Chargeasap Connect Pro with its swappable magnetic connectorsPrakhar KhannaThe Chargeasap Connect Pro is a charging and data cable for all your devices. It features swappable magnetic connectors, so you dont need to carry separate wires for Type-C and Lightning port devices. It also has a built-in power meter and can charge your MacBook, iPad, iPhone, Android phones, and accessories at up to 100W. Ive found it useful during my travels over the past few months.Most of my devices have a Type-C port, but Im still using the AirPods Pro 2 with a Lightning port. I love the sound quality and ANC of my Apple earbuds, but I had to move on from them because I didnt want to carry a separate wire just for the earbuds. However, Chargeasaps Connect Pro cable has allowed me to travel with my AirPods Pro 2 again. Its much better than the bundled Apple wire, too.The Chargeasap Connect Pro cable is 4.75 feet (57 inches) long, so you can stretch it from behind your desk and simply replace the magnetic tip whenever you need to charge gadgets with different ports. Its a well-built cable covered in braided nylon. I carried it in my backpack to CES 2025 and then to the Galaxy Unpacked events in January, and it didnt tangle or feel poorly made.Chargeasap Connect Pro Prakhar KhannaMORE FOR YOUThe Chargeasap Connect Pro comes with three magnetic swappable connectors: USB-C, Lightning, and micro-USB. One end has a fixed USB-C connector, while the other end can be swapped with these connectors. The magnets are strong for the most part, but you need to be careful when carrying the small swappable connectors, as theyre easy to lose.I love the convenience, but its also unreliable at times because Im clumsy. If you apply sideways pressure, the magnet disconnects, stopping the charge. While the wire might still be slightly connected to the corner of the port, the swappable connector remains inside your device with no charging.For the same reason, its not ideal for charging something inside your backpack while youre on the moveits likely to disconnect. While the charging cable tip has a green LED that glows to indicate power is flowing, allowing you to notice bad connections, it takes some getting used to.Chargeasap Connect Pro built-in power meterPrakhar KhannaThe Connect Pro cable also has a built-in power meter, which displays the current flow in watts. Its a nice-to-have feature for keeping track of the power being delivered to different devices.The 100W Chargeasap Connect Pro is priced at $60. Its one of the most convenient cables you can get if you own multiple gadgets with different ports and varying power requirements. However, youll need to be mindful of its usability and be careful not to lose the magnetic swappable connectors.
