    USB-C question

    a few days ago i got a wireless headset. i runs over bluetooth. the battery had a charge on it when it arrived. it is now run down and needs charged. it has a USB=C connector for charging and included a small cord with a USB-C plug on one end and a USB-A on the other end. the USB-C plug on the cord fits the USB-C socket but it is loose. it just falls right back out. is this normal for USB-C?

    I've never had one simply fall off.
    They've all snapped in tightly.
    A quick search shows it's more common than I thought and might be the result of dirt or lint getting into the port.

    They're usually pretty tight. I can lift my phone with the USB-C cable (not recommended).

    More than microUSB. Less than USB-A.
    I've never had an issue with USBc connectors. There's a "click" felt when they seat correctly on all my devices. The click isn't heard, just felt in the connector.
