must deliver between 2.5 W and 5.0 W, and 5.0 W gives the maximum charging speed.
