Hi everyone!

I bought a pair of AirPods Pro 3, and it didn’t come with a charging adapter or cable.
I’d like to ask for your help on what I should use to charge it.

Should I go with a 20W original Apple power adapter + USB-C cable, or rather a 20W original Apple power adapter + a MagSafe charging pad?

What do you think would be the best solution?

Thank you very much!
 
Personally I use an Apple Watch charger (3rd party).

MagSafe is a good alternative too.

You can use a charger; really any wattage is fine. There's no need to "Fast-charge" for most people; overnight is fine.
 
I always prefer wired to "wireless" charging (let's face it - there is a wire) - it's faster, it's more efficient. I'm glad that I can use a watch charger or MagSafe, but for me that's just a fall-back.

Generally I use whatever charger and USB-C cable I have available for my AirPods Pro 3 - I have an Anker charging station with multiple USB-C ports in my family room, where I charge the AirPods the most, but I've also used even USB-A to USB-C chargers, and they've always charged fine.
