And, while you have to pay extra for it, wireless charging is available as an option. Do the math and the AirPods case simply holds more charges. Turning it on brings the Studio Buds case capacity down to 15 hours. Mind you, that this only accounts for when ANC isn’t being used. Regarding the charging cases, each of these holds the same total battery life: 24 hours. Given their neutral-platform performance and larger spec sheet, the Studio Buds offers more bang for the buck, though the AirPods is a solid pickup for iOS users that want reliable buds at a relatively affordable price. Apple also sells a wireless charging version for $199. The Beats Studio Buds are listed at $149, whereas the older AirPods has a higher MSRP at $159.
