Today I found out about a German electronics brand named Hama, but I haven’t heard anyone ever mention/recommend it to replace American products… so is this brand just unknown or is something wrong with it?

    I don’t think I could ever recommend someone buying hama. Their products are really bad. I once had a USB-Cable that was so badly shielded it almost worked as an antenna.

      If you ever find the cable model and wanna be a superhero, you can send them to your Radiofrequency regulation body (e.g. Bundesnetzagentur in Germany) and they may start issuing fines.

      Companies tend to fall in line quickly as non-complaince to these laws is punishable individually by each state (both in the EU and US).
