Apple AirPods charging cable

As an AirPods Pro user, you depend on recharging them regularly. An AirPods Pro charging cable is therefore essential if you want to keep enjoying music in the highest quality or use your in-ears for video calls.

Today we want to give you all the important facts about the AirPods Pro charging cable. After reading this article, you'll not only be able to impress with your knowledge, you'll also understand why you should only ever choose an original charging cable for your AirPods Pro.

How often do AirPods Pro need to be charged?

To answer this question, we can only rely on the manufacturer's specifications. However, these don't take your individual usage into account. Energy consumption is much higher when you're on a call than when you're just listening to music, as the microphones also need power when they're in active use.

As a guideline, you can assume up to 6 hours of music listening on a single charge. For voice calls, the time on one charge is estimated at 4.5 hours. You'll probably end up somewhere between these two values.

The good news for all users is that you don't have to plug your AirPods Pro into a socket straight away after this number of hours. You simply need to put them back in the AirPods Pro charging case – it stores extra energy that gives you a total listening time of up to 30 hours for music. As for talk time, Apple promises up to 24 hours with one battery charge.

How can I charge my AirPods Pro?

As described above, the earbuds are charged via the charging case. As a rule of thumb, you can go by the following: five minutes in the charging case gives the in-ears enough power for one hour of use. To charge them fully, they need to stay in the charging case for a good 30 minutes.

As soon as the charging case's energy reserve is running low, it has to be charged with an AirPods Pro charging cable. For this you need either a USB port on a device such as a computer or power bank, or a USB power adapter. In any case, however, the original AirPods Pro charging cable is required. You're free to use a USB adapter to plug into a socket or to draw power directly from a USB port.

What's handy is that the charging case can be used for more than just charging. Most people always carry it with them as a travel case and extra power reserve.

How to check the current battery status

Fortunately, you don't have to guess how much power is left in your charging case. Apple has developed a battery indicator that tells you at any time whether you'll need to charge your AirPods Pro soon. You have two options:

• Check the battery level on the playback device: the playback device paired with the AirPods shows how much battery the in-ears have left.
• Check the status via the charging case: when the AirPods are in the charging case, the case's status indicators show the AirPods' charge level. When they're not in the case, you can see the battery level of the case itself.

What should I do if I need a new AirPods Pro charging cable?

Of course, it can happen that your AirPods Pro charging cable gets lost or breaks after heavy use. In both cases, you need a fast and reliable replacement so you can keep using your in-ears as usual. More and more users are getting a second charging cable so they can charge their AirPods Pro in several places. With one cable in your desk drawer at work and one at home, you can charge the charging case both at work and at home.

We always advise you to use only original charging cables for your AirPods Pro. Only then can you be sure that you can make full use of the battery's capacity. What's more, thanks to the manufacturer's warranty, you can rely on not being left with the costs if a defect in your earbuds is caused by the charging cable.

Given the modest saving between an original AirPods Pro charging cable and a cheap third-party cable, you should never choose the cheaper option.

Where can I buy a cable to charge my AirPods Pro?

At this point, we'd like to introduce our range for all AirPods fans. We have a special selection of replacement parts for AirPods of various generations. This of course includes the AirPods Pro charging cable.

We wanted to create a range of original replacement parts, because you don't always have to buy a new bundle straight away if the left AirPod Pro has been lost or the right one is faulty. As a customer, you can save a lot of money with our range, as you only pay for the component you actually want to replace.

Together we protect the environment, because far fewer resources are used when a bundle is split up and the replacement parts are sold to several customers. By selling the two earbuds, the charging case and the charging cable individually, we can make four different customers happy who would otherwise each have had to buy a complete, expensive set.

Order around the clock

But we don't just want to win you over with our idea and the chance to save money. We have very high standards for our customer service, which is why we always offer free shipping. So for a cable to charge your AirPods Pro, you pay nothing more than the item price shown in our online shop – which is, of course, open to you around the clock.

Our shop is designed to be very clear, so you can quickly find the replacement parts you need. We offer individual components for AirPods Pro as well as AirPods (second and third generation).
