Mophie adds wireless charging to the AirPods Max with a clever new stand
"Mophie has announced a new wireless charger for Apple's AirPods Max called the Max Headphones Charging Stand. The AirPods Max don't support wireless charging, so Mophie's new stand relies on a small dongle that stays connected to the headphones' USB-C port at all times. When docked in the stand, the dongle magnetically aligns and connects to charging pins that deliver power to the battery while additional magnets in the cradle put the headphones into sleep mode."
"The Max Headphones Charging Stand is available now through Mophie's online store for $150, and includes a dongle compatible with the USB-C version of the AirPods Max that Apple introduced a year ago. The company currently has no plans to introduce a Lightning connector version of the dongle that would make the stand compatible with older versions of the AirPods Max."
"The stand features a weighted base made from anodized aluminum, while the cradle that supports the AirPods Max earcups is made from soft-touch silicone so it won't scratch the headphones' finish. Although it's a more convenient way to keep the AirPods Max charged when not in use (they only go into their battery-saving sleep mode when placed in their case) the stand is another accessory demanding precious desktop real estate."
Mophie's Max Headphones Charging Stand charges AirPods Max by using a small USB-C dongle that remains connected to the headphones. Docking magnetically aligns the dongle with charging pins to deliver power while cradle magnets trigger sleep mode. The stand costs $150 and is available through Mophie's online store. The included dongle supports the USB-C AirPods Max; there are no plans for a Lightning dongle for older models. The base is weighted anodized aluminum and the cradle uses soft-touch silicone to protect finish. A secondary Qi charging pad on the base can charge earbuds or a phone but lacks Qi2/Qi2.2 support.
