Review on Headphone Lightning Microphone Headphones Compatible by Jairo Cunha

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Top quality charger but the cables supplied are not of the quality of a typical Anker cable.

This charger is amazing as you would expect. It is great for charging tablets, phablets, phones, wireless mice and other devices that require USB charging. Really great product I've always gotten from Anker. My only complaint about this charger is the cables that come with it. I have ordered many USB cables from Anker and upon testing found that even their 6 foot cables can handle over 2 amps. This shows their quality through thicker wire. Other cables, while pretty good, can only carry 1A of current over 6 feet (like the Revain Basics brand). Not a deal killer, but devices will charge slower with these cables. So I was happy to receive additional Anker cables with this charger for a small fee. However, when I opened the box, the included cables were noticeably different. You can tell they are thinner by holding them next to my existing Anker cables (see attached images, cables with this charger above, Anker cables purchased separately below). 1ft and 3ft cords still supply 2A. Unfortunately, the included 6-foot cable is too thin and rated for a maximum current of 1.5A. Not bad but not what I expected from Anker and quite disappointing that it came in a charger that offers up to 2.4A. A. Overall, I like Anker products. Their customer service is also excellent. However, I feel like I was scammed with the cables that came with it. These aren't terrible cables, but they aren't what I expected from my Anker cables. I would say I would rate this overall combo 3.5 stars but as there is no 3.5 star option and I don't want to penalize the charger too much as it is amazing I'm sticking with four stars (5- star charger, 3-star cable). Edit: Under warranty I contacted Anker because one of the ports stopped charging. They sent me a brand new one no questions asked. Good service. I always buy anchors and have no plans to change!
