Amazon Basics Charging Braided High Speed Reviews Summary

Durability and Quality

Pros:

• "This cable is no exception. It is durable and very flexible."
• "Don't let the low cost of this cable fool you. This cable is high quality and feels very much like the high end cables."
• "These are some seriously well made cables."
• "Cords last even after thousands of bends. Love the braiding and the flexibility of the cord."
• "The braided cabling is very nice and helps it keep from tangling up."
• "It's a heavy cable. Hard to bend sharply."
• "I have this in my home 4 of them. The length is considerable and useful and it works."
• "I like braided cords more than the regular cheap rubber ones."

Cons:

• "Bought this for my parents, hoping a nylon braided cord would last longer... Barely a year passed and it's already malfunctioning."
• "I have bought this cord twice now... they seem to run down and have issues charging after some time, maybe 6 months to a year."
• "Worked great for three years but now the USB C end is finicky. If you bump it while connected, it'll lose connection."
• "It only lasted 7 months... Initially it was great but now it won't charge."
• "The "clasp" which keeps excess cord length in place is flimsy & prone to falling off."
• "Update: The charging speed has gone down to 500ma and it no longer works as a data cable."

Charging and Compatibility

• "It provides reliable connection and data for PCVR gaming on my oculus link and able to charge the quest at the same time."

Cons:

• "I bought this cable... It looks sturdy and it charged by Air Pods, but is not working at all for my iPad Pro."

• "I bought it for my oculus 2 but so far it refuses to connect to my pc."

• "There's something about the geometry of the USB-C end of the Amazon Basics cables that just makes it want to pop out of every device I have."

• "It didn’t scare you off, yes, it is 3 feet in length and is compatible with my usb-c computer, but so are literally any other charger."
