You have to buy a usb c to USB adapter or cable, you can get the adapter on Amazon for like $6.29 or a cable for like $10-16

You need to use any USB-C charger. whether it be a Apple USB-c iPhone 11series which came with a plug or if you purchased an iPhone 12 and brought a plug. If you have the iPad Air or iPad Pro latest generation you can use the charging plug that came with that.


Any other Charge that has a USB-C output like a switch will charge them.


Unfortunately the Apple documentation and box as so many have said hasn't made it clear you need to use a USB-C charger since the enclosed lead isn't a standard USB to USB-C adapter

That is a USB-C to USB-C cable -- see the following from Beats Flex – All-Day Wireless Earphones – Beats Black - Apple


What’s in the Box

Beats Flex wireless earphones

USB-C to USB-C charging cable

Eartips with four size options

Quick Start Guide

Warranty card


You can use any USB-C power adapter such as Buy 20W USB-C Power Adapter - Apple

or use a USB-C to USB cable to connect to older power adapters or devices

Update on my headphones since only the people in this thread will care if that lol: due to my apple-induced rage I ordered a usb-C to US-fkin-B cable the day I got my earbuds so I could use a block, but seeing as it hasn’t arrived yet I have since drained my headphones of all their battery, and I choose not to wear them as an ugly necklace.

It took about a week of sparing use for them to die so good battery life, but what kind of villain would fit the box with only a usb-C to usb-C cable. Was a prerequisite of these headphones that we own a Mac book pro? F’n A

It is ridiculous that Apple should supply a product which does not have the most common (universal) charging connector. The only way for most people to use this product is to buy an adapter or adapter cable. Fortunately suppliers like Amazon supply either USB to USB-C cables or small plug in adapters. What an elementary error for both Beats and Apple to make such an annoying and basic omission
