The AirPods with the wireless charging have a different case that allow them to charge on a wireless charger pad. The non wireless AirPods have a regular a charging case that need to be plugged in with a lighting connector to charge.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The case is the difference, the wireless charging ones can like in the name be wirelessly charged also charge through lighting cable. The ones that are not have to use the lighting cable to charge it.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The main difference is that you have the ability to charge the case using a standard wireless charging pod/puck. There are a few smaller differences as well like the LED light that displays different colors to show you the charge status or connection to your Bluetooth device status being on the front whereas in the previous models the LED light was inside the lid of the case. I believe that the button to sync the airpods to your Bluetooth device was on the inside of the lid as well but I am not 100% sure on that.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The newest model (wireless charging) allows one to use (most) Qi chargers, meaning you don’t have to plug them in. Just set them on the Qi charging pad. Similar to how the iPhone 8 model and above has wireless charging capability.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The wireless charging case provides wireless charging when your airpods run out of juice..kinda like a battery pack. Pretty useful if on the go. I use them at work. I have one piece in and the other charging so when one side dies I'll use the other and I never run out of music in a 12 hour shift
