While the AirPods Pro 2 included a USB-C charging cable in the box, the AirPods Pro 3<\/a> unveiled on Tuesday come without one, according to Apple’s website.<\/p>\n

\"airpods
Apple’s tech specs page for the AirPods Pro 3<\/a> confirms the USB-C charging cable is sold separately. In the U.S., Apple’s cheapest USB-C cable costs $19<\/a>, but you can of course use pretty much any USB-C charging cable from any brand.<\/p>\n

The case for the AirPods Pro 3 can be wirelessly charged with MagSafe, Qi, and Apple Watch chargers, so a charging cable is not strictly required.<\/p>\n

AirPods Pro 3 also ship without a charger, but that has been the case since the original AirPods Pro launched in 2019, so that is no surprise.<\/p>\n

In the U.S., AirPods Pro 3 are priced at $249, just like the AirPods Pro 2 were. However, while there was no price increase, Apple is now poised to earn some extra revenue from additional sales of USB-C charging cables.<\/p>\n

AirPods Pro 3 are available to pre-order now, and they launch on Friday, September 19. Read our coverage of Apple’s announcement<\/a> to learn about new features, including improved sound quality, increased active noise cancellation, longer battery life, better fit, in-ear heart rate monitoring during workouts, and much more.<\/p>\n
