Hi everyone,

More and more (B&O) devices are being charged via USB cable. My Beoremote Halo as example through a stationary charging pad.

Has anyone found a more clean / neat solution for a USB adapter plug other than the standard ones?

I would love to buy an adapter where the cable comes in underneath instead of on the front.

Suggestions? Something like the 2nd picture

Perhaps a better option is to have a socket with the adapter built in so you just plug in the USB cable as below

I’m on Keith’s side with this. I bought one of these to my father about 7 years ago.

He hasn’t installed it…

If you replace the socket with one with built in USB ports, make sure you purchase a reliable model that meets your local electrical safety standards - these devices have had significant bad press, even those produced by well-known, established manufacturers.  A search will find lots of articles, such as:

Little older Nokia phones were equipped with nice round white chargers, allmost like in your lower picture, only nicer. Might find them on aftermarket.

Nokia AC-16E Looks like it is still aviable

Hi everyone,

Thanks for all the feedback!

MM i liked your suggestion, exactly what I need but not available in white.

At my local supermarket (ICA Maxi) i have now found a work around with 2 Belkin products.

Mbee, will look into your suggestion as well.

Enjoy your Sunday afternoon, evening!
