What Does mAh Mean for Earbuds and Headphones?

mAh stands for milliampere-hour and shows how much electrical charge a battery can store. A higher mAh number means the battery can deliver power for a longer time before needing a recharge.

Why mAh is important

  • Higher mAh – longer playtime per charge
  • Lower mAh – smaller, lighter battery but shorter playtime
  • Charging case mAh affects how many times you can recharge your earbuds

Use mAh as a rough indicator of battery life, but always check the claimed playtime hours too. Good power management can make a smaller battery last longer.
