How can the Beats USB cable charge so fast?

I bought Beats Wireless Studio 3 a week ago. This was a micro-USB cable which charges the headphones very fast.

However, I have used the cable today for my smartphone and this loads on the laptop also much faster than with another cable.

Does anyone know how that can be?

Better cable in the mentioned aspect

Re

I suppose the charging speed was measured on time until fully charged, not on the current actually flowing through. Would mean that the battery in your headphones is simply smaller than a cell phone battery, thus has less capacity and thus can charge faster. The speed also depends at least as strong on your adapter.

My question was: HOW can a cable charge faster than another cable? That's usually the power supply, right?

That's not the cable

The quick charger and headphones are identified by a data signature and the charger switches from 5 volts to 8 volts and charges faster.

Third-party devices are only charged with 5 volts.

Oh so ok.

Yes, you have to have a better abdapter

Thanks, that was a short but accurate answer.

Has nothing to do with the cable.

It is important how much power a charging cable has. (Ampers, who can pull a device).

Sorry, but I do not quite understand. Where do you see how much power a charging cable has?

Ca

Sorry, of course the PSU.

May I even get out of bed, right?

Me

Oh. Of course you can the xD

I also know a bit about technology, that's why it seemed really strange to me.
