Review on Terasako Magnetic Charging Cable Set - 4-Pack, 3-in-1 Nylon Braided Cord, Compatible with Mirco USB, Type C and iProduct Devices by Jason Hutchinson

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Good price, variety and convenience, but slow charging is the downside of this product.

PROS: The price for this was good for what you get. I paid just under $20 and received 4 cables of different sizes and shapes. The ends of the cords glow blue when turned on so you can easily see if it's plugged in, and it looks pretty! Seems strong enough, but time will tell. I will update this if there are any issues. I love that it comes with multiple pieces of each magnetic adapter. I use all 3 included magnetic adapters (Micro USB for my smartwatch and game controllers, USB C for my Samsung Note 8 controller and Nintendo Switch, and a Lightning cable for my BeatsX). I also like the variety of cable sizes, the 6ft right angle cable works great with my Nintendo Switch, Xbox One and PS4 game controllers as well as my smartphone. A 3ft cable will work fine for my car, but I'm hoping it will work with Android Auto (I doubt it, see CONS for explanation). The shortest cable works great for my SmartWatch and BeatsX. I still had enough magnetic adapters and cables to give my mom one for her micro USB cable with my phone and Lightning cable with my iPad. CONS: As I feared, you get what you pay for. No fast/quick charging option! Serious? Almost every device these days has fast charging capabilities. (Even wireless fast/fast charging!). What worries me is that I can't transfer data via cables and tips either, and this makes it impossible for me to use Android Auto (I'm not optimistic, but I'll update when I am. We tested it) *Here's the main issue: when I can't use Android Auto, I have to remove the USB-C magnetic tip every time I drive and eventually lose the magnetic tips.*NOTE. The seller never advertised fast charging or data capabilities (to my knowledge), but given the current state of the art I assumed that feature would be standard. Overall I give it 3/5 stars for the price, versatility, variety and number of sizes of cords and magnetic tips. I would give 5/5 stars if it allowed fast charging, but for the price it's a decent product.

Pros
  • Perfect for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Upgrade availability
