Previously, the ok ...

I bought 2 years ago ever 5 of these plugs because the are simply practical in your pocket. Eliminate cables and Ruck Zuck ready.
Batch 2 years ago was impeccably; Qualitatively rather not so good, but innovative. The connectors have passed and the cables are not broken or twisted / broken. Only the winding mechanism like broke if you pulled too quickly (but understandable. Is just a USB cable, not a sledgehammer)

The delivery a week ago, however, is not only significantly worse processed (Kunststoffgrate everywhere) but the connector go is very difficult in my S5. With the old that was as I said no problem. In addition, the cable to feel significantly cheaper and the entire male weighs 0.8g less (with a chemical analyzer scale measured), that here was saving on copper. A cable is broken shortly after the third use, the other still hold when we pass them with kid gloves.

For this loss of quality there 3 star deduction. Everything was better;)
