    If it was hardwired you would need to buy a whole new kit…

    And does anyone even know the tech specs to know if an existing cable is capable of providing the power the device needs?

      Nah, Apple will gladly take your money for a replacement.

      And I have no idea of the specs, but I’d seen some truly power hungry laptops that charge with USB-C.

        No… but you agree as well… what? A battery with an attached cable kit would cost vastly more than just a cable…

        The pack charges with. USB-c this cable goes from headset to battery pack and could provide more power or even data than what usb-c does. So atleast it’s replaceable instead of being hardwired and needing to buy a whole new kit to replace a damaged connecto/cable.

      USB C cables can provide more than enough if made properly. No way this device exceeds those specs.
