I think the biggest selling point for magnetic charging cables is you can leave the small plug in your device, reducing the number of times you connect and remove the charger from the port, reducing wear in your device.

I love it when you're researching a purchase, and one of your favorite youtube channels that you know you can trust has already done the research for you.

I had the first version of this cable. It only worked for a day and then somehow died. I hope they've improved it in this new version.

I ended up buying two of these, both with Lightning and Micro USB connectors. Magic! Such a great idea, and I wouldn't have known about this unless I was (somewhat obsessively) watching your videos. Thanks so much.

Thank you for introducing me to this type of product. I think that it will help with a problem that I have. With more than 60% hearing loss, I use headphones. A lot of headphones. After replacing them a few times per year, I happened upon Bluetooth headphones without the breakable cables. However, the BT sets are not without problems. Since I need to charge them daily there is noticeable wear on the micro USB connector. I believe that the magnetic coupling can help solve my problem. Testing will tell. Thanks again, Cherry Update: I received my three WSKEN Mini 2 kits. I inserted a plugs into two headphones and one into the phone. The three kits allow me to have a cable for my charging station at my desk, one for my car and one for work. I do love the way that the cable magically (magnetically) snaps onto the device. The only problem so far was that one of plugs was very loose in one of the headphones with a worn USB socket. I made a fix with a couple of tiny dots of hot melt glue to help keep the plug anchored in place. The glue is only on the surface surrounding the USB socket and is hidden by the flange on the plug. Thank you again for introducing this product to me.

I really love this idea. the reason I'll be buying it is to eliminate damaging the jack in my phone/tablet. I tend to use my devices with them plugged in and am always bending the cable end and have broken the jack in my tablet. Thanks so much for bringing this to my attention!

This is actually the best product ive seen on the internet any time recently that i want.

Yes, as I bought it from amazon before, and tested its magnetic, it showed that magnetic strong, but can not pull out use too hard. As this mini2 cable I tested it many times and easy to use, and I found a good price on other links: www.amazon.com/dp/B06XDP16F9. Any body if find it can be helpful for you, you can buy it test. I want to buy more adapters in the future.

Just want to thank you for putting region-specific links, very thoughtful. :)

After seeing this weeks ago, I immediately ordered 3 of the WSKEN Mini 2 (micro usb). They arrived yesterday and one is now fitted to my young daughter's tablet. She's constantly on it (as all kids today seem to be interfaced to a digital device) and not too careful plugging in the charging lead. These are great for protecting the device sockets thus an expensive repair. Recommended. Be aware it takes around 3 and a half weeks to get from China to the UK with the links supplied. Thank you Mr Techmoan!

I've own this type of cable since about 4 years now, definitely best cables I've ever had, I honestly bought about 15 cables, about half I gave them away to my parents, rest of them are all over my house, car, work, backpack, bicycle... Lately I've had the adaptors to fail, after constantly use, eventually worn out, I just got so surprised when I find out that the cables are so damn expensive now! Almost $20 for 1 cable... I've bought mine if I remember correctly 5 cables with 10 adaptors for about $60. For some reason they are selling them with two adaptors 1 USB and the other one iPhone... That's just stupid. Anyway, I've seen cables for about $4 now, I am definitely going to try that out. Maybe by now the cheaper one got better.

Well I do hope you buy a phone above 20 bucks if you want to have a phone that doesn't rip its own USB connector out once it hangs from the charging lead. I love having a connector that can save my phone from falling from the nightstand because I pull on the cable by accident. Rather than it ripping the phone from the stand without the cable on it and it dropping to it's death I rather have my phone hanging just above the ground, if I were at all lucky. A phone with a magnetic connector that's faced away from the way the cable pulls will still get thrown off of the nightstand. Heavier phones will still disconnect unless you have some kind of super-locking connector.

@John_Ridley

8 жыл бұрын

Falling isn't such a big deal. Tripping on the cable can really tear at the connector though. Reducing damage to the devices' connector is the whole reason Apple invented Magsafe.

I use this device myself but not because it's easier or more convenient, it's NOT. I bought mine for 3 reasons based on phone PROTECTION which weren't even considered in this video. 1.it is permanently in the charging socket keeping dirt out 2.you aren't wearing out the connection in your phone every time you charge it 3.if you catch the wire it just pops off instead of damaging the connection or pulling your phone onto the floor. please take a look at these again as I think you just reviewed them as a novelty and missed the point. I love the channel as you give things a pretty balanced review with a light hearted tone and plain English not teccy babble. keep up the good work 👍

I bought the wsken micro USB version based on this review, and I am very happy with it. Thanks!

I got the WSKEN Mini (USB-C), it arrived today as I got it from eBay. It's pretty good and fits only one way as the magnetic fields keep it oriented only one way. I thought I'd have problems with the connector fitting though my hard case but it fits great. Nice! :)

Have you tried any where its two part system that lets you use your own cable? IE for the new headphone jack lightning adapter.

How do you prevent small magnetic particles from attaching to the magnetized connector, or how do you clean the particles out? Thank you!

The reason I use these is simply to save the charging port on my phones. My sockets tend to last about 1.5 years before they become troublesome, but by using these connectors the sockets never degrade, plus they are sealed and dont get dirty. I find the best ones are actually just adapters that go on the end of your existing charging cable, so they are quite cheap, and its easy to replace the cable if its damaged (just get another cable from the nearest supermarket/service station if you need one immediately, rather than waiting for shipping).\ Problems Ive had are that the magnets can break apart, and if you do any metalwork and arent careful you may get a bunch of metal filings stuck in/on them

Literally any cable is better than an Apple cable.

