Unless explicitly negotiated by both ends, every USB-C charger outputs the same boring 5 volts as classic USB, so the headphones should charge just fine.
- berbec 7y agoThe major exception to this is the Nintendo Switch that, due to shit design on Nintendo's part, can asplode itself.
- whamlastxmas 7y agoWhat's the problem with it?
- lmz 7y agoThey are wrong. The Switch console itself is USB-C standard compliant. The dock has a slightly smaller plug to make it easier to dock / undock the console. 3rd parties try to replicate the smaller plug but don't get the tolerances right causing a miswiring.
- hadrien01 7y agoI can’t charge my phone with the Nintendo Switch charger, it switches on and off repeatedly and doesn't charge. And my other USB-C chargers don't negotiate the power needed with the Switch so it charges very slowly if you don't use the included charger.
- lmz 7y agoI charge the Switch console just fine with a PD USB-C charger. PD is very negotiable and the Switch only supports a few voltages so your charger must support the same voltages.
- Dylan16807 7y agoAs far as I understand it (correct me if I'm wrong), every proper charger is supposed to support the exact same list of power combinations from 0 up to whatever its max wattage is. The switch dock demands 39 watts, which implies 15 volts, but the switch itself will negotiate any voltage when standalone.
- notreall1238123 7y agoMy phone charges fine with a Nintendo Switch power adapter. In fact, I am doing it right now. Output on the adapter reads: 5v@1.5A/15v@2.6A
- asciident 7y agoOnly when used with another fault charger, which basically are extinct now.
- Dylan16807 7y agoThe Switch dock had some implementation issues but they didn't break anything. The only time things break is when you attach a broken charger that outputs 9 volts onto a wire that's supposed to be doing 2 volt signals.
- izacus 7y agoSwitch charges just fine from a MacBook power adapter. The issues are hugely overblown.
