ESR USB-C to Lightning Cable, 0.5 ft (0.2 m), MFi-Certified, PD Fast Charging Cable for iPhone 14/14 Plus/14 Pro/14 Pro Max, iPhone 13/12 Series, iPhone SE 2022/11/XR, Braided Nylon, Black

Why did you choose this product over others?: Works after a few weeks. Great.

I purchased this to connect my gaming headset to my Samsung S20+ phone in order to utilize the noise cancelling microphone for calls / Skype etc. The Samsung utilizes a USB C connection for headphones / peripherals, my headset (Razer Kraken X) is a 3.5mm audio jack connection, so I needed this to connect it. The 3.5mm audio jack connects in to this extension cable with a satisfying click and maintains a solid connection, so no chance of it coming loose or accidentally popping out. The USB C side connects to my phone just as I would expect any other USB C to connect, again clicks in and stays there. The sound playback is perfectly fine and the microphone also works perfectly fine when I use this device to connect my headset to my phone. The cable is braided and feels very robust / firm. I have been using this a fair bit placing it in and removing it from my pockets, sitting it on surfaces and sofas etc. It seems to have withstood all manner of twisting and pinching of the cable with no visible signs of wear and no reduction in playback from my connected headset. Pros: - Good price point - Good feel / the build quality seems good - Does what I needed it to do - Has a good enough length (approx. 4 inches) for connecting - Black colour matches the screen of my phone and the cable from my connected device - Slim Cons: - I was asked to give a star rating on "volume control", however there are no inline volume controls with this cable. It does allow me to use my inline volume and mute control when my headset is connected via the headset controls, but I would expect that from this sort of device anyway. Not really a bad thing, but I couldn't give it a 5 star for volume control as I don't see it as being a valid category for the cable. I hope this review has been useful for you. Happy listening!

Update this is my seventh purchase. All excellent. All the below still applies. This is my second purchase of an Usb c to lightning cable. I have different lengths. I read this specific model is very durable, efficient , if rather stiff. I agree on all of that. If its in the car, you might find it too stiff , since it might drag on your phone. Otherwise it is as people state. Plus you get a lifetime warranty after registering. The registration process is by email. Just have your Amazon order number to hand and the date of purchase. Esr get back to you very quickly. Overall a very good product. Just bear in mind it could pull on your phone in certain situations. Update I have bought seven of these cables now of varying lengths. All trouble free, less stiff now, sturdy, same day customer response. An excellent purchase.

So with phones moving to the "no headphone jack" option if not wanting to use wireless earphones then unless using USB-C earphones then you need an adapter to connect to a 3.5mm pair of earphones. Now they work well, no real issue with poor sound quality and they seem sturdy and hard wearing. I generally wear wireless earphones in the daytime but I use earphones at night when in bed to listen to music to fall asleep or meditate to. I've owned this adapter for about 3 months now and they've worked well to begin with, after replacing a cheaper poor quality adapter before it. 3 months later and if I suddenly move in bed or nudge the adapter ever so slightly then it instantly disconnects and stops. The wire has obviously come loose due to prolonged use which makes them unfit for use. I can't comment on how well they would work if I used them, for example just an hour a day. But based on my own personal use they worked well but soon died. However then again I've probably used them a considerable amount more than the regular consumer. If you need an adapter then I'd highly recommend it, however if like me you need one for 40+ hours usage a week then I'd look elsewhere, or just accept the fact that adapters for earphones will never be perfect as cough up the £12/15 every few months!

Fast charge

I am very happy with this usb c charging cable so far. I got this to use with my iphone xs max. I regularly use it at home and also take it into my car and use it on the go. Very impressed. As it is a 3.0 amp charging cable the charge rate is incredible. I now have confidence if my battery is low that i can plug this cable in and within 10-15 minutes I will have a very decent amount of charge. It is very durable as I use it on the go, chuck it in my bag and there have been no issues with breakages. The braided cable is to thank for this. I have just bought a second cable, this time a 2m one as I was so impressed with this cable.

Brilliant cable highly recommend

Original 2 star review: Good while they lasted, but some cables have stopped working, with no visible damage. I’ve tried rotating both ends, same result. Apple cable works fine with the chargers tried. Update to 3 stars: ESR contacted me and offered me a refund for one of the two defective cables, which was nice. Update to 5 stars: ESR must have noticed my updated review and immediately issued a further refund. I’m impressed by the integrity of ESR and would probably use them again. I wasn’t even asked directly to modify this review.

Uso questo adattatore da mesi e non mi ha mai dato un problema. È costruito davvero bene, con materiali di qualità. Il rivestimento in nylon intrecciato è spesso e flessibile, mentre le estremità in alluminio danno un senso di resistenza e qualità superiore rispetto ai classici adattatori economici in plastica. Dal punto di vista tecnico il chip interno fa la differenza. Non ci sono fruscii, distorsioni né perdita di volume e la conversione digitale-analogica è stabile anche a volumi alti. L’ho testato sia con cuffie cablate che con mixer portatili per registrazioni vocali e il segnale resta pulito e lineare. Si vede che il DAC integrato è di buona qualità, probabilmente con un filtro attivo che riduce il rumore di fondo. È compatibile al 100% con i miei dispositivi Apple e Xiaomi, si collega all’istante senza bisogno di impostazioni. Anche dopo mesi di utilizzo continuo, spesso arrotolato in tasca o piegato nello zaino, non mostra segni di cedimento né gioco nella connessione.

Tevreden met mijn aankoop. Goede kwaliteit kabel.

それなりのチップが載って、額面上の性能は優秀なのでまず1つ購入。何の問題もなかったので予備も含めて2つと、充電しながら使えるタイプ1つを追加購入。 もう一年以上使っていますが、全部故障無し。耐久性に問題はなさそう。 音は少なくとも悪くはない。 あえて言うと音量をもっと必要とする(出力レベルが足りない)という人はいるかもしれない。ヘッドフォン・イヤホンの能率次第。 ただ、何の不満もない製品でした。立派！

cavo perfetto, l’ho comprato per utilizzarlo in macchina, molto resistente ricarica perfettamente il telefono in modo veloce.

Los cables vienen bien empacados, funcionan perfectamente. Se ve que es material de buena calidad.
