What do the Lights on the Echo Buds (2021 release, 2nd gen) Case Mean?

The three LED lights on your Echo Buds case show the charging status for both ear buds and the case.

Tip: To check the battery life of Echo Buds, ask, "Alexa, what's my battery?"

Note: The LED light on the outside of the case means different things when the case is closed or open. When the case is closed, the LED light shows the battery status for whichever ear bud has the lowest battery level. When the case is open, the LED light tells you the battery status for the case. The two LED lights inside the case show the battery status for each ear bud.
