It’s not an entirely new idea given Nomad’s Universal Cable from earlier this year can charge an Apple Watch and an additional device at the same time, but Zens’ new Pro 2 and Pro 3 USB-C cables offer additional functionality and some welcome future-proofing as chargers become more powerful.
The cheaper of the two is the €49.99 (around $58) Pro 2 USB-C charging cable that includes an inline Qi2 charging puck that can wirelessly charge a smartphone or earbuds at up to 15W speeds. It’s not Qi2.2 compatible so you won’t get faster 25W wireless charging, but it is compatible with 140W chargers so you can plug in a power-hungry laptop, and Zens says the cable also supports charging rates up to 240W once more powerful chargers become common.

At nearly twice the price the €99.99 (around $117) Pro 3 USB-C charging cable offers the same functionality as the Pro 2 but adds an additional wireless charger for AirPods and the Apple Watch. Both versions measure 59-inches in length and are available for preorder now with shipping expected sometime in October 2025.
