I'm using an old iPhone charger for my Mojo2, is it good enough?
Yes. Apple chargers IIRC are one of Chord’’s recommended chargers.

Everyone has their own particular philosophy when it comes to powering audio components. My opinion: if it works, it's good enough. That said, I use a linear power supply with my Mojo 2.I'm using an old iPhone charger for my Mojo2, is it good enough?
You can shortlist a few models with some basic work.Guys, what would be the best open back hp that Mojo2 can power to the maximum capability of the hp?
Thank you very much for your helpYou can shortlist a few models with some basic work.
First, for each headphone you’d consider, use the headphones.com power calculator to figure out how much power it takes to get the headphone in question to 115db (an onerous loudness that one would never sustain).
Then, divide mojo 2’s power at that headphones’ impedance by the amount of power you got from the calculator above.
Ideally you’d want a very high number here. Greater than 10. That is a good indicator of headphones that MIGHT work well with the Mojo 2.
That way, instead of asking for random headphone recommendations from users you can ask users about their specific experience with Mojo 2 and the specific headphone or headphones in question.
As an example:
The hifiman he 1000 se is 96 db per mw sensitive with a 35 ohm impedance. It takes 79mw (~1.7 volts at ~0.5 amps) to get it to 115db. The Mojo 2 provides 600mw of power into a 30 ohm impedance (4.6 volts at 0.13 amps). Thats headroom of 7.6x on a power basis. More than enough power on paper.
Of course I’d ask folks about their impressions either here or on the he 1000 thread since I haven’t tried this combination!!
Yep, looks like that for me also.It is peculiar how one day desktop mode will take just a few seconds to happen, other days around 20 or so minutes, wonder if other folk have experienced this.
Ever since moving things around, in fact right now having it not go directly into a wall outlet but instead from an extension lead, seems to prompt desktop mode consistently quicker for me.
EDIT: using a Samsung charger.
Thank you very much for your help
Did anyone tried to power the Mojo2 from the USB4 type-c ports which newer motherboards have? They are rated more then 3A. I seen there are cables available which do type-c to micro usb, maybe that would ensure a better charging and signal capability?
Isn't the usb c for data only? Charging is supported only by micro usb.The Mojo2 will take what it needs. I use a PD usb C charger that I have in my travel kit that works well also with my iPads and MacBook.
I’m unsure why you’d use a usb c to micro usb instead of the usb c on the Mojo2.
