Can as device that runs of USB be powered from a charger?

I have a Dreamgear PS3 Elite Gaming Headset that needs to be plugged into a USB port to power it, it cannot be used as just a "normal" set of headphones though it has a standard 3.5" plug as well (don't ask me why, it just can't).

My question is "Can I power it by using a 5v 1A Apple iPhone charger instead of a USB port." The main reason is to do school work on an iPad, which I am pretty sure will not power it. T.I.A

I couldn't find any technical specs (i.e. voltage/amp's) on how much that headset uses, but if it is USB compliant (which if it's drawing power from the USB port, it is), then the answer is YES. Any device that can draw from a 5V/1A powered USB line can use the Apple iPhone charger (or any 5V/1A USB charger for that matter).

Of course don't take my word for it as I don't have the technical specs and there might be some other filters in the headset I'm unaware of that, if plugged in to an invalid power source, could blow (though chances or more likely that it will work, just issuing a disclaimer if the headset no longer functions after plugging it in).
