The earpieces snap into place in the case magnetically, with the charging contact points on the inner side of the stems.

It features both USB Type-C fast charging and Qi wireless charging, a pairing button on the side, and indicator lights at the front for the battery status and UVnano cleaning status. The charging case is small and quite nice to hold.
