How to charge AirPods Pro earbuds

The charging cable that came with the AirPods is not a USB cable. Is it safe to use my iPhone USB cable? If not, where do I put the other end of the non-USB cable that came with the AirPods(looks about the size of a non-Apple charger) in order to charge?

iPhone 6s, iOS 13

Is there another way to charge my airpods pro? I don't have a wireless charger or a usb-c port. I recieved a usb-c with my new airpods pro but I don't have anything to connect it to to charge them. Is there another Apple-approved way of chraging them that won't hurt them or void the warranty? I don't have a wireless charger. Is it possible that it's correct to plug it into my old usb charger?

Charging Cable that comes with AirPods Pro. I don’t have a mac and I bought the AirPods pros that come with the Usb-c to lightning charging cable (not sure if that’s right). Is it basically useless or can I use the charging cable on other devices?

Yes it is.

The cable that came with your AirPods Pro fits a USB-C port. If you don’t have such a port, your iPhone cable is just fine.

Thanks very much. Do I need to charge them before first use? Is it OK to charge them overnight?

It’s good but not mandatory to charge them before first use. They come partially charged.

Overnight charging is fine. They cannot be overcharged.

Enjoy them!
