Audible Badges are one of the many awesome incentives and rewards offered by Audible. You’ll find them in the form of little notifications that pop up while you’re listening to an audiobook, letting you know that you’ve unlocked a new badge.
These mysterious little badges help keep you motivated to listen to even more audiobooks, but it can sometimes be hard to figure out exactly why you’ve been awarded one.
But fear not, in this post, I’m going to break down the mystery behind Audible Badges. I’ll tell you what each of the different ones are and how to earn more of them. After all, listening to audiobooks is great fun, but competing with yourself to get to the top of the leaderboard makes your listening time even more fun!
Introducing Audible Badges
If you have an Audible account, and you’ve listened to a few audiobooks already, it’s quite likely that you’ve already earned a few badges, even if you don’t know it yet. But you won’t be able to see and keep track of your Audible Badges without downloading the free Audible app.
Simply click on the “more” tab at the bottom of the app, and head over to the “me” section. Here, you’ll find any badges you’ve already earned.
You earn Audible badges for all sorts of things, which I’ll get to shortly. If you’re a regular audiobook reader, you’ll see that you can quickly rack up a big selection of Audible Badges, and a great sense of satisfaction to go with it!
The Full List of Audible Badges and How to Earn Them
There are fifteen Audible Badges in total. Within each badge category, you can earn either a Silver, Gold, or Diamond level. Once you’ve achieved Diamond level on each badge, you can pretty much claim to have “completed” Audible!
I’ll explain what each badge means and how to earn it below, but you can also investigate your achievements by heading over to the app and clicking on the badges you’ve already earned. Below each unlocked badge, it will tell you what level you are at and what you did to achieve it.
Click on any badges that you haven’t already earned, and it’ll show you a magic poem, kind of like a riddle. Decypher this riddle to find out exactly what you need to do to unlock that badge.
Still can’t figure out how to unlock those elusive Audible Badges? Worry not; I’ve got you covered.
So, without further ado, in no particular order, here’s the full list of Audible Badges and what you need to do to unlock them:

To earn a Gold Daily Dipper Badge, listen every day for at least 30 days.
To earn a Diamond Daily Dipper Badge, listen every day for at least 90 days.

To earn a Gold High Noon Badge, listen for at least 3 hours over lunchtime.
To earn a Diamond High Noon Badge, listen for at least 4 hours over lunchtime.
11. Marathoner
The Marathoner Badge is much harder to achieve. You’ll have to listen to an audiobook for at least 16 hours straight (yes, it’s cheating if you fall asleep!)
To earn a Silver Marathon Badge, listen for at least 16 hours straight.
To earn a Gold Marathon Badge, listen for at least 18 hours straight.
To earn a Diamond Marathon Badge, listen for at least 24 hours straight.
12. The Stack
The Stack Badge is all about your personal audiobook library. The more books you collect, the more you can achieve.

To earn a Diamond Stack Badge, you must have at least 500 books in your library.
13. The Closer
The Closer Badge encourages you to finish all the audiobooks you start. Sometimes it’s worth persevering if you’re not sure about a book, and this badge helps you do just that.
To earn a Silver Closer Badge, complete 1 book start to finish.
To earn a Gold Closer Badge, complete 5 books start to finish.
To earn a Diamond Closer Badge, complete 10 books start to finish.
14. Dabbler
The Dabbler Badge is the perfect badge for those who fail to get a Closer badge, since it’s all about trying out lots of different titles, not necessarily finishing them!
To earn a Silver Dabbler Badge, listen to parts of 3 different audiobooks in one day.
To earn a Gold Dabbler Badge, listen to parts of 15 different audiobooks in one day.
To earn a Diamond Dabbler Badge, listen to parts of 40 different audiobooks in one day.
15. Nibbler
Like the Dabbler, variety is key when it comes to acquiring a Nibbler badge, but in this case, you have to finish the audiobooks you start. Since there are tons of titles that are super short (less than 10 minutes!), it’s easier than it sounds.
To earn A Silver Nibbler badge, listen to 3 separate audiobooks in one day.
To earn A Gold Nibbler badge, listen to 15 separate audiobooks in one day.
To earn A Diamond Nibbler badge, listen to 40 separate audiobooks in one day.
Audible Badge FAQs
Q1. What if I uninstall my Audible app or lose my phone? Will I lose my badge rewards too?
Ans:- No, don’t worry. Your Audible Badges are stored in Amazon’s Cloud, so even if you lose your device and have to reinstall the app on a new one, you can pick right back up where you left off.
Q2. Will sharing my Audible library with my friends affect my Audible Badge collection?
Ans:- Absolutely not! Audible encourages all their users to share their library with each other and get inspiration for new great titles, but you don’t have to worry about losing all your hard earned badges! Badges are synced to each person’s individual Audible account and will never be transferred and shared with any other account, even if you share your library.
Q3. Can I view my Audible Badge collection through the Audible website?
Ans:- Unfortunately not. To view and track your badge collection, you must download the Audible app. But don’t worry, it’s totally free for all Audible members.
I hope I’ve unraveled the mystery behind Audible Badges in this post. Now that you know what they’re all about, you can start thinking about taking your collection to the next level.
