They’re also$18.99.
A comparative bargain, in that case.
A whole twenty inches of cable for the same price as the normal Apple one.
And they’re braided!
And there’s a Beats logo.
I’ve actually got some on me right now and yes, they arelovelycables.
They’re almost rope-like in their texture and the way that they hang.
The USB-C connectors click perfectly into their intended slots, and the braiding feels very premium.
Like I said, they’re lovely cables.
But should youbuy them?
The answer for me, personally, is no.
These are 6-foot-long USB-C to USB-C charging cables.
They come in one color black.
They’ll charge up to 60W, and they do data transfer at USB 2.0 speeds.
They’re also a whole load cheaper than Beats' new offering.
No pretty colors though, unfortunately.
But you do get two of them in the same box.
But that’s probably not the point, is it?
You want Beats cables because they come in Red, Navy, or Sand.
You want that nice braiding, and the snazzy color options.
You’re looking for something to match your devices.
At that point the price likely stops being quite as much as a consideration.
If you think about it, it’s a lot like cheese.
You could get the mass produced cheddar.
However sometimes it’s OK to want thenicecheese.
Even if it costs $4 more per block, and lasts for less time.
Do you need the expensive thing?
Everyone’s guilty of it
And there’s the point with the Beatscables.
But I get it.
They’re nice, and they come in pretty colors.
And given some of my purchasing decisions, who am I to judge?
Spending $20 cables is egregious, yes.
But so is expensive cheese and Iloveexpensive cheese.
