Looked like a good deal for micro usb cables compared to previous deals. Especially with the 3 X 3.3 ft cables (1 metre) which is a nice length.

    You can buy 1m micro usb cables on ebay for $1 AUD delivered, in single units.

      different quality man… this is tronsmart.

        I've bought these Tronsmart in the past. They wear out and become loose just as quickly.

        • CyberMurning on 01/09/2017 - 14:52

          woops.. ok thank i pass then

          Just started using 1 tronsmart. Noticed that it's a lot faster than many of my other cables.

          Haven't used it for long enough to comment on how quickly they become loose though

          @Love a bargain:

          Yes charges fast but the clips on the micro usb end will either become loose ot wobbly. Avoid. Buy Anker, you get what you pay for for.

        • krazynayba on 01/09/2017 - 15:20

          Yep. They need way more reinforcement on the microUSB end. Mine started wobbling then snapped completely

          @CVonC:

          It kinda feels like there is no reliable micro usb cables around.

          They're either slow, bend/ become loose easily, fray, or all of the above.

          As an aside, this loose micro usb fix has helped me to extend the life of quite a few cables.

          @Love a bargain: Anker's micro USB cables are very good and reliable. Have about 10 of em, been using for a couple years and still hold up fine, not slow either. A bit expensive, but they're worth it.

        • Love a bargain on 01/09/2017 - 16:25

          @chihaeru:

          I think I've bought some Anker cables in the past & they also bend/ become loose quickly

        • drfuzzy on 01/09/2017 - 18:54

          My experience was they last longer than most. Bought 1 x 5 pack > 12 months ago.

      • halfnhalf71 on 01/09/2017 - 15:16

        Yep, i bought a 4 pack once based on the claims of good quality but mine broke just as quickly as the cheapies on ebay

  • Love a bargain on 01/09/2017 - 14:32

    Too bad the longest is only 1.8m

    Wanna get a 3m (the nearest power point is too far from my bed)

      you'd probably be rounding that figure off to the nearest billion…

    • Love a bargain on 01/09/2017 - 14:35

      Why not?

      I know there is the new type-c but a lot of not so ancient devices still use micro usb

    • [Deactivated] on 01/09/2017 - 14:47

      no, but our toys do

    • bargaino on 01/09/2017 - 14:50

      I'd say there are far more people still using mini-B than type-C, let alone micro.

      But don't we all have a drawer full of micro-B cables from all the gadgets we bought over the years?

      • geek001 on 01/09/2017 - 15:13

        There is a reason for that. None of my mini-B cables has ever worn out. I go through one microusb cable every 3 months or so. :)

        • bargaino on 01/09/2017 - 15:16

          The theory is that micro-usb is designed so the cables fail, not the socket, which is far more expensive to fix.
          But I've had a few micro-usb sockets fail in family's devices.

  • madman697 on 01/09/2017 - 15:05

    Newb question.. but these will do QC2 fast charging?

    • bargaino on 01/09/2017 - 15:19

      You don't need special cables for qc2. In fact, it is more tolerant of bad cables than regular charging is.

      • madman697 on 01/09/2017 - 15:26

        thanks for the responses. maybe i was wrong to specify qc2, not all micro usb cables handle fast charging. just wanted to make sure these will fast charge.

    • nobby148 on 01/09/2017 - 15:20

      Yeah these will do it fine. I have these as they work well haven't had any issues yet with the connectors and stuff.

  • drfuzzy on 01/09/2017 - 15:40

    I have purchased these previously and am using one now. They are higher quality than the cheap cables I have. They are both less likely to break and they charge my phone faster.
    I recommend them.

  • Timmmy76 on 01/09/2017 - 15:55

    Like others said good to start of with but over time become loose and wobbly and won't charge.

  • Cheapo Moose on 01/09/2017 - 15:57

    I've always bought the blitzwolf braided cables for their quality/price balance but they're starting to annoy me a bit because of their lack of flexibility.

    What's everybody's preferred cable manufacturer suitable for qc3.0 that doesn't break the bank?

  • seb on 01/09/2017 - 18:19

    I bought a pack of these once via OZb link. They were rubbish. Maybe the quality has improved.
