Primitive connectors like USB-A and Micro USB are not offtopic, but may elicit a smug sense of superiority.

Does anyone have experience with Volta Chargers? (or Magnetic chargers generally?) (lemmy.world)

I'm in the process of replacing my entire cable line up to be entirely USB-C & I am interested in perhaps getting something like volta spark cables. Has anyone tried these before?

I have a crappy no-name magnetic charger from Amazon for a couple of headsets. It's really convenient.

From doing some research on this, I've come across this reddit thread. Is this something that worries you? And/or have you had any issues like described in the thread?

I guess it worries me now that I've seen it. I think I'll keep using the connector though.

I only use the magnetic connectors for charging - I'm not sure if my headsets accept data in.

I haven't had any issues. But I don't have a strong emotional/financial attachment to the headsets, so I guess if one of them burned out I'd get over it pretty quickly.
