One other key characteristic: The bundled removable carabiner helps you to strap the AirPods case onto a belt loop or backpack or use it as a keychain case to assist preserve your wi-fi earbuds from getting misplaced.

For a number of years, Comply has been the gold normal for reminiscence foam ear suggestions and now you may get Comply suggestions in your AirPods Professional. I attempted them and so they work fairly properly, and even the big suggestions match simply high-quality within the AirPods Professional charging case. With the Apple-issued suggestions, I discovered that the AirPod Professional in my left ear bought a little bit unfastened after I ran with the buds. With the Comply tip, it did not get unfastened and match very securely. In addition they appear to assist a bit with noise-canceling since you get a fair tighter seal. 

Comply suggestions are pretty expensive at $21. You will get foam suggestions that price much less (extra like $12 to $15), however as I stated, Comply is the gold normal and it could be price paying a little bit extra. If you already know your particular measurement, you do get three units of suggestions in a pack (of the identical measurement). Comply additionally sells a pack with small, medium and huge suggestions though it is presently solely accessible on the Comply web site, not Amazon). That could be an excellent choice in your new AirPods Professional ear suggestions in case you have a few folks in your loved ones who personal the AirPods Professional and have completely different measurement ears.

The Caseology Nano Pop case is available in a few colour choices and is likely one of the early instances particularly designed for the AirPods Professional 2. Whereas it does not embody a lanyard, it does include a carabiner and has a cutout for the charging LED and dimple over the pairing button. 

I am undecided how one can even pronounce the title of the corporate that produces this cheap AirPods Professional 2 case, and it does the job. This case is particularly designed for the AirPods Professional 2, and several other equally styled finances instances can be found on Amazon (they’re all of your fundamental slim silicone rubber case). It comes with a lanyard and a gasket covers the Lightning port.

I have been utilizing a pair of additional massive Eartune foam suggestions with my AirPods Professional 2 and have been proud of the standard and match. The additional-large suggestions are available in solely grey and black, whereas the small, medium and huge suggestions can be found in quite a lot of colours. In case you’re simply searching for one measurement, you may get a pack with three massive suggestions, for instance. Or you should purchase a pack with small, medium and huge suggestions in case you have buddies or household who use different-sized suggestions.

Earlier than I put an earbud in, I scrunch the tip up after which let it broaden in my ear canal. Whereas I can use Apple’s massive suggestions, I get a safer match with the following pointers. (After I run with the AirPods Professional 2 I take advantage of foam suggestions to ensure they keep in my ears.)

In case you deal with them properly, the following pointers ought to final a couple of months at minimal. They seem to be a moderately good worth at three to a pack.

After I first took this Woolnut case out of its packaging, I wasn’t positive if it was actual leather-based as a result of the within of the case was rubberized. Upon nearer inspection, it is certainly actual leather-based and has a pleasant, virtually pebbled look to it (the textured end gives a bit of additional grip). Woolnut relies in Sweden and likewise makes an enticing leather-clad AirPods Max case, in addition to leather-clad sleeves for laptops.

Out there in 4 colours — that is the cognac mannequin within the picture — the case’s solely draw back is that it is considerably costly. It weighs barely lower than Nomad’s Trendy Leather-based case (see under). No lanyard is included. 

Spigen’s Rugged Armor case returns for the AirPods Professional 2. It is accessible in just one colour at launch however it’s protecting and features a carabiner though no lanyard.

The husband-and-wife workforce of Charlie and Jen at CharJenPro pulled off a profitable Kickstarter for AirPods foam earbuds in early 2020 and created a line of AirPods Professional foam ear suggestions. Their high mannequin is the AirFoams Professional Lively 2.0, which has a silicone layer over the froth that is designed to guard the information from sweat and ear wax and assist them last more (the corporate claims 5 instances longer).

I did discover that the big Comply tip is barely bigger than the big CharJenPro AirFoams Professional Type Match tip, and it is also in all probability price declaring that when you sometimes use a medium tip in your AirPods Professional, it’s possible you’ll wish to go along with a big foam tip right here).

