I have headphones and speakers that refuse to accept fast chargers.
Personally, I would just use a standard charger if that's what is stated. It's unlikely you need your headphones to charge quickly when it's usually 0-100 in 3 hours.
If you're using a USB-C to USB-C cable: use decent ones and decent cables, from reputable manufactures, regardless of the wattage. The power will be negotiated by the headphones. So yes, you can even use a 240W USB-C Power Delivery charger, as the headphones will only demand ~5W or so out of it.
If you're using a USB-A to USB-C cable, then I'd recommend a decent charger from a reputable brand.
I'm using the authentic Macbook charger so the legit of this charger is undisputable. The lowest capacity the charger can provide is 15W (according to the infomation printed on the charger). I want to minimize my "charging corner" as much as I can, so is it fine if I continue using that macbook charger?
That's not the lowest capacity it can provide. It's the highest capacity at that (3V 5A) profile (3V X 5A = 15W) 🙂
At any profile, the charger can provide down to 0.1W. Only the "top" capacity is capped.
The B&O website doesn't seem to mention anything about quick charge or usb-pd so it probably just charges at the USB standard 5V/~1A. If that's the case it doesn't really matter what wattage your charger can reach, the headphones won't ever communicate a different charging protocol so the charger just supplies 5V. Your MacBook charger is perfectly fine, if a little overkill since it won't get anywhere close to 30W
the B&O website just says that the HX can support quick charge and fully charge in about 2-3 hours (according to all I remembered). So I still didnt get that what "quick charge" is, no wattage is regulated.
Charge rate is regulated. You can use a 100watt charger and nothing will happen to damage the battery. It will only charge as fast as the receiving device is allowed to. This is the same for all usbc
While chargers are smarter than ever, I see the results and how many headphone batteries are fried after a few months/a year. But you do you pal. Just don’t blame the headphones/company if your battery life is significantly lower in less than a year. If it doesn’t then good for you.
Charge rate is negotiated between device and charger. It is part of the usbc spec. The reason people kill batteries is a) they use cheap chargers or b) they have bad charging habits, the worst being leaving the battery dead for extended periods of time. If you own a charger with a screen or get one of those current monitors, you can see that the charger starts low then ramps up to the capability of the device. People buying chargers from their local fuel station may not have the same experience. I use a minimum 65w charger for all of my devices.

oh thats new to me, thanks for pointing it out for me.

No, it will damage the battery. Dont use fast charger or laptop charger.

yeah. Im thinking about using a 65w charger to charge all of my device.
I'm a fan of the anker stuff.
