scottluOne is to charge, one is to listen. You can do both at the same time, but you'd have to plug in both cords. It can't charge from the data port.

trapnineIf my USB charger is supplying power to the XP-2 via its MicroUSB "CHARGE" port, and my Google Pixel 2 phone is plugged into the XP-2's "USB" port via a USB-C to MicroUSB cable (e.g. https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=14957), will the XP-2 supply power via USB-C Power Delivery to charge my phone?
If I am using the XP-2 with headphones that include a microphone (e.g. my Koss Porta Pro), will the XP-2 convey the input signal so I can talk on the phone?

BobSutIf you plug a powered MicroUSB into the XP-2 power port it will charge. Just about anything will charge it.
The XP-2 will never charge anything, and you can only charge it via the charge port, not the data port.
The data port should work for sound if you make sure the cable you use supports USB on-the-go mode. I'm not sure if that monoprice cable will work, I don't see "OTG" in the listing. Not sure if all USB-C cables support it. I personally bought this one and it worked perfectly with my Google Nexus 5X phone and a Mac with several USB dac/amps, so I'm pretty sure it'll work with the XP-2: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0744BKDRD/
AFAIK, microphone signals will NOT go back into a phone. I don't think the XP-2 has an extra ring in its TRS connector for that (making it a TRRS). It's strictly for listening (phone support would be very cool though, especially via BT). Not 100% on this.
