With the new second-generation AirPods Pro, users will be able to use their Apple Watch charger to charge the newly redesigned charging case.

There are now three ways to charge the new AirPods Pro case, including with a Lightning cable, MagSafe wireless charging, and now with an Apple Watch magnetic charging puck. The original AirPods Pro case cannot be charged with an Apple Watch charger.