The AirFoams Professional Lively contains three different-sized suggestions (small, medium and huge), so you’ll be able to select the tip measurement that matches you greatest and presumably go the opposite recommendations on to buddies). Since I do know I require a big tip, I might favor it if there was an choice that included a few units of enormous suggestions as an alternative — that might be the higher worth — however CharJen Professional does not supply that choice.

Nomad makes good leather-based instances for the iPhone and different Apple merchandise, together with the AirPods, AirPods Professional and AirPods Professional 2. Its Trendy Leather-based AirPods Professional case is likely one of the greatest I’ve examined and it now is available in a model for the AirPods Professional 2 (it stays accessible for the unique AirPods Professional as properly).

This is not MagSafe-enabled and it will not cost your iPhone at high pace (it expenses at solely 7.5 watts), however it’s a pleasant compact dock that may also cost your AirPods and Apple Watch (that stated, you need to provide the wi-fi charging puck for the Apple Watch).

The AirPods Professional 2 are MagSafe enabled, however as soon as you set a case on the case, it is not magnetic. That is the place a magnetic case just like the Spigen Magazine Armor is available in, restoring MagSafe compatibility so your case will persist with a MagSafe wi-fi charger (or any magnetic wi-fi charger). A carabiner is included however no lanyard.

In case you did not get your AirPods engraved with something, Casetify provides you the choice of customizing its instances together with your title. It makes a couple of completely different case fashions, however it touts its Extremely Affect case as its hardest thus far with 6.6-foot (2-meter) drop safety.

The case is available in 4 base colours, and you’ll have your title or no matter letters you need — as much as 10 characters — printed on the case in 17 colour choices with 4 font selections.

In case you’re a PopSockets fan, the PopSockets PopGrip AirPods Professional Holder + PopChain 2 is a surprisingly whole lot on Amazon. It has a stick-on attachment for the again of your telephone, that allows you to clip the case (and the AirPods Professional) to your telephone and use your AirPods Professional case as a kickstand for video watching, or you’ll be able to connect your AirPods Professional to the included PopChain 2, which clips onto your belt loop or the loop in your backpack. The case itself matches like a glove and appears properly protecting.

Word that the model I bought included the PopChain Premium. The mannequin linked right here contains the PopChain 2, which has a carabiner clip as an alternative of a keychain.

What do you do if you wish to use your AirPods with an in-flight leisure system or the TV constructed right into a machine on the gymnasium that requires a wired connection? Properly, one workaround is shopping for a Bluetooth transmitter which you could plug into any 3.5mm audio jack. There are a number of transmitters accessible from TaoTronics and different little-known manufacturers.

To pair your AirPods with a transmitter, you need to flip off the Bluetooth in your telephone (or simply put it into airplane mode), put your AirPods of their case, maintain down the Bluetooth button on the transmitter till it goes into pairing mode after which hit the pairing button on the AirPods case. (This video explains pair to your AirPods.) Battery life is rated at 16 hours, and the AirFly Professional makes use of Bluetooth 5.0.

Your AirPods Professional 2 will choose up mud, grime and maybe even a little bit of ear wax that may impression efficiency. You’ll find a number of cleansing pens on Amazon which can be fairly comparable and share a couple of components, together with a brush for cleansing the windscreens overlaying the AirPods Professional 2’s microphones, a gentle “flocking sponge” to scrub gunk out of the wi-fi charging case and a steel pen tip to dig out any mud wedged in seams. The Hagibis Cleansing Pen has a barely extra elevated design but additionally prices a few bucks greater than the most affordable cleansing pens.

Based mostly in Austin, Texas, Bluebonnet is known as after the state flower and crafts leather-clad equipment for numerous Apple merchandise, together with iPhones, MacBooks, Watches and AirPods. Its AirPods Professional and new AirPods Professional 2 instances are a bit slimmer than Nomad’s leather-based instances however supply ample safety and have a definite fashion with turquoise trim traces. Your AirPods charging case is designed to slip up a little bit as you open the Bluebonnet case so the underside portion does not match as snugly as some AirPods Professional instances. Nonetheless, I discovered it labored properly.

