Cannot cut the wire. The adaptor itself is already a transformer...adaptor is the best

Motorola Audio Monitor. But the plug is suspicious, some China company. It is an original device bought from the official store.

Luckily its universal voltage (100~240v), so can use here.
If its 100-120v cannot use here as our voltage is 220~240.

Just get socket converter, it will do.
Mr diy or electric harware can assist. Just bring along, they can help.

I'm sorry but some of us have never seen such a foreign plug. I don't shop overseas for the most part. The little I have shopped overseas, it never involved a plug. The closest was getting EVGA PSU and GPU a decade ago, but even those came with the correct plugs

If TS still don't get it, you buy US Amazon, so the plug is US pins.

Just bring this US plug to Mr DIY & ask the staff there to buy adapter for it.

My good sir I dont buy electronics from China. Phone casing got. And I've never been to Thailand. I've traveled a fair bit but never to a country that uses this pin

What's the benefit of post farming anyways? Everyone here harping on it, sounds so damn silly

I never bought anything from USA nor been there but I know that's a USA/Japan/Thailand plug. Because my internet not broken.

I know of existence of universal travel adapter because walked into electronic shops before and travelled. Also internet not broken.

Guys I went to 3 Mr DIY, they DO NOT sell this. Can you tell me which Mr Diy sells it or where else to buy the plug in-person? On Shopee and Lazada some are under RM1 and others RM30++, I have no idea which to buy. If you can suggest some safe options, that will be good too.

Thank you!

USA flat 2 pin plug one pin is wider than the other. Meant to plug only 1 way into the outlet.
If really want to use, the wider pin can be filed down to same size

Guys I went to 3 Mr DIY, they DO NOT sell this. Can you tell me which Mr Diy sells it or where else to buy the plug in-person? On Shopee and Lazada some are under RM1 and others RM30++, I have no idea which to buy. If you can suggest some safe options, that will be good too.

Thank you!

I never found it in Mr DIY. Went to 2 more this weekend, none whatsoever. So to all those saying Mr DIY sells it, shame on you for making shit up.

I eventually got it from a relative.
