I just got my AirPods 3rd Generation. I have a cable that fits in the MagSafe charging case, but I did not get a transformer/adapter to connect the other end of this cable to a power source. Am I missing it? I have two iPhones, one iPad, and my PC does not have the proper socket that I need for a proper connection. What do I do now??

iPad 2, iOS 9

No, most new electronics now come with USB-C connectors rather than USB-A thanks to progress and the EU. Don't waste your money on an adapter, buy a 20W PD USB-C power adapter, either from Apple or a 3rd party with good products. I really like the Anker Nano USB-C 20W, it is smaller than the Apple one and right now is on sale at Best Buy. They just released a newer one that is 40W and has 2 USB-C connections and is the same size as the Apple 20W.
