Why do I have to use the charging cradle to charge my Jaybird Tarah Pro earbuds?

The Tarah Pro earbuds have been designed to prevent any damage from liquids, including water and sweat. This sealed earbud design requires the use of the charging cradle to ensure the correct contacts are made during charging. Because of this, the charging cradle must be used to charge the earbuds.

The charging cradle is not water resistant, so please ensure your earbuds are completely dry before charging.
