People want what they want, and apparently, that’s a charging system that doesn’t involve a lot of cords, cables, and tangles. On March 21, the crowdfunding campaign for the Magfast Family went live, and in about 15 minutes, managed to reach its goal of $300,000, indicating the strong desire for a new charging solution.

So what precisely is this highly desirable Magfast? Described as an alternative to messy, wire-laden charging systems, this family of chargers relies on the power of magnets to link together, much like Legos, providing a charging solution that is efficient and easy on the eyes.

The Magfast Family comes with six chargers, covering every charging situation, and promises easy and quick charging for all your mobile devices. All of Magfast’s power banks come with a self-storing and replaceable built-in cable, traditional USB-A and new USB-C outlets, as well as wireless charging.

While each individual Mgafast charger can work on its own, the system’s modular design allows you to connect multiple units together for “easy and rapid charging without wires.” There’s the LifeCharger, a portable powerbank that is easy to charge and can easily charge any device, all while fitting in the palm of your hand. Then, there’s the LifeCharger Extreme, which boasts the maximum power allowed by FAA law — that’s enough to jump start your car.

Then, you have the RoadCharger, which when plugged into your 12v outlet gives you 4 USB outlets for you and your carmates to charge your devices with. As for AirCharger, this device supports wireless charging, and promises to be “perfect for the kitchen or office.” The WallCharger claims to provide a station for wireless charging not only for your mobile devices, but for the whole family of Magfast chargers as well. And finally, if you have an Apple Watch, the TimeCharger is for you.

“There’s two problems with most chargers today,” said Seymour Segnit, Magfast founder and CEO. “They’re ugly with all those messy wires, which is no good in your environment — and most are so cheaply made they quickly go to landfill, which is really bad for everyone’s environment.”

“Magfast is changing charging for good with world-class design and the best manufacturing, so these products will really last,” Segnit continued. And best of all, Magfast says it will plant a tree for every product sold during its launch.

You can pre-order the whole Magfast Family now at Magfast.com, from $49 for individual components and $297 for the whole set.

Belkin has announced two new additions to its MagSafe charging lineup. The first is the Boost Charge Pro 3-in-1 Wireless Charging Pad with MagSafe for the iPhone 13 and other Apple devices. And the second is the Boost Charge Pro Portable Fast Charger for the Apple Watch Series 7. Both are part of Belkin's Made for MagSafe collection.

We've received a review unit of the charging pad, and will be testing it to see if it's worthy of adding to our roundup of the best iPhone MagSafe accessories of 2021 before the year is up. Another of Belkin's chargers, a different 3-in-1 MagSafe charger, is already on the list, but it is made for slightly older models of Apple devices.

DTS Play-Fi wants to eliminate the speaker wires in your 5.1 home theater setup
DTS Play-Fi Home Theater.

Despite having been around for more than a decade, DTS Play-Fi simply doesn't enjoy the same kind of brand recognition as Apple's AirPlay or Google's Chromecast, even though Play-Fi performs a very similar function: It lets you stream very high-quality audio over Wi-Fi to any Play-Fi-compatible speakers. But that might be about to change. Today, the company that is probably best known for its DTS and DTS:X movie theater surround sound formats, is announcing a new generation of its Play-Fi technology that expands the system into multichannel home theaters.

The new platform is called, somewhat obviously, Play-Fi Home Theater. It achieves the same goal as a wireless soundbar package or a WiSA speaker system in that it can eliminate all of your speaker cables, making the setup and positioning of your home theater speakers way easier. But Play-Fi Home Theater is considerably more sophisticated and expandable than either of those other options.
 A major asset
Play-Fi Home Theater's biggest asset is that it works over your existing Wi-Fi network. So there's no need for a specialized dongle or transmitter (which you'd need with a WiSA-based system), and you won't even need an HDMI cable to connect your TV to a soundbar or another control module as is the case with virtually all of today's batch of multispeaker soundbar systems.
