KUXIU Magsafe 3-in-1 charging station review – My new favorite travel charger

REVIEW – When I travel, I like to bring along my iPhone, Apple Watch, and Apple AirPods Pro earbuds. What I don’t like is having to bring along individual chargers for each device. The KUXIU Magsafe 3-in-1 charging station has been designed as a solution to that problem. Let’s see if it succeeds.

What is it?

The KUXIU X40Q is a 3-in-1 wireless charging station that features MagSafe and Qi2 wireless fast charging technology for your MagSafe enabled iPhone, Apple Watch, and your AirPods.

What’s included?

• KUXIU X40Q 3-in-1 charger
• Braided USB-C – USB-C cable
• USB-C 36W AC adapter
• Manual
• Zippered case

Design and features

The KUXIU charger is a folding 3-in-1 charger that’s available in four different colors. I was sent the Natural Titanium version. It’s also available in Gray, Black, and Titanium Gold.

Right away, I noticed the weight of this little charger and not in a bad way. Yes, it’s hefty, but that equals a quality product in my mind. It’s made of an aluminum alloy and not plastic. 

The extra weight allows it to become a stable stand when it’s unfolded. 

The top charger is for your MagSafe-enabled phones. I tested the KUXIU charger with my iPhone 16 Pro Max. The bottom charger is designed for Apple AirPods. I tested it with my original Apple AirPods Pro earbuds. Both of these charging surfaces have a rubber or silicone mat to prevent scratches.

Then the center charger pops out for your Apple Watch. I tested the KUXIU with my Apple Watch series 9.

In case you’re wondering, the KUXIU 3-in-1 charger can’t unfold to a completely flat format. This is a little bit of a bummer because it means that you can’t use the AirPod charging pad to charge a phone or other larger device because the Apple Watch pad gets in the way.

When you use the KUXIU charger with the included 30W (or any 30W) adapter, the Qi2 MagSafe charger will use 15W fast charging and can charge an iPhone from 0-50% in 30 mins. It will use 5W for Apple Watch charging from 0-80% in an hour and it will also use 5W to charge the AirPods.

The charger’s strong magnets also let you use it in both landscape and vertical orientations which means it works great in standby mode.

I used this charger to charge all three of my devices over the past week or two and have had no issues at all. It charges quickly and doesn’t get hot while doing so. It does get slightly warm, but the aluminum case is a good heat sink.

What I like about the KUXIU Magsafe 3-in-1 charging station

• Well made
• Folds into a compact form
• Charges compatible devices fast
• Great for travel
• Includes cable, AC adapter, and a carrying case

What needs to be improved?

• It would be nice if you could unfold it completely flat to use the AirPods charger for a 2nd phone or other device

Final thoughts

If you want a quality fast charging 3-in-1 charger for your iPhone, AirPods, and Apple Watch, I don’t think there’s a more compact and well made charger out there than the KUXIU X40Q. It may seem to be a little pricey, but the fact that it comes with a travel case, a braided cable, and a 30W AC adapter, it feels worth it to me.

Price: $80.99
Where to buy: Amazon, KUXIU and Walmart (cheaper, but only Qi and not Qi2)
