  • Spigen Rugged Armor

    While a traditional silicone case can protect against falls and prevent minor damage if you're a user who spends a lot of time outdoors, a rugged option can go a long way by absorbing a much higher level of impact. This option from Spigen will add that exact type of protection to your AirPods.

  • Twelve South AirSnap Pro

Our recommendations

Read ahead to see some of our ideas on how you may combine some of the accessories listed here or which ones you should get to improve your user experience or safeguard your purchase.

For better fit and audio quality

If you’re looking to improve the fit and audio quality received from the AirPods, we recommend pairing either of the mentioned ear hooks with the foam tips. As indicated by the profiles above, the ear hooks will help keep with increased friction, and the foam will expand to form a better seal.

For those who travel

Next, if you find yourself in airplanes frequently, the Twelve South AirFly Pro is a versatile gadget that will help you make the most of your AirPods Pro and its ANC feature when on a flight. The foam tips can once again play a significant role in ensuring a good seal, so perhaps you may pair the two.

If traveling includes outdoor excursions, you should also pick AirPods Pro cases from SUPCASE, Spigen, or Catalyst, as these options can add a layer of water or shock resistance to your AirPods case because Apple only rates the earbuds to have an IPX4 rating. The case, on the other hand, is susceptible to water damage.
