The Beats Studio Buds come with a USB-C charging cable, but you can also use any existing USB-C cables you own to power the Beats Studio Buds case. Simply place the earbuds inside the case and then use the USB-C cable to connect them to a USB-C power adapter.
If you don’t have a USB-C power adapter, you can purchase one from Apple here. Otherwise, you can plug the other end of the USB-C cord into any USB-C port on your computer or plug into any other device with the same port, as long as it has power. The case provides an additional two full charges to the earbuds, providing 60 minutes of playback from only five minutes of charging.
