Apple’s AirPods Pro is the go-to option for any iPhone owner, but with the addition of ANC and other features, its battery life — while a respectable four and half hours of listening — is just par for the course. Hence, to help you stay on top of its battery levels, we have listed nine wireless chargers you should consider getting for your trusted earbuds.
Note: Just a heads up, if you happen to have put your earbuds down to charge and see they don’t reflect any change in percentage on your phone, make sure to read our guide on how to reset your AirPods which can help deal with any software-based errors that could have caused this situation.
Apple MagSafe Charger
Part of Apple’s new magnet-based accessory lineup, the MagSafe Charger is an item you’d pick for your iPhone 12 Series smartphone, but it doubles as a convenient wireless charger for your AirPods Pro. The pad features a silicone base laid within an aluminum housing, with a 1m long USB-C cable. For optimal charging, Apple recommends using its 20W USB-C Power Adapter, which you will have to purchase separately. The device is capable of 15W charging, meaning it will provide AirPods Pro with the required 5W.

Mophie Wireless Charging Pad
Mophie Wireless Charging Pad is an accessory manufactured by the accessory-maker in collaboration with Apple. It has a non-slip rubberized coating, which prevents your AirPods Case from picking up any unwanted scratches and ensures it doesn’t slip off the pad.

The device is capable of 7.5W charging, meaning it will provide the required 5W.

Our Recommended Wireless Chargers
The addition of Qi Wireless Charging to AirPods Pro is, in our opinion, an indispensable feature. For a device charged as frequently as these, it helps to not hunt for cables. Thus, if you’re always on the move, investing in Anker’s PowerCore III or Magnetic Power Bank is the best decision to make, whereas if you find yourself charging only at home Belkin 2-in-1 MagSafe Stand is a great-looking and highly functional option.
