Mophie Launches Innovative Charging Stand for AirPods Max

In a move to enhance the user experience for Apple's AirPods Max, Mophie has unveiled a new charging stand designed to address the common inconvenience of tangled cables. This innovative solution not only facilitates charging but also adds functionality for other AirPods models.

Currently, many Apple devices, including iPhones and Apple Watches, support wireless charging, yet the AirPods Max, Apple's premium over-ear headphones, have been limited to wired charging despite their recent upgrade to a USB-C port. Users have often struggled to connect the charging cable, especially when the headphones are stored in their protective case.

Mophie, a well-known accessory manufacturer and a subsidiary of Zagg, has introduced the AirPods Max Charging Stand, which simplifies the charging process while offering additional features. The stand is equipped with a unique design that includes silicone inserts tailored to fit the ear cups of the headphones securely.

Instead of relying on a traditional charging cable, the stand utilizes a magnetic USB-C dongle that connects to the headphones. This design ensures that the headphones are properly aligned with the charging pins when placed on the stand, eliminating the hassle of misalignment.

One of the notable features of the charging stand is its ability to put the AirPods Max into sleep mode immediately upon placement, thereby conserving battery life. This feature is also activated when the headphones are stored in their case, ensuring that users maximize their usage time.

Furthermore, the charging stand includes a Qi-enabled charging pad located at its base, allowing users to wirelessly charge regular AirPods with a compatible charging case. It remains to be seen whether other devices, such as smartphones or smartwatches, can also utilize this feature without compromising space.

While Mophie has not disclosed whether the charging stand will come with its own power adapter or will require USB-C power, it has been indicated that the package includes a cable. The retail price for this charging solution is set at EUR139.95, with a current promotional discount of EUR5. Shipping to Germany is offered at no additional cost.
