Let me add this one to the list. There is also a bigger version of it.

This can't be used in planes ..... and for 12 hours or more overseas travel in economic class, we often need some powerbank. Unfortunately, I think with planes restrictions, it can't be more than 26800mha (something like less than 100W/h)

Does this Charge the M17 and activate the enhanced mode together ?
If so ... I will buy one too.

Does it work well with M17? I have just ordered mine, the same Baseus 65W 30000mah, only in black colour. Is it powerfull enough to activate Enhanced mode and to keep charging M17 at the same time?

 

[newworld666]

I don't know if the baseus have a specific power button to switch to the proper output voltage like other powerbank with a dedicated DC output..... or just to switch the display.
It's not really clear.
If so it should be fine for the M17.

I am currently also looking for an appropriate Powerbank to of make the M17s DC mode and all its tonal benefits, mobile.

In addition to the ones already mentioned in this thread (which are mainly not fully cover the M17 requirements, and seam not to work for all the Users, ie. Samsung Powerbank) , I found the following one: Hama PD-27W60

Specification:

USB-C output
5V 3A/
9V 3A/
12 V 3A/
14.5 V 3A/
20 V 3A (PD 60W max.)


@JamesFii: So the 12V 3A for the M17 would be there ... but would the M17 be supplied with the correct power, as on the same output of the Powerbank, also 20V could be provided (same as on the Baseus, mentioned above) ... Would this crash / damage the M17? Or is there some "handshake" between M17 and Powersupply (Powerbank) to "negotiate and agree" on the appropriate electrical power supply?

Not, M17 can't automatic adjust the output voltage from a Power bank, you need to set the output of the power band to 12V first, only type c with fast charge feature can communicate to each other, and them set the correct voltage. but the 2.5 DC connectors can only supports fixed voltage.

That's clear !!!!
Though I could find the Samsung EB-U3300XJEGEU with 2 usb-c port that manage to adjust the proper voltage (not my two other samsung powerbank).. it seems this model is limited to 12V max output on USB-C port => 9 V, 12 V / PPS : 3.3-5.9 V or 3.3-11.0 V
So as soon as there is a 19V possibility with the USB-C port, the voltage won't stop at 12V/15V...

 

[DarginMahkum]

this one could definitely even win a beauty award ...

Only traveling on planes might be tricky du to the high capacity ... as far is I remember max 27.000mAh are allowed, so they might take this beauty out of your luggage ...

Yes, that is more for car trips or home usage. For home usage, though, I prefer a 14.4V 18650 battery pack.

To anyone who wants to use a power band with M17 and active the DC enhanced mode.

1, We are highly suggest you find a power bank which supports fixed 12V/3A output. it will be better includes a display which show the output voltage.

I know there are some special cables or adapters , they can " active " a fixed voltage from a power bank which supports QC or PD fast charge , because both PD and QC fact charge already includes the 12V DC output. but it is not an official features from any company, and we can't make sure it is safe even someone is success .

2, Not to connect M17‘'s DC input to any DC power source which is exceed 12V even there are protective circuit.

Finally, there's an NKOTB !



Or, for the ones who are too young to know, or even blessed with better taste for music: The new Entry on Pleasure Island arrived today ...

If my wife will ever find out about the real prices behind, I probably will be single soon again and the children will claim a dramatic raise on pocket money ...

I see that you have the Acoustic Research AR-M2. Can you please compare the two. Thank you!

 

[Ben86]

Ok, then I will not risk using power bank without ability to switch stable 12V/3A output. There is no such ability to choose manual Voltage and Amp output from Baseus, even if it is powerfull enough...
I can't find any power bank that has fixed 36W ouput (12V 3A)...

... jup it's a pitty ... would have been soooo easy,..., if there would have been an usb-c port installed by IBASSO to handshake (or whatever) our powerbanks to have the M17 "mobile dc mode" to go ...

But I am neither an electrician/ nore an electronic guy ... electricity is coming out of the plug in the wall for me ... and there are probably some good reasons , why IBASSO decided to build the M17 as it was done.

Back to the Powerbank:

This was the only one I found, which should work and fit to the requirements (also to take it into planes ...):

Krisdonia 25000 mAh

it's something like the "Mini" Litionite Tanker, which was suggested by DarginMahkum in Post 2.666

 

[DarginMahkum]

IBASSO

Or you mean FiiO?

 

[alan_g]

I'm just happy listening to my M17.

 

[Klabauters]

Freudian slip ... should be FIIO, of course! Was thinking on the same "beloved" power port on my 2MAX, while writing ....
