For clarity (it seems like people are a little confused), the case itself uses lightning. It comes with a USB-C to lightning cable. So you can use a usb-c charger, but not a straight usb-c cable.
I wish these fit my ears.

"Magsafe charging case"

What does that even mean? Is it USB-C or Lightning? The Costco description doesn't seem to specify it. Lightning is a no-go for me (and I assume many others) since it has been retired from pretty much all Apple products now.

Means, the case supports both wireless and lightning (but not usb-c). Here the link on apple.

Quote from sakaria :
Actually, the description on Apple's website says it works with USB-C:

What's in the Box
AirPods
MagSafe Charging Case
Lightning to USB-C Cable
Documentation

But further down in the description, it also says:

Charging Case
Works with MagSafe charger, Qi-certified chargers, or the Lightning connector

So I'm guessing it has a lightning port, but comes with a Lightning to USB-C Cable...

I have this gen. The block is usb c. The case requires lightning.

These (AirPods 3) are NOT USB-C.
Only the AirPods Pro 2 have the USB-C case.
There are new models that will have USB-C expected to be released later this year.

This new 3rd gen is usb c … I have the iPhone 15 pro, MacBook Air, and 3rd gen AirPods all use usb c. life is so much better with just one cable instead of lightening and usb c
Please do not spread false information, this Magsafe charging case supports wireless charging, but it still uses lightning, NOT usb-c.

I don't like silicone tips so I was really interested in these but sadly they don't fit my ears and had to return them. Went back to my 2nd gen Airpods lol
