Best AirPods Pro accessories for 2021: Cases, eartips, wireless in-flight transmitters and chargers – CNET [CNET]

When do you need an accessory for an accessory? When it’s one of the most popular wireless headphones around. Apple’s AirPods Pro earbuds have created their own accessory ecosystem, complete with supplementary Apple AirPods case options and other add-ons that help overcome minor shortcomings that, for some people, may be major. 

When it comes to Apple AirPods and their accessories, there’s no shortage of variety. If you want a genuine leather case versus silicone material, a charging case or a wireless charging case, all of those are available. If you want a fun carrying case, a waterproof case, something with an included carabiner keychain or something that hangs from your keychain, those exist as well. Most don’t interfere with wireless charging, but many include a spot for your charging port regardless. If you’re looking to personalize things further, you can even get an AirPods case cover or an AirPods skin. The options are seemingly endless and they prevent the AirPods and their case from scuffs.

But you need to start somewhere. From the best AirPods Pro case to the best wireless charger and more, here’s a look at some of CNET’s top picks of accessories for AirPods, based on my own hands-on experience with each product. Most of them fall into the protective case and earbud enhancement buckets, with a few other interesting things I’ve found. I’ll update this as I test more of the best AirPods Pro accessories.
