Hey all. I am sick of all my micro USB to USB cables breaking so I'm in the market for a couple of decent cables that won't break easily but also don't cost the earth.
Any recommendations?
Thank you

Thanks I'll look into it
Yeah that ones but full price is much more than that, if you can wait for special. At 3.5 it is a steal.
Yes those ampcore ones are great!!!
I bought a Blitzwolf and it doesn't work, phone doesn't come up on my computer.
If I use it to charge it has a warning message that it's charging slowly.
YMMV.Agree, get the ampcore ones. They are awesome
I don't know what your budget is but I've bought "Genuine Samsung USB Cables" from eBay and they've all lasted me over a year and they all support fast charging.

Probably around $5 each but willing to spend a bit more for guaranteed quality
I'm not expert but personally won't believe it is genuine samsung if $5. Most likely good quality fake ones. Good but still counterfeit.
But I buy blitzwolf braided cable for $6.
I think I'm going to go the blitzwolf braided. Do you have a link for the $6 ones?

The thing I hate about buying from Gearbest/Banggood/AliExpress etc is that it takes soooo damn long for the stuff to arrive…unless you wanna pay for faster shipping, in which case it will probably be the same price/cheaper getting it locally.
The Priority Direct mail is only a few dollars and it usually gets to me in a week. Bought 3 BlitzWolf cables last month and it cost $5.02 for Priority Direct.
Those braided cables on eBay are good
+1 to blitzwolf braided
Recently tested a range of USB cables from $1 to $10, with the idea being to upload the data.
Currently, the best bung for a buck cable I've found was:

With a power efficiency rating of 81%.
For reference Ugreen a recommended brand on this website performed noticeably worse.
Sadly, I'm still waiting for the blitzwolf.
How'd you test?
Methodology consisted of two separate tests.
The first test limited the factor to that of the cable.
The second test limited the factor to that of the charger.
A third test will be need to performed at same point for scientific validation.
Hope that is to your standards.
The first test limited the factor to that of the cable.

Yeah but how did you test them?
Had aukey ones and they all broke within a few months (metal pins on heads get pushed in so it no longer stays in phone). Got anker ones and they have lasted longer however one has already had its pins pushed in very far.
Ended up getting 2 blitzwolf ampcore cables. Thanks for all the great advice!
Congrats. Nylon braided is the best I have found none broken yet and I have been using one everyday for about a year now although I am careful now of its connection point.
Blitzwolf.
Just search ozb. Braided ones are the best but $5 maybe?
