Review on 🔌 Cable Matters USB C to Mini USB Cable - 3.3 Feet, Black: Improved Connectivity for your Devices by Aravind Joshi

Great battery >> Looking at the negative reviews over the last year, the number one complaint was about the battery. I tested it continuously for 3 days and it took 4-5 hours to fully charge and then ran for 14 hours before the last of the 3 bars in the status bar started blinking. Some complaints have mentioned battery degradation after a short time, so I'll update this review if problems arise soon. Good design, solid workmanship >>> The second most common complaint concerned the workmanship and the low price of the device. Not sure what others are expecting for $20, but it's a solid hard plastic device with buttons that feel well made and fit snugly around the earbuds and charging cable (both included). The characters on the small screen are easy to read. If I treat this $20 device as carefully as I would my expensive smartphone or my old IPOD, I have a feeling that everything will be fine. A number of complaints mentioned the included headphones and in particular their size. They have a "tough" style with no replaceable rubber tips and are a bit large so they won't fit everyone but sound just as good as most other $10-15 headphones. I found the device small enough to fit in a shirt pocket and very light. A number of customers were frustrated with the preset channel tuning and found the device too complex or did not fully scan the entire frequency range. There is a real problem here as the small instructions for use are not clear and in some cases incorrect and I have given feedback to the seller. I think scanning and saving presets is a very good thing IF you can get past risky instructions. It's not that the scan doesn't reach the upper frequency range, it's that the scan stops when all 29 available memory locations are filled. Your location and the number of stations that the scan finds determine how far the scan goes in the frequency range. The scan saves any channels it finds, which may have poor reception or unwanted content. After a few tries and some information from another review, I settled on an approach that allows me to save only the stations I need from anywhere in the frequency range. . Let the scan run until 29 slots are filled. Use the "Memory" button to scroll through the stored stations, use the "DEL" button to delete stations with poor reception or unwanted content (freeing up slots while compressing the remaining stored stations) . Finally, use the manual tuning button to increase the frequency range (starting with the highest stored preset from the previous scan) and when the desired station is found, press the MEMO button ONCE and then a SECOND time to tune to that station save. Continue to the end of the band or the end of the slots and you have a radio that only 'knows' stations that you like and have good reception that you can cycle through using the 'memory' buttons. Read the brochure for information on the different buttons I mentioned and how to use them. Warm welcome! >>> Based on the radio-locator.com search engine I was very happy with the reception on both FM and AM. Radio-locator.com takes into account each radio's transmit power, antenna height, antenna frequency and radiation pattern, as well as surrounding topography and geology to give you an estimate of the reception you can expect. Initially (at my house) I thought AM was weak as it didn't pick up some of my local stations that were rated as 'strong' transmission. It caught everything outside of my house and overall AM reception was a bit cleaner. FM picked up all the stations rated as having 'strong' or 'very strong' transmission and of those 25+ stations all were very clear except for two more distant with a little hum.
