Besides the iPhone, the AirPods Pro are probably my most used product in the world of Apple products. I use them for workouts, work calls, walking the dog, doing housework, and more. They work even better with more Apple products thanks to the magic of automatic switching and continuity. However, as simple as AirPods may seem, there are plenty of accessories that can greatly improve your user experience. Whether it's for protection, improved functionality, or just keeping things clean, these accessories can make a huge difference.
If you want a hands-on look at each of the products mentioned in this article, be sure to watch our video below!
Aulumu A09 Case
Depending on who you are, you might think that putting a case on your Airpods case might be overkill. I can understand this, but I have found that using a protective case for my AirPods Pro really helps improve my quality of life as an AirPods user. In addition to extra protection from scuffs and dings, I need a snap-on case to keep my AirPods covered at all times. My daughter loves opening my Airpods and losing every bud. Therefore, a clasp is a must! That's where the Aulumu case comes in!
Features:
- Excellent protection thanks to its durable housing and shock-absorbing properties.
- Zinc alloy clip Keeps your Airpods case secure.
- Comfortable and ergonomic design.
- Removable Velcro. Strap, easy to carry.
- Precise cutout of speaker and charging port.
- Visible LED indicator on the front panel.
- Easy press button.
- Wireless communication. Charging compatible (not magsafe compatible)
My only complaint with this case is that since it's a little thicker, the magnets aren't strong enough to use with MagSafe chargers. But it works with regular wireless charging! For under $35, I think you can't go wrong with this case. From the moment you feel it, you'll know the build quality is great and the clip feature is exactly what I was looking for.
KeyBudz Aircare 2.0
Since Airpods or any other headphones are in your ears for hours on end, they will eventually collect a bit of debris. For someone who desperately needed to clean their AirPods, this AirCare product was a game changer. It provides all the tools you'll ever need to clean every nook and cranny of your AirPods. It looks like a shorter Apple Pencil with replaceable tips that let you clean different parts of your AirPods and AirPods case. Below are photos of my Airpods before and after using the product (you have been warned).

Some information to consider:
- Safely cleaning AirPods & Apple devices
- Restores sound quality
- 7 reusable dedicated cleaning tools
- 70% post-consumer recycled materials
- Case included made of microfiber.
- Carrying case included.
I was extremely impressed with the packaging and quality of the product; it felt like a product made by Apple. This is the perfect gift for any Apple user or a great tool to keep in your desk drawer. It's currently available on Amazon for under $30.
KeyBudz Hyper Foam
These replacement foam tips are made by the same company that made AirKea 2.0. They are exactly what they sound like. These are replacement ear tips made from foam. So, in theory, they provide a better natural seal than the standard silicone tips that Apple provides.
- Thermal Adaptive Formula
- Patented ComfortCore Technology
- Enhanced noise absorption
- 3 sizes (S, M, L)
- Made from German TPE KRAIBURG
Personally, I use the medium sized Apple silicone tips and the medium KeyBudz fits perfectly. This really makes for a more comfortable listening experience, especially for long periods of listening. It also allows you to use the natural seal to create better sound insulation, which has proven to be excellent. Finally, the black color gives my AirPods a stormtrooper aesthetic, which I think is cool.
X61 Apple Watch Charger
You might be wondering why I recommend the Apple Watch charger for AirPods. Well, if you have a MagSafe compatible AirPods case, then any Apple Watch charger will also charge your AirPods at full speed! It's just a unique charging puck with an Apple Watch charger that you can stand and lay flat. It is made of aluminum and has a good weight.
- 5W fast charging
- Horizontal and vertical orientation
- Aluminum alloy
- Aluminum
- USB-C cable included.

Rolling Square in Charge
For those who want a creative wired charging solution for AirPods, the inCharge 4 in 1 charging cable is a great solution. It's a short, keychain-style cable that can be used anywhere. I always have this on my keys. Thanks to its modular design, it allows charging using four different connectors.
- USB A to USB C
- USB A to Lightning
- USB C to USB C
- USB C to Lightning
It not only supports 100W fast charging, which allows you to charge your MacBook Pro, but also supports data pass-through. So of course you can use it to charge your AirPods, but this could be a solution for many use cases!
