Tech Review – chargeasap Connect Pro Magnetic USB-C data cable

In a world of cables there is plenty to pick from and we have tested many our over the years some offer more than others and some less some look better than others and some don’t but is it looks that matter? In some cases that would be a yes but functionality is a key feature for me and good cable that will last unlike others do..

The latest cable now on offer from chargeasap is a pretty cool one offering more than one would expect from a cable, yeah I know reviewing cable and plugs are tedious to a degree because most people just plug it in connect device and that is the end of it there they do not stop and think what else is behind this cable.hmmm..

This cable is magnetic with a built in power reader and interchangeable tips which is handy and what this means in not fussing about plugging in a device although it has got better since USB-C has become more mainstream now however there is still plenty of tech out there with the older ports and will be around for some years to come yet.

chargeasap have thought of this and these also work with the best of charging plugs out there including GaN chargers which we are no stranger to.

There is several things to note with such a cable/product, you can easily swap out the device, so headphones earbuds, tablets laptops and more can be used and the safety feature here is great with the snap /on/off feature, now we all know we have all tripped over a cable at some stage and took the desk with us do not deny it. Now this is a thing of the past.

With a built in LED screen with built in amp reader you can also see that you are connected and with the support of up to 100W to charge an extensive array of devices, including USB-C laptops, phones, tablets, and more. Also take into account this keeps your ports covered and dust free which is another bonus and something for people think about.

Car/vehicle mounts for your phone are a plenty these days and we have covered many here before this one however is slightly different and offers you the full use of your phone when parked up o setting up navigation before you head off on a trip and so on. So what is different you have the benefit or both sa suction cup and a magnet and what this means your device is ultra secure and will not fall off even when you go over a bad bump and it works as we have tried and tested it for some time to make this claim.

Not only that this sits in on your vent and locks into place and there is a ledge on the back of the mount that hooks around your vent so again it will not fall off making it secure here too and again your mount will not fall off nor your smartphone which makes it an ideal piece of kit for anyone vehicle and for me is the most solid one yet to date I have tested and you should check it out..

It also comes with magnets you can place on your device or under the cover so it is not just for iPhones it is for any phone that is totally flat on the back and again a bonus rather than targeting the iPhone like most do these days.

First Look – HiFiMan Deva Pro Headphones and TWS 800 earbuds

It has been a while since we had tech in from HIFIMAN but the good guys there have sent us over two new products to check out and this is great as one is for the headphone fans and one for earbud fans and if you are a fan of both like me well then you are in the right place for either product. HIFIMAN just to recap is a world leader in quality audio products premier headphones and portable music players that utilize planar magnetic drivers and so on so matter what you choose here audiophiles will be happy.

The Deva Pro Headphones

These are open back planar magnetic headphones which look super premium and on a quick first test comfortable and light you can switch between a bluetooth with their module or use the wired 3.5mm TRS option and this is a first for me to see personally with a bluetooth module included in the pack which is extra cool..

Some quick specs.

  • Acoustically Invisible Stealth Magnet: Unlike the sound waves created by a conventional magnet, the special shape of Stealth Magnets enables the waves to pass through the magnets without generating interference. HIFIMAN’s advanced magnet design is acoustically transparent, dramatically reducing wave diffraction turbulence that degrades the integrity of the sound waves. The reduced distortion yields pure sonic output that is accurate and full-range.
  • HIFIMAN Heritage: HIFIMAN’s NEO “supernano” Diaphragm (NsD)- The new NsD is 80% thinner than previous designs, resulting in fast response and detailed image with lush, full range sonics.
  • Bluemini R2R, Small but Mighty- The DEVA-Pro companion Bluetooth/USB module: HIFIMAN Custom-created HIMALAYA R2R Architecture DAC: Non-over Sampling Concept; Low-energy Consumption; High Sampling Rates
  • Easily Switch Between Wireless and Wired: The socket can accommodate both dual-sided unbalanced 3.5mm cable and a single-sided 3.5mm balanced cable (left socket). Bluemini R2R is easy of use by connecting on the left socket. Input Option 1 – Bluetooth A variety of HD Bluetooth protocol (Bluemini connection on the left socket) Input Option 2 –Wired Inbox 3.5mm balanced cable (3.5mm TRRS on the left)

The TWS800 earbuds

Next up is their latest earbuds which are also pretty cool and stand out like the Deva Pro headphones, with a pillow type case and metal casing these are something different and offer everything you need out of the box for what we hope is an excellent audio experience. You get a built in amp which is also new to me having reviewed over 200 pairs of earbuds IPX4 dust resistance, BT 5.0 up to 31.5 hours use, topology diaphragm, audiophile tuning and much more and I cant wait to see how these perform over the coming weeks..

Any questions on either of the products above drop a comment below and feel free to ask what you like and we answer all comments, so stay tuned for a full hands on review soon here and on You Tube, we don’t give you stock image reviews with no context.
