Good but with a few drawbacks
What do you get? I ordered the 3 pack so I received a small plastic zip top bag with 3 cables and 3 USB-C heads. Each cable is a soft braided type and seems of good quality.I tested each head with each cable and they all worked right out of the pack. After about a week one cable seemed to be having problems making a connection...but weirdly this resolved itself by the next day, no idea how/why.When the cable is plugged into a power adaptor a quite bright blue light shines in a ring around the magnetic (phone) end of the cable (as others have said in a dark room this is very bright). It doesn't matter if a phone is attached or not, if the cable has power..it lights up.As for the heads, while small enough to be lost they are rather large on a phone without a case. Speaking of cases, some cases will probably get in the way of the plug going in properly, the diameter of the magnetic connector is quite large compared to a "naked" phone...so rock and a hard place.The magnets are quite stong (not stong enough to start swinging the phone around on the cable.....unless you really want a new phone). Strong enough that they can pull the head out of the phone if you pull the cable off (well...try to pull it off). Two solutions, number 1....don't just pull the cable straight off...make it more of a snapping motion. Number 2, take a pair of pliers and very, very, very gently squeeze through the wide part of the USB-C plug, this should cause a slight bowing in the plug part in the phone socket and (hopefully) incease the friction so it doesn't just pull out. Now if you have quite a new phone that hasn't had a charger cable going in and out for months on end then you may not need these fixes...but now you know what to do if needed.So, how well do they work? Very well actually. My Note 8 will fast charge using them no problem at all. The 3 pack is handy as I threw one cable in the car, one in the home office and one in the bedroom. The spare heads went back in the bag and are tucked away ready for if (probably when) I lose one.For me, well worth the money.

Strong magnet
I had similar charging cables earlier, but these ones have more strong magnets, and stick to the bit easily.

good quality
generally very happy with this cable. seems well made and durable and charges quickly.just have to be careful when connecting sometimes although it seems to have connected it doesn't start charging and you have to reconnect it. i once connected it and left it to charge but when I came back it hadn't chrged. you have to make sure the charging battery icon appears on your device to be certain it is charging.

Good magnetic cables that actually fast charge
Overall the magnetic cables are really good and have saved me from needing to buy more cables as my family have a habit of breaking the standard charger cables at the phone end due to excessive bending or pulling on them.They fast charge and can be used for data backup too, the connection has about 7 small pins that make the connection and seam to be more reliable than the single pin cables.The only down side is the adaptors that plug in the end can be a bit hit or miss with phone cases and can break after a while however it still lasts longer than a standard cable.

I needed different connectors
I didn't realise it only had one type of connector. I should have ordered the one with multiple connectors for all my different devices.

Wish there was a no-led cable for night time charging
Good quality, fast charges on all of my chargers without any issue. Just wish one of the cables had no led for charging next to my bed, going to have to put some tape over it or something. Diameter of USB-C magnetic insert slightly bigger than it could be so it sticks out like a sore thumb on the phone especially if my phone is not in its protective case. A few steps from the perfect charging cable

USB-C plug falls out of phone's USB-C port.
I purchased a new phone that has a USB-C port and since my previous phone used USB-Micro I needed a USB-C cable, I liked the idea of a magnetic connector type so purchased this NETBOT cable.USB-C is a standard and as such all USB-C connectors should connect into any USB-C port without issue. Not so with this product. I've tested all three supplied USB-C connectors heads in the USB-C port of my phone (with and without case on) and in all instances the head just fell out of the port, no connection with the port at all.The cable appeared good quality, the magnet seemed strong enough, but when the actual head will not stay in the phone for even a second then the product as a whole has no function and it makes me question if there is a potential quality control issues with this NETBOT product.Going in the draw of items that appeared a good idea at the time but proved a waste of money.
