 And this is how we do b-roll So me and Kyle actually about one year and a month ago Volta had sent us out some cables and they were the Volta 1.0 cables And we were really impressed because these are not like some of the cheap Ones that were on eBay that were like magnet tip chargers to make charging easier These are actually really high quality braided cables and we out of our own pocket after they sent us some bought I don't know like all of the things a couple more cables all the tips all the different tips. We like the products so much we You know it was cool that they sent us a review But it did get us hooked right away and the video was really popular and we said hey You know this is neat Well, they reached out to us again because they made the 2.0 cables And we ran into very minor issues like the cable itself over a year Still awesome on the 1.0 and unfortunately the 1.0 is not compatible with the 2.0 Right, but the problem is and partly my problem. Okay, all of my problem I've dropped my phone a lot and I've cracked the screen a couple times I've dropped it pretty hard and I and in dropping it. I broke the little tips on the 1.0 version they seem to be pretty solid But if it turns out if you drop it on cement enough times they will crack and You didn't drop yours, but you managed to crack your 1.0 tip as well, right? Yeah, unfortunately I think it was I don't know if it was just a magnet because I would let it just smack into it I noticed the magnet started to come a little loose on the actual tip So it would Move and make the connection a little looser and I had it for again I had it more than a year because I think you had them a little bit before we did Yeah, we had them before we did the video because like we've had these for about a month that we've been using them too, so we actually gave it to us like a year later From the video But one of the things we do before we do the review is not just an unboxing We actually both have been using them this way we're hearing a video on this But one thing I can say about the new ones and this is a testament to the way they're designed Is let me pop this in real quick And uh, you can't do this with the old delta, but it works great with this one I mean, I can really dangle my phone without thinking about it. It's You wonder why time drops this phone. Yeah So they've improved the tip the 1.0 tip like I said won't matter of fact It won't even they made the magnets opposite polar So when you try to push the 1.0 tip they're reversed So you can't accidentally try but the edge connector is completely different design This is definitely an upgraded design solid and by looking at the design up close It definitely looks like that problem's not going to occur again in terms of just the tip design They are pretty much the exact same size, but they feel more durable And the magnets definitely feel stronger. So We're hoping that works out really well. So let's take a little bit closer look at the cables here So the tips themselves are, you know, this one's a uspc and it's like magic. It just flies in there. It is It is crazy. How good they work like even at that distance they pop right in That's how I was able to drag the phone along. They also do have these and these are these weird little idea of We've never used them. They sent to us last time or did you use any Kyle? I've never used them. Yeah, they're the Converter so they will convert a standard like this one's a usb This converts it So now any usb can be An adapter now Novel I don't know this it is something they have in their cart, but we really like the cables themselves It's for if you have a bunch of old chargers They've got um different converters for the like the old micro usb's So that if you have a bunch of you know phone chargers, you can still use your old chargers and just use the magnetic tips Yeah, and we have because everything we have now is usbc So we haven't even opened up the micro usb ones We still have in the package here and we still have these adapters at the volt of 1.0 in a package in a box Uh other than taking them out I think for the video that was about all we did with them But they're a really nice design. They're like any usbc. They're going to be Compatible to flip them either way So I can flip them this way or flip them that way now This I want to leave it in a close-up here because this is the hd one the xl Yeah, xl. I call hd this wrong term xl is the right term. Um, this is a heavier magnet So This one's made for charging a laptop as long as the laptop is less than 4.3 amps It will charge uh usbc laptops and it's standard usbc on this side But just for comparison here and also incompatible if you get the xl ones whoops The tips will stick together You can get the tips on there, but you can see this Size difference between one tip to the other and if you try to put the smaller tip even on there They got the magnet set to be opposite. So they it just jumps to the side each time So it won't actually Stay on there But these ones go into and this is really heavy duty. So it's a way to convert an existing laptop over to be a laptop that can do the Charging like this like a mag charger like they they have that's actually one of the things they talk about Is it kind of brings your old like the math books back to that mag save style charging? Yeah, so now this cable is not available yet It's the same cable but right angle and they sent us a couple of these these aren't available for purchase They said these are going to be in indiegogo indiegogo or Kickstarter one of those two go go. Yeah I don't know when they're going to be announcing them on there So they're not available yet, but we have been testing these as well This one works awesome in my tesla because of the way the usb isn't a tesla where the phone holder is I set this at the bottom They got a hook and what you're supposed to do is you have a usb sticking up in the tesla one And you slide your phone and so wiggle your phone I'm supposed to lock in turns out this fits in here perfectly with the magnet So I can then right angle my phone into charging. Is this the tip for my phone? I think so. Okay. Yeah, there we go But you know, it's the same strength. So if I hold it from this angle here It's still same strength that hold the phone up. It just happens to be right angle But the nice thing is when the pull away on these is great because I have at my desk as well with the right angle So as my phone is you set sideways like this. So when I pick my phone up, I can just Pull away from it without having to worry about fiddling in there and then for charging it It's just as quick to do it. It's so easy like you can barely I don't even think you got to be sober to plug your phone charger. You don't So it's pretty outstanding. Um, what'd you think of these kyle? I've been using one. I like it Um, so these are just the usbcs. They actually are a little bit higher power I've been using the ones that also had the old usb a's on them. Yeah, that would be this one here Yep, so they have two. Um, I like them. They're There's not much to say about them. They are Charging bricks they support There. Oh, they shipped them with the european plug adapters on them. Uh, that's how they shipped them to us with there They got the one with the dual and they have the one with a single over here Um, I do believe the singles are actually they're uh higher voltage So these single c's are going to be for like your laptops. Yeah, they're they go they