Top 10 Best AirPod Accessories You Can't-Miss in 2024

Apple sold over 50 million AirPods in 2019 alone, and the figure is estimated to hit the 100 million mark by 2021, at least according to Statista. Well, it's not a coincidence because the AirPods compress all the exciting features of a powerful over-ear headphone into smaller earbuds. However, the pods don't come cheap. Even worse, the charging case that it comes with falls short of essential protective measures. So today, I've compiled some reliable AirPod accessories to give your earbuds a headstart. Just remember that most are not compatible with the updated AirPods Pro.

It also fits seamlessly with all AirPod earhooks, straps, eartips, and charging cases. Moreover, it offers zero electronic interference, allowing you to enjoy original quality music.

Specs:

It comes in an exterior premium Nappa finish that includes an impact-resistant polycarbonate frame with steel bearings. If you put these features together, you'll enjoy unrivaled protection for your expensive AirPods. On the flip side, the fidget spinner doesn't spin effortlessly because of the steel material. But that minor blip aside, it's a helpful spinning case.
