Keeping up with the tech
I have enough cables of all types to last me a lifetime but I never realised that technology had moved on over the years.The benefits of magnetic connectors cannot be overstated. You can connect cables in the dark or without your glasses, while having the adaptor permanently in the phone or tablet keeps the connector clean and also prevents the damage to the sockets through constant inserting and removal.I've had magnetic connectors for some time now some better than others but I prefer these circular ones as they are just easier then the first ones I purchased which are oblong and need putting in in the right direction. I bought a set of Vafoton cables a few months ago which I thought were fine until I read an article on charging cables. I realised that there are big differences in current handling between even the same make of cables and that you need the best cables in order to maximise the new charging capabilities of 'fast charge' on the latest phones etc. I was frustrated by not getting the charging times I knew my phone was capable of so I bought a set of the ultimat Vafoton green cables which are able to charge at 100w. I can now charge up my phone much faster now. If I forget to charge the phone at night, I know I can charge it enough for almost a day, in the morning, in less than a half hour, which is so useful. A lot of my stuff (especially the microUSB ones) can't 'fast charge' anyway so its a waste using the expensive green cables and I bought these as a less expensive option. They work really well, are not quite as fast but give the maximum level of charge that the equipment can use anyway and the price is more reasonable. The magnets are really powerful and I love the 360 degree heads which enable you to move the phone and tuck the cable out of the way without it detaching. As time goes on and equipment improves and gets replaced if you don't have uprated cables like these you will have to buy them anyway so why wait.The nine pin configuration allows you to get the full benefit of USBC charging and data transfer so its a worthwhile investment. They are all downwards compatibility so you can use the same adaptors with all the cables so there is a further economy there.Connected to a regular USB charger these won't power a laptop nor if connected to a 60-100w charger. For that you will need the green Vafoton and a fast charger.

Great idea!
Really useful charger cable. Comes with a range of attachments that you can leave plugged into your devices, which can then all be charged from the same cable (obvs not all at the same time!) I used to have 4 different cables to charge 4 different devices but now I don’t have to change these cables over.The cable is 2m long, so it’s convenient to use as you don’t need to be within 1m of the plug like with my previous charger.Only slight issue is that the end of be charger is magnetic, so does accumulate tiny fragments of metal, which do need removing occasionally as they can sometimes prevent a connection with the adapter.Overall a great product

Great magnetic charging leads, so good we have ordered 3 sets.
I started using magnetic charging cables approx 8yrs ago, I was sick of damaged cables, at least with the magnetic ones, if too much pressure is applied they simply disconnect, I also love the simplicity of being able to use the same lead for a number of devices.My previous set was a 6 pack from Vafoton, and it was the best set of cables I had ever had, nice strong magnets, I liked how they only lite up when connected to a device and power was pacing through the tip - otherwise the light stays off, nice heavy duty cables without added bulk, and they last a life time if you look after them, meaning they are reliable.. 4year later they are still going strong. When it came to replacing my cables with 100w usb c powered cables I knew I wanted to purchase Vafoton cables again, we are so happy with them we have purchased three of these sets, additional tips, and a additional 3 pack of usb A cables with the 9 pin tips.This means we have at least a couple in every room, and spares which we keep in our bags with our magsafe portable chargers - which allows us to charge our phones and earbuds at the same time whilst out and about.The only issue we have found with these is that the tips are a bit too big to fit our vape devices which have silicone port covers, but that's the design of the device not the cables. I have also had to modify some of our heavy duty phone cases so that the circular magnetic tips fit into the charging port, but this is a small sacrifice, our normal silicone and slimer cases are fine with these tips.

Really like this magnetic functionality
It is so handy to be able to connect magnetically to my phone/devices. The cables are long and strong, the magnets are good and there is a little blue light in the end of each, which might annoy some people in a bedroom, but I like it.. These cables aren't cheap, but I actually bought more because I love the design. Unfortunately I have lost a couple of the magnetic usb connectors when taking my phone out of its case, but that is my stupid fault, the cables and connectors are first rate. And they charge really quickly too.

really useful
They work as advertised. They are really useful. Makes it way easier to quickly plug in or unplug, so its super easy to keep devices charged. I've recommended them to a few friends and family now

Not quite “universal”
Great idea, and generally ok, but it’s a little fussy over the charger and with some will not charge your device. iPads seem the most susceptible to this, which is frustrating. Had similar issue with another usb-c “universal” cable, not it’s not just this cable, but it does mean it’s not quite as useful as claimed
