what are you supposed to plug the cord that comes with the AirPods pro into? It doesn't have a USB plug end. What is it?

csecondi, this is a USB connection, its called USB-C and is way more powerful than the old USB-A (which you call just “USB”). This USB-C connection is on all new MacBooks and can charge from there. You can however use your old cable if you want to.

Hi csecondi!

The Lightning to USB-C cable which comes with the AirPods Pro, can be used to charge it straight from your MacBook, which all use USB-C. Some rumours say that Apple is going to change their entire cablefleet to USB-C. You can still charge it with your normal lightning to USB cable and via wireless charging.

Hope this answers your question!

Lightening cable - look inside your box or use what you already use to charge the phone.

Buy a charger with a USB-C port.

If the USB don't fit and you don't have adapter you can either use a batter charger or your standard 5W wall charger... any common wall plug which accepts usb would work --- if you have wireless, you can go the three times slower route and charge that way.

The standard 5W Apple Charger has a USB-A plug so they would have to get an adapter for their cable. It would make more sense to buy an adapter with a USB-C connection or a Qi certified wireless charger. The faster Qi charger would be faster than the old 5W charger.
