High hopes, but dismal results.
I ordered a 2-pack of 10ft cables, and a 3-pack of 6.6/3.3/1.6ft cables to simplify cable management/sharing for myself and my wife/our devices. We have Android, Apple, and random other devices in our house. Upon opening, everything seemed to be in order. The cables themselves seemed of decent quality and had a good mix of rigidity and flexibility. The reason for ordering was that I was hopeful that the connectors/tips would work with my Pelican and her Otter Box phone case and not have to modify them to fit a round connector tip, as used by other manufacturers.I first unwound the 1.6ft cable first, inserted the USB-C connector into my phone (which is an OK fit at best, far from great), and tried to test out the cable. The magnet found it's home quickly to the connector tip, and with good strength. However, I received no function (no charging, no data sync, etc.) from the connection. Upon inspecting the connector on the cable end, I found that 2 of the 4 pins on one of the sides (4 on top and 4 on bottom) in the connector were folded flat in the back of the connector and not in position to be able to make any connection.After this, I unwound the 3.3ft cable and tried it. After connection, my phone powered up, the PC indicated a data connection to the device as was expected. I unplugged/replugged the cable a few different times to test out the strength/durability of the connector. I found that unplugging/re-plugging the connector would wiggle the inserted tip significantly back and forth. I found that the connector tip in the phone had significant play in it and would work itself partially out due to the magnet's strength on the cable. It never pulled the connector tip all of the way out, but it was probably at the 50% mark. Since my USB connector on this phone is rarely used due to Bluetooth audio and wireless charging devices, this was a bit of a surprise to me to be this loose. After letting it sit connected on my desk for a about 10 min, I noticed it randomly drop/start charging again twice despite the cable/connector/phone not being moved. I don't know what to make of this, but it did not leave me confident in the product.After mixed results testing with the phone, I then tried to move on to a mini-USB port that is on a new pair of brand new Bluetooth headphones for my PC that I just received. I popped the mini-USB connector tip out of the included holder and inserted it into the headphones. Again, the magnetic insert/tip was loose/sloppy in the connector on the device. There was significant play in all directions. After connecting the cable, I again received no connection to the headphones. No data transfer or charging capabilities. I tried holding the connector in different positions/angles/pressures to see if any combination would result in a charging light. No luck. I repeated this process with the both of the other two mini-USB tips that were included in the 3-cable pack. The other two were just as loose/ill-fitting as the first. After 30min of trying different tips/angles/pressures with all 3 tips, the charging light had come on for a split second on just 2 occasions. Nothing repeatable. When using the inexpensively-made standard cable that came with the headphones, the connection was solid and charging light instantly lit, so I don't believe it is anything wrong with the device.Overall, the cables and magnets may be/seem to be manufactured decently, but the poor quality of the insert tips leaves them all unusable. No matter how well the cable or magnet technology works, when that power/data can't solidly get to the pins for the device you are connecting to, it makes the other things equally as useless. I am returning both the 3-pack of shorter and the 2-pack of longer cables as a result of the poor quality tips/inserts. If they can get the quality/specs for the various inserts/tips to be better and make a more solid connection, this could be a decent option. Until then, I would recommend against this product.

Works well with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
I'm using these cables with an iPhone 13 Pro and a Samsung Galaxy S21+. Both devices connect to my car infotainment system without any issues using Apple CarPlay and Android Auto respectively. These cables are more expensive than others available but after reading many reviews of the others, I chose these because the reviews suggested the best option for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. I recommend these cables and purchased a second set immediately after receiving the first.

Still an excellent product!
This set of cords and inserts is fantastic! I've had this product for about 8 months. I use one in my car, one at my desk, and one on a nightstand. The magnetic connection keeps the phone tethered to the charging/data cable. It functions in both positions, so you don't have to connect it with the "right side up". The magnet is a little weak, so it is easy to break the connection if you aren't careful. This is both a good thing (safety) and a nuisance if you're not careful. I haven't done any serious testing, but from basic observations my phone behaves as if I was using the lightning cable it came with to transfer files, charge the battery, listen to music, etc. The best part about this product is how quickly and easily it connects without any wear and tear on the phone's one data/charge port. I HIGHLY recommend this product. The only downside is if you still use wired headphones; getting the insert out of the phone, especially if you have a tight case, is not easy. Works well with wireless ear buds like the AirPods.

Great but takes getting use too
Charging is great with cubes that aren’t iPhone product, I don’t know why but they charge supper slow. I got them for work bc I’m always in and out of my service truck in dust and the environment always messing with my charger ports so I use them as a safety solution. However with that said if you are going to use them at work keep a tooth brush with you to clean the random things that will magnetize to the connection. Also noticed with iPhone if it stops wanting to charge easiest way to fix is the off on method the reattach cord. As for the lengths worked perfect in my opinion. I leave super short on in kitchen, the medium one in the trucks and the long ones in our rooms.

Why didn't I know about these sooner?!
Been using these magnetic cables for 6 months now and I wish I had gotten these sooner, I love them. So much that I bought a second set so I could put them in everything. So far I've got them in my phone, 3 pairs of bluetooth headphones, mouse, keyboard, and a power bank and have been very pleased with them. The force of the magnets make the connection feel pretty secure and I prefer the flat shape over other round adapters. I only wish they included a cable with magnetic adapters on both ends so I could connect these devices to each other, but it's a pretty niche case. Would buy again if I ever need more.Word of warning though. Both the phones I've use these with (Google Pixel 3a and 5a) had major issues with compass accuracy while the adapters were plugged into the phone. Not at all surprising that sticking a magnet to the phone would interfere with the compass, just something to keep in mind if you use your phone for navigation.

Worth the price
The variety of multiple heads means I only need one cord for multiple devices with different plugs. The different lengths allows me to charge in multiple places with ease. Love them, 100% would buy again
