I saw this post and wanted to ask the opposite. What are some items that really aren’t worth paying the expensive version for? Preferably more extreme or unexpected examples.

    USB -C would like to talk to you. So many bad terrible cables.

      “If they meet specs” is the important thing, and unfortunately that’s hard to know, though that $0.99 cable at the gas station isn’t going to cut it.

        that’s hard to know

        Hit the nail on the head there. I still need to find a decent retailer for cables I don’t need a tester to confirm are in spec.

      Those bad terrible cables don’t meet spec, I guarantee it.
