Amazon Basics Charger 480Mbps Certified Reviews Summary

Quality and Durability

Pros:

• "They are always reasonably priced, and they seem to have consistent quality."
• "Worked great until the day it didn't. There is no obvious wear and tear."
• "Very well made nice and thick it's not flimsy at all and seems like it will last a long time."
• "My only hesitancy is going 9 foot instead of 6 foot next time but with a nice smooth process with Amazon."
• "I've always had good luck with Amazon Basics cables in the past."
• "I've bought a number of USB C cables that fall out of my phones port instantly. This is one of the very few that rarely does."
• "Amazon Basics for the win again! I've never been let down by one of their cables."
• "AmazonBasics has become my go-to brand for a lot of household items."

Cons:

• "It's a cheap cable for a reason. Either QC is weak in manufacturing or it's made of garbage materials."
• "Worked great, until it didn't work anymore. The electrical wires must be poor quality as it is now glitchy and no longer charging my phone."
• "Listen to the other reviews! This is randomly stop working after about two months, and with no warning."
• "This is a bad cord. Continually stops charging while it is sitting on a flat service with no one touching it."
• "The cable itself feels very well built and fits very well into charging ports. It is of decent thickness and feels like a high quality cable."
• "after reading the description of the product I realized that it support up to 420 Megabit, so this is kinda my fault."
• "The cable itself is fairly thin and flexible, but it is rigid enough that it will hold a shape if you want it to."
• "As others have said on the low-star reviews, it might have USB-C connectors, which means it will be OK for (slow) charging or powering a device, but NOT for high-speed transfer of large files."

Compatibility and Functionality

Pros:

• "This Amazon Basics USB-C cable to transfer data from an audio interface to a Mac computer."
• "My Apple TV remote did NOT come with a charging cable, and after 3 months the battery level was getting low, so this Amazon Basics USB-C to USB-C is what I was looking for."
• "I got this to charge all the usb c stuff we own. So far it works great for my new iPhone, gaming headsets, and my AirPods and headphones."
• "These are great cables, I use them for charging my phone and other USB-C devices."
• "I'm using this cable with an external SSD that normally runs at around 300-400 MB/sec, according to Crystal Disk Mark."
• "This 6' cable does not deliver enough power to charge a 16" MacBook Pro."
• "This cable was the cause of me messing up two parties i was djing at! It would drop audio on my dj console using rekordbox!"
• "I bought this to replace the USB-C cable to connect the Mac to a second monitor. This cable provided power to the monitor but not data."

Cons:

• "For some reason this cord only works with one specific end in the charger box, the other end with the USB symbol facing up."
• "I thought it was 2 C phone cords but it was one with 2 phone entry things and none to fit into an electric wall charger."
• "It didn't work, so I had to use another brand of cable (Anker) instead."
• "I don't have a USB-C charger cube so that really sucks. I have to plug it into my laptop and I think $10 is overpriced."
• "This cord is very slow. Said it would take 26 min to transfer 75GB."
• "I bought these hoping I could connect external monitor to docking station connected to laptop via USB-C connect."
• "I intended to use this for a data connection between my MacBook Pro to an external SSD however the performance is rubbish."
• "This cable seems to carry power and USB 2 data, but it does not carry the full USB C range of signals."
