[QUOTE="RadDave, post: 1693076, member: 234411"] Hi [B]Gren[/B] - you should provide some more information, e.g. what brand/model BT headphones are you using, how does its charger plug in (my assumption is via a mini-USB jack or proprietary connection), and what are the charging needs, i.e. Wattage (will be Volts x Amps - my BT HP is 5 V x 0.5 Amps) - also, did you receive a charging cable/adapter w/ the headphones and is the other end a standard USB connector? The iPhone charger is typically 5V x 1A (i.e. 5W - iPads use the same voltage but twice the amperage) - if your headphones are rated to handle those amounts, then should not be an issue; also, despite the ratings, many of the devices can be charged using higher amperage (I have my wife charge her iPhone on a dual-2A AC adapter - charges much faster). As to your iMac's USB ports, you need to tell us the model/year of your computer along w/ the USB version - the power output from these ports varies and older ones do not work effectively charge iPads; again, I assume your headphones need less charging wattage.
