This case fits the AirPods, both first- and second-generations. It can be charged either wirelessly with a Qi-certified wireless charger or through the Lightning port on the bottom of the case. It’s a quick and easy way to top off your headphones without having to find a cable.

These Ear hooks from AhaStyle feature a comfortable silicone design, and go beyond just adding a bit more design to keep the truly wireless AirPods in your ears.

But the AhaStyle Ear Hooks also offer a design that boasts “sound quality enhancement” by installing tips on the ends of the AirPods. The way the tips fit into place make it a noise-isolating design, aiming to keep a majority of the ambient noise around you at a minimum. It’s not exactly active noise cancellation, but for some it could be worth the additional accessory. AhaStyle also says it improves overall bass performance as well.

The ear tip is the same size, but you can choose either small or large fins. AhaStyle also offers two-packs for both small and large as well, if you already know which size you want or need. Each option costs $13.99, they’re available in either Black or Clear color options, and they’re available to buy now from Amazon.
