Waveform: The MKBHD Podcast

The hosts discuss the new Beats USB-C cables, including their colors, specifications, and price. They compare them to alternatives and debate their value, especially considering the prevalence of USB-C cables and chargers. They also touch on the Apple polishing cloth and the absence of Adam from the podcast.

Beats has released USB-C cables in four colors: Bolt Black, Surge Stone, Nitro Navy, and Rapid Red.
The cables support 60-watt charging and USB 2.0 data transfer.
The price is $19 for one or $35 for two, which is considered expensive compared to alternatives like Anker cables.
The hosts debate whether the cables are worth the price, considering their specifications and the availability of cheaper options.
Apple's polishing cloth is mentioned as being the same price as one cable.
