Recently, I had the opportunity to try the ESR 3-in-1 MagSafe Charging Station featuring CryoBoost. After a few weeks of use, I can genuinely say it’s among the top MagSafe chargers I’ve experienced—particularly for those deeply integrated into the Apple ecosystem.
MagSafe Monday: Each week, Bradley Chambers explores the best in MagSafe and wireless charging to enhance your experience with Apple devices that support wireless charging.
Upon opening the package, the charger exudes quality. Its sleek white finish (with a black option available) complements my workspace effortlessly. Located adjacent to our main entrance, I maintain a tidy desk, and the inclined iPhone pad is a thoughtful feature, ideal for FaceTiming or confirming login notifications while charging. Its design is both aesthetic and practical, effectively minimizing cable clutter on my desk.
The most remarkable feature of this dock is its 15W Qi2-certified fast charging capability. I’ve noticed significantly quicker charging for my iPhone 15 Pro compared to other non-Qi2 chargers. Additionally, the CryoBoost cooling system is a welcome enhancement. Unlike typical wireless chargers that can become warm during extended use, this technology keeps the charger comfortably cool, even when powering my phone and AirPods Pro at the same time. Effective heat management equates to increased charging efficiency.
The magnetic holding strength of 1,000g is impressive—it securely holds my iPhone even if my desk is bumped. Thanks to its MagSafe compatibility, the alignment is always spot on when I place my device and it’s easy to detach with one hand.
Unboxing and Setup
The package includes a charger and a USB-C cable, but the detachable Apple Watch charger is an innovative element. It connects via USB-C to the back and can also be removed for use as a portable Apple Watch charger or plugged into a laptop. This feature by ESR adds versatility, and I appreciate the added functionality. It can even charge your AirPods!
Conclusion
The ESR 3-in-1 Wireless Charging Station with CryoBoost (HaloLock) meets its claims. It is fast, effective, and ideal for anyone looking to simplify their charging setup. With its robust magnetic hold, certified fast charging, and intelligent design, it stands out for both home and travel use. If you aim to streamline your charging process and keep your devices ready for action, this charger is a smart buy.
