Hobbyist Adds USB-C Charging to AirPods Max, Sells Mod Kits
• Apple modder Ken Pillonel added a USB-C port to the AirPods Max headphones, and you can buy a kit to do the same mod
• Pillonel designed a custom circuit board and found the right connector to make USB-C charging work on the AirPods Max
• The mod only enables USB-C charging, not wired USB-C audio, as that would require an expensive proprietary chip from Apple
• The mod allows charging AirPods Max via USB-C, reducing the need to carry a separate Lightning cable
• Pillonel provides directions, part lists, and kits to mod your own AirPods Max, but a future model will likely switch to USB-C natively