negotiate the voltage on the c's Oh neat So these will actually the multi will also negotiate but just not as high just not as high Kind of novel they have these they feel solid. They don't feel is Uh, generically cheap and I they're they've got some weights. And I compared them. They feel on par And I can't speak for this for longevity. We've only had these for about a month Uh, but I've been a big fan of the anchor ones. I've talked about them before the the I don't mind paying a little more for a solid usb Charger one if you ever dive deep into the forums, there's old talks about, you know, dirty noise that comes off of some of these I don't really have any good testing for it. It's something that if you had an oscilloscope You can look to see if the waveform was clean on it for the dc voltage But a higher quality charger generally speaking is going to be a little bit better than some of the really chintzy ones And my phone, I mean, it's not the thousand dollar phone anymore But when I bought it as expensive phone, I do care that I plug it into decent charging equipment It was still a thousand dollar phone like it is still a flagship phone Yeah, it's still a flagship phone and uh, I still like my pixel 2x l the last thing I will say And I do know there are some knockoff companies out there that right away copy things now my concern Because please note the size of this and if you paid attention to the last black hat or def con They found ways to add chips to these uh to figure out how to what are they called the pwn? Pwn to own or something? Well, no, no, it was uh, it was the charge pwn. It was part of a talk I'll find it linked to it. It's kind of interesting article because they they look like regular charge cables for apple devices But it turns out they actually hijack your phone someone made a proof of concept and they have other ones that act as um HID devices. So yes when you plug it into a computer It's now a mouse and keyboard and that that is a concern when you're buying off brand or cheap cables volta Because we've actually talked to people there. They seem really nice Uh They seem to not be someone who would make a nefarious thing and have a product versus when you look at some of the other Companies are always some random name you bought Because there's always someone trying to knock something off on amazon And the only other thing I will admit for these is if you look at the reviews People complain about the price. These aren't cheap. These are what like 20 bucks for a kid something like that But they also come with a warranty. So I can yeah, and I'll I mean, I don't know How much noise I can make doing this, but we're gonna do this and we're gonna do this Make that noise and the That's how hard I'm pulling this and you see other we talked about before they got them like people picking up Bricks with them I don't have anything like a strength meter to show just how much i'm pulling on this But I will tell you it's enough that look at the marks that leaves them are like it's It's real like these are really well made I'd feel like they're really durable and this is the 2.0 version the 1.0 version We never broke a cable. No only these are these are slightly thicker than the 1.0s Because also these are usb 3 the 1.0s were 2 as far as I'm aware right So they are a little bit thicker Because they actually support 3.0 speeds, but they We've had our 1.0s for over a year and they are solid like no fraying I've had no issues. It looks like brand new. Yeah, so like I said, they gave them The first batch they gave to us when we bought actually quite a few more And only because they this time they gave us more tips So we don't have to buy as many but I'm going to be adding these to my collection I've swapped out the one in my car and the one in my Office which is pretty much the two places I charge my phone the phone lasts a long I don't charge it at home very often, but I'll throw one at home But we think they're a good product they full disclosure. They did send us this for free We didn't have to buy any more like we did last time somebody says like two units We just liked it so much. We bought a bunch of them. I have Two cables at home now for the 1.0s and now I have a 2.0 at home. So I'm going to use them like now my 1.0s are going to be for my old tablets and maybe like a playstation controller Yeah, they still work for that So definitely definitely a good product. I do have an offer link below To get you I think it's a 10% off. I'll have a link for that when you're buying them I don't know just keep an eye on the product page when these right angle ones come out I think they're pretty cool. I'm excited. They there are same qualities the other ones But I just don't know when they're going to be released But maybe by the time you're watching this video if it's past august of 2019 Maybe they'll have them released. They said soon. That's all I know is soon Right, they didn't give an actual date. They actually got delayed a little bit. So yeah They were supposed to launch like by the time we got the cables and for reasons unknown I didn't ask why they got delayed maybe some manufacturing Details, but these are well made like the we're looking at the ends on these these things are like the the boots are super solid Yeah, you're not going to break this actually one tiny amount overhead and we've done is uh when you look at it You're not going to like you can see when I even pull it. It doesn't flex this This is a real solid rubber and it's crimped in here. You can see the line on the side It's kind of tiny But you see they actually molded and crimped this it is my guess I don't know the manufacturing process, but this isn't slipping off this isn't like just kind of on there loosely It seems to be actually put together really well So like I said, we're happy with the cables. Um, that's why we wanted to recommend them again to the new 2.0 version So for those of you, which I know a lot of people said they liked and bought the cables the 1.0 Keep buying them if you like those ones, but also the 2.0 If you're buying new ones or you haven't heard of volto before this is awesome I mean, I don't charge my phone any other way and same with you. Yeah Yeah, they're great if if you're getting new ones for the first time get the 2.0 But you can still pick up the 1.0 for now if you have a bunch of the ones Like dom's that they're not backwards compatible. So just keep that in mind And you can buy them direct from volto or I'm I think some of them once again Not the right angle with the other ones are available on amazon to which is great because the shipping Yes, I know when we they weren't when we first got them We had to get them on volto's website, which wasn't a problem, but it's nice to have them on amazon Yeah, and the thing we ran into and I think they've improved it but their shipping was slow I mean, it's and I say slow like it's normal. It's not right. We're used to amazon that we have a warehouse down the street So like we ordered a morning. It's here in the afternoon. Yeah, we're getting one day shipping on almost everything now So when you have to wait a week for something to ship it feels painful now. Yeah, it feels painful It's like wait. It isn't here already. I just ordered it though. How did we survive before this? How did we survive amazon has has made everyone else's shipping feel inferior? So I'm excited. They do have some of these on prime, but they may sell out But keep an eye on it.