You’ve got a few selections if you wish to add some further grip to the AirPods Professional to advertise them staying in your ears extra securely. You will get very skinny silicone skins that cowl the bud portion of the AirPods Professional or a set of wings like these that not solely cowl the bud however add a sport fin (they do assist lock the AirPods Professional in your ears). The one concern with the fin strategy is that the AirPods Professional will not match of their case with an appendage on them so you need to take away them everytime you wish to cost the AirPods.

It is truly fairly simple to get them on and off however you simply must keep away from dropping them. Two units of ear hooks are included — one which’s translucent (proven right here) and one which’s white.

In case you go the silicone pores and skin route, with no fin, you must be capable of get your AirPods within the case with out having to take the skins off. Nevertheless, some folks complain that as a result of the rubber is so skinny, it tends to stretch simply and find yourself not becoming in addition to it ought to. That is not an issue with CharJenPro AirFoams Professional Ear Hooks (and different ear-hook equipment) as a result of the rubber is thicker and extra sturdy.

In case you’re searching for a mini USB-C wi-fi charging dock in your AirPods Professional (or normal AirPods), this Satechi accent matches the invoice properly. It’s totally compact — principally barely greater than the AirPods Professional’s case — and simply matches in a pocket. It really works with any USB-C port that outputs energy. The one concern is that you will have hassle plugging it in in case you have some form of case in your laptop as a result of it has to plug all the best way into the port to work.

The AirPods Professional can cost wirelessly, so you may want a wi-fi charging pad to make the most of that characteristic. A superb inexpensive choice for each your AirPods Professional and your telephone is the Anker Wi-fi Charging Pad 315. It gives 7.5-watt charging in your iPhone and 10-watt charging for Android fashions that help it.

There are a variety of cheap lanyards you’ll be able to choose up for the AirPods Professional 2. This Spigen one is a little bit thicker than some on Amazon. Options just like the HiFan Lanyard ($7) also needs to work simply high-quality for you however are designed a bit in a different way.

In case you’re searching for a extra inexpensive method to ensure your AirPods do not drop out of your ears, these clear-colored ear hooks can presently be had for $6. You do must take them off to cost your AirPods Professional, however when you’re a biker who’s apprehensive about dropping a bud, that is definitely an affordable choice to strive.

I personally do not like the thought of including a wire to true-wireless earbuds, however loads of folks have requested me about “anti-lost” cords for AirPods over time. A number of low cost variations can be found on Amazon, however the Cobcobb is likely one of the higher ones though it prices a couple of dollars extra at a little bit over $10. Some competing fashions are available in packs with a number of cords in numerous colours. This can be a single twine with built-in magnets that means that you can clasp your AirPods Professional collectively round your neck when not in use — identical to the Beats Flex earbuds.

I like Catalyst’s authentic waterproof case (see above), however if you need one thing that delivers most safety, its newer Whole Safety case definitely measures as much as its title. In case you occur to drop your AirPods within the ocean or a deep lake, the case is rated as waterproof all the way down to 330 toes (100 meters). It is also shock-proof. 

Catalyst’s authentic waterproof case has a rubberized end, whereas this has a tough plastic end. Each embody a carabiner and this mannequin actually clamps shut. Nonetheless, you’ll be able to entry your AirPods pretty shortly. The case is offered in military inexperienced or black.

Speck’s preliminary AirPods Professional instances, the Presidio Professional and Presidio Good-Clear, are respectable however not something particular. The newer Presidio ClickFlip is extra intriguing. It gives IPX5 water resistance, in addition to mud resistance and is mostly well-designed — though it’s kind of thicker than extra minimalist AirPods Professional instances.

The Lightning port is roofed by a gasket, however the port remains to be simple to entry and the wi-fi charging works high-quality, though the case is thicker. Additionally, the carabiner appears securely hooked up to the case (with some silicone instances, the carabiner can find yourself getting torn off when you snag the case on one thing). The case has a type of band that slides up and clicks into the lid, locking it down.
