I just picked up a Bowers & Wilkins PX wireless headphones with usb-c capabilities. That being said, can I charge this with my MBP charger? Hoping that the power brick can adjust to the power required to charge the headphones without damaging the circuitry.

I've charged my PX with my Macbook Pro charger just fine. Haven't done it for long period of times tho

The charger doesn’t push power to a device. It makes it available and the device draws from it. Yes, you can charge your headphones from the MBP charger.

Thanks for your quick reply. Were you also hesitant like me or this is something we should not worry about.

I went to BestBuy today hoping to pick up a B&O H9i but they didn't have it yet.

How do you like your PX and is it true that the sound quality diminish as the NC level is increased? And how does it compare to the other BT headphones that you have tried?

I like my B&O E8 but not sure if the $200 increase overt the Bowers and wilkins px is worth it for the H9i. I do think Sq is affected but it's not terrible. I usually just leave ANC off. As far as SQ overall it's better then the others ive used.
 
Thanks for the input. I will now have peace of mind lol.

Last question for you sir, does the clamping force lessen with use and do feel discomfort on top of your head after an hour or so? I really liked how the QC35 felt.

It's worse then the QC35 but it's not annoying for me at least. It did leesen for me but it could be because I got used to it
