product seemed fine, but after only a dozen or so uses, the cable developed a break that prevented continued use. do not recommend.

Just got it and plugged it in to use right away. No problem!! Immediately found my GPS and proceeded to download new maps without any issues. Great right off the bat.

After my wife and I switched to new MacBooks with USB C ports, we discovered that we had more USB peripherals than we thought. Apple's cables are extremely well made but exorbitantly priced, and this cable does everything we need for our Mini USB accessories. It even works fine with my Canon scanner, which draws a good bit of power. Durability seems good, and I have no doubt that this cable will outlast the scanner.

Would do business again. Thank you!

I have an old Blue Yeti mic from the early to mid aughts which I needed to connect to my 2019 MacBook Pro or its USB-C dock. This cable is the perfect fit and works as well as I could have hoped.While the sturdiness and durability of a cable aren't as important for something like mic because I am not moving it around much, the cable itself represents good value for the money.

Great Battery >> Scrolling through the negative reviews for the last year the most common complaints were related to the rechargeable battery. I tested it for 3 days running constantly and it took 4-5 hours to fully charge and ran for 14 hours before the last of the 3 bars in the status indicator started to flash. Some complaints cited battery degradation after a short period of time so I will update this review if there is any problem anytime soon.Well Designed, Solid Build >>> The next most common complaint was about the build and that the device was very cheap. I am not sure what others expect for $20, but this is a solid, hard plastic device with buttons that seem to be well fabricated and a snug fit for headphone and charging cable (both included). The characters on the small screen are easy to read. If I treat this $20 device with the same care as my expensive smartphone or my old IPOD I feel it will be fine. A number of complaints cited the included earphones and specifically the size. They are the 'solid' style without the interchangeable rubber tips and a bit large so they will not fit everyone, but they sound as good as most any other $10-$15 set of buds. I found the device to be small enough for a shirt pocket and very light.A number of customers seemed frustrated by setting up the preset channels and felt the device was too complicated or that it did not fully scan the entire range of frequencies. Here there is a legit problem as the small instruction booklet is not clear and in some cases incorrect and I have given the seller feedback. I think the scanning and storing of presets is very good ONCE you get past the dicey instructions. It is not that the scan will not reach the top of the frequency range, rather it will stop scanning when it has filled all of the available 29 memory slots. So where you live and the number of stations the scan will find dictates how far up the frequency range the scan will go. The scan will store whatever stations it finds which may include poor reception or unwanted content.After a few tries and a bit of info found in another review I settled on an approach that let me store just those stations I want from anywhere in the frequency range. Let the scan run until the 29 slots are filled. Using the 'memory' button go through the stored stations, use the 'DEL' button to delete any stations with poor reception or unwanted content (which will free up slots while compacting the remaining stored stations.) Finally, use the manual tuning button to step up through the frequency range (starting from the highest stored preset from the previous scan) and when a desired station is found press the MEMO button ONCE and then a SECOND time to store that station. Continue until end of frequency range or end of slots and you will have a radio which is only 'aware' of stations you like and that have good reception that you can step through using the 'Memory' buttons. Read the booklet for info on the different buttons I mentioned and how to use them.Great Reception! >>> Guided by the radio-locator.com search engine I was very satisfied with reception on both FM and AM. Radio-locator.com takes into account each radio station's transmitter power, antenna height, frequency, and antenna pattern, as well as the topography and geology of the surrounding area to provide an estimate of the reception you can expect.Initially (inside my home) I thought AM was weak as it did not pick up SOME of my local stations that were rated as 'Strong' transmission. Outside my home it picked up all of those and overall AM reception was a bit clearer. FM picked up all of the stations that were rated as 'Strong' or 'Very Strong' transmission and of those 25 stations all were very clear with the exception of 2 more distant ones with a bit of hum.
