Apple's new Thunderbolt 4 USB-C cable costs a staggering $130, more than ten times the price of a generic USB-C cable. But what's the difference between Thun...

The comparison is between Apple’s $130 USB-C vs Amazon Basics $12 USB-C vs generic $3 USB-C.

I have my doubts that audiophile branded USB cables are anywhere near as sophisticated as Apple’s high dollar cable.

Would you be willing to pay nearly 50 times more for Apple’s cable transport your 24/192 audio signal?

    It’s a 21 minute video, and I tried skipping around to see if they get to the point. I.e. does $130 cable sound better than a cheap cable. They certainly say that they look diff and one has more electronics in it, but they never seem to say whether there’s any benefit in sound and audio.

    Shitty comparison 3 cables with the USB type C connector. The apple cable is a Thunbolt 4 cable which is rated for a lot higher data transmission than the other 2 regular USB 3 cables. Just as a side note thunderbolt has transmission rate of 40GB/s a second while USB 3.0 has only 5GB/s. Imagine comparing a cable for its shielding and insides if their spec the use don‘t line up.