Some of the highest quality cables have been braided. 99% is total FUD. If you buy cheap you get cheap.

your reviews are super helpful

Hi Techmoan! Can you check if usb otg cable works with Sweetlf adapter?

I Just want a Micro USB connection that is reliable for more than a month. Micro USB 2.0 can't die soon enough.

All cable that aren't made by Apple are wrong! The ghost of Steve Jobs will haunt you!

Given the scares we've had with dodgy USB-C cables recently I'd have to say that Apple's probably got the right idea certifying Lightning cables.

Your not wrong there cheaper micro usb cables can mess about with charging times

I think that's a byproduct of higher charge currents and the current proliferation of really shite grade cable made from plated [whatever metal was cheap at shenzen market this week]

USB-IF is following Apple, now there will be certified USB-C cable.

Yes, but imho I think they might have instituted that a little bit too late. Plenty of spec-compliant USB-C cables already on the market that won't read as certified whenever the cert spec comes out. Then again, the bigger problem seems to be the two largest phone vendors sticking with inferior proprietary or obsolete connectors in the name of accessory compatibility. Everything is still micro-B or Lightning and using a Type-C phone (Nexus 6P) makes you really feel like you've gone back to the days of proprietary chargers and having to carry your own wires around everywhere. ***** Going to assume you mean that copper-clad aluminium garbage that you see as really cheap bulk Ethernet cable sometimes?

do they make a 6ft version of x-cable mini 2? my thermaltake is wall mounted above the monitor, there's quite a distance, 3ft barely reaches, but I'd like the phone to sit flat on its back on the desktop, not standing up.

Im only looking for charing USB devices. Is the X-cable or the SweetLF (corded, not adapter) better? The X-cable only attaches in one way, the SweetLF however can be attached on both sides, right? So is there any difference in build quality between the two?

I have two words that will blow your mind: Wireless Charging...

they cant make it magically different so that no one can copy it. someone just has to measure the frequency of their wireless charger and china will do the job. but they wont do it because it has a metal case.

lol apple sheeps trying hard to get wireless charger xD

Hey Techmoan since you tested a lot of these maybe you know more to this: Most of these cables are way too stiff for outdoor use (having a mobile battery in your pocket and a cable connected to your phone) so they always stick out and get caught into things. Now there is Cables that are completely flat and tend to be more flexible. Do you know if such a thing exists in combination with the magnetic connector?

This was a thorough review. Thank you.

Just go wireless ,oh forgot Apple dont do that yet ,they are a couple of years behind

I do sometimes, I have the chargers, but wireless is very inefficient. If everyone was using wireless to charge their phones, the world would get through a hell of a lot more power dumped as heat. In my measurements, a Qi charger is only about 50% efficient. So it's dumping 2.8*5 = 13 watt hours of power for every charge. Multiply by a billion or so phones, every day.

It still uses electrical connections. The magnet isn't transferring power at all, it's merely just holding metal pins together, which is the same electrical contact as the normal connector anyway. Just a different method of "holding it" in place.

Brandon MacEachern I'm sure he knows that. The point is that wireless accomplishes the same things that most people are going for with the magnetic connector - eliminate wear from plugging in and out all the time, and make it easier to plug in (just drop the phone on top of a surface for wireless. The downside to wireless charging is that it's less efficient and it isn't as fast as plugging in.

man your finger nails are grosse !!

Does the Wsken lightning connector to the cable match up the same as the micro usb one? So you can theoretically have 2 cables that can plug into any device.

I'm using a WSKEN magnetic cable for my Sony Xperia Z3 Compact since 2 years now. Couldn't be happier with that thing, the magnet is strong yet it doesn't feel like it would break the magnetic connector on my phone (like cheaper ones actually do). Although the brand is not very well known, I can HIGHLY recommend buying their products!!

How much additional width does the wsken cable add? I'm trying to find a magnetic cable that fits a lifeproof case but everyone I've found that works is either out of stock or discontinued

Just a general question: Do the magnetic micro USB cables loosen and stop working after a while like standard cables?

I'm using the Moizen M2 Magnetic cable and it have also on both sides a magnet and you can put the cable on both sides to the "stick" and it works very well. The cable is a few years old and now they have the Moizon M5 magnetic cable and with it comes one usb-c, one micro-usb and one lightning "stick".

Are those pins going to be energised by the phone when not being charged (otherwise it couldn't operate USB-OTG devices)? You'd be relying on the phone's circuitry to protect itself from short circuits between power/ground and power/data by coins, keys, etc. that may come into contact with the pins.

I have been using magnetic cables from Volta, and they are the best I could try! They recently released a 2.0, which fix most problems the other ones had. The magnets join up perfectly, the tips aren't too thick, are reversible, and you can buy separate USB C, Micro USB and Lightning (by the way, Lightning is using a USB standard, no need to separate it from the rest in the video intro) and use the same cable for all the devices you have. The cables are really strong and have an LED. I know it looks like I am promoting these cables, but these are definitely the best cables I could try!

Better than the ones he suggested?

will this work with a otterbox defender case?

I always thought this was to save your ports and come undone when the cable was tripped on. I never thought of this being convenient or easier.

Hello, I too look for normal cable. This wsken can deliver 2A? All what I can find is 1.5A real (2.4A on the box)

Please suggest me for a magnetic data cable which support/compatible one plus 6 dash charge(5v 4amps) ???

Looks like WSKEN Mini 2 lighting connector hasn't got all the pins that standard lighting connector has. WSKEN Mini 2 has two pins on one side and another side has some pins missing too. Why is that..? Does it mattes, which way I plug this connector into my iphone..?

I really enjoy the aesthetic of the old MacBook MagSafe chargers, so the fact that most of these seem to mimic that look makes me like them better than the standard Lightning-USB connector you get with an iPhone.
