USB C Cable for AirPods Pro

It is still unclear whether Apple will release new AirPods in 2023. However, the AirPods Pro 2, released in September 2022, has already transitioned to USB-C ports from the previous Lightning ports. It is therefore safe to presume that if Apple will release new AirPods in 2023, they will probably be using USB-C charging ports and cables.

It usually takes around 1.5 to 2 hours to fully charge your AirPods Pro depending on factors like AirPods model, charging wattage, cable quality, and so on. Using a high-quality cable supporting high wattage like the 100W max Anker 643 USB-C to USB-C Cable (Flow, Silicone) can significantly speed up charging.

Yes. USB-C cables charge generally faster than Lightning cables when it comes to charging. USB-C technology supports higher power delivery (PD), which allows for faster charging speeds. As an example of this, the Anker 765 USB-C to USB-C Cable (140W Nylon) supports a maximum wattage of 140W, far exceeding that required for AirPods.

When selecting a USB-C cable for your AirPods Pro, consider these important factors:

Brand Reputation: Stick to reputable brands known for quality and reliability like Anker, as third-party cables can vary in quality.

Certification: Look for cables that are MFi or USB-IF certified. This certification ensures safety and compatibility with your AirPods Pro.

Supported Wattage: Choose a cable with a high supported wattage, especially if you are using a high-wattage charger such as a 120 Watt charger. This allows for faster and more efficient charging for your AirPods Pro.

Length: Decide on the cable length that suits your needs. Longer cables offer more flexibility but may be less portable.

Durability: Opt for cables made with durable materials like braided nylon or reinforced connectors to withstand wear and tear.
