Despite what that one person said, these DO NOT use a AAA battery as their power source. I'm not exactly sure where you would put the AAA battery in these small earbuds. Some of them will come almost fully charged, others will come half charged, and others will come almost empty. My earbuds were almost full whenever I opened them but my wife's were nearly empty. It's all random. Now, you do not need to plug these in and charge them overnight or for any other long period of time for their first charge. At this point, that's an "old wive's tale" dating back to when portable devices relied on NiMH and various other Ni-based batteries with terrible controllers. Modern devices (ones made within the last ~9 years) use Li-ion batteries with smart electronics to control them. Leaving these earbuds plugged in for an extended period of time won't do anything because, once the battery is full, the controller chip will shut off the charging power source. This prevents the battery from being overcharged and ruined. You also don't need to fully drain these before charging them. Again, that isn't how modern batteries operate.

Use the earbuds like normal and you'll be fine. Charge them whenever you have time (though I wouldn't keep them full all the time) and use them regularly. The battery in them should last a good 4 years before it starts to deteriorate and, by then, you'll be looking at getting a new pair of earbuds/headphones anyways.

I would recommend fully charging them before their first use. Mine took less than 30 minutes, so they come almost fully charged.

I used my headset right out the box without charging it. It lasted for 3 days before I had to charge it.

I used mine until the battery was down to ten percent. Everytime you content them it will tell you the battery percentage and if there paired. When you charge them there's a light that comes on to tell you there charging and when there fully charged.

I always give a full charge before first use. About 4 hours that's just me personally.

They are well charged straight out of the box. They have lithium-ion batteries that claim to not have a memory. I used mine right out of the box until they needed a charge. They took only a couple of hours to fully charge. They have lasted 6-8 hours fully charged.

Mine worked out of box, should only need to charge for about an hour or two for full charge.

My charge super fast. It days 2 hours but mine charge fully in like 45 mins! There's like a 50% charge when you buy so you should charge out of box. Like half an hour. Never overcharge or you kill your battery after so many times.

It comes with a 70% charge and you may want to charge it for 1 hour before you get a 100% usage.

This headphones use one triple AAA, so no need to charge.
