Wireless charging is a convenience many of us have come to rely on, but it’s not always seamless. Many phones lack built-in MagSafe compatibility, restricting charging options. The BASEUS Halo Series Magnetic Metal Ring (PCCH000001) aims to solve this problem with a simple yet effective solution: ultra-thin magnetic rings that add MagSafe functionality to your device. I’ve spent the last few weeks testing these rings with various phones and chargers, and I’m ready to share my findings.

The BASEUS Halo Series rings are incredibly thin – as advertised – you barely notice them on the back of your phone. The adhesive is strong and has held up well during my tests. The packaging is simple but effective, and the installation is straightforward. Each ring is remarkably small and adds minimal bulk to your phone, even in cases. The black color is discreet and matches most phone designs.

I tested these rings with my iPhone 13 Pro and a Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra, using both Apple MagSafe chargers and various Qi-certified wireless chargers. The magnetic connection on the iPhone was strong and consistent, holding the phone securely during charging. Charging speeds were comparable to using a standard MagSafe charger, with no noticeable drop-off. With the Samsung, the connection was also secure, though not as strong as the magnetic connection with the iPhone, but wireless charging worked without issue.

I also tested the rings with several different cases. While thicker cases might slightly reduce the strength of the magnetic connection, I experienced minimal impact on charging speed and stability, even with a relatively thick protective case.

The claim of the ring being unnoticeable is mostly true; its slim profile doesn’t interfere with using the phone or fitting it into pockets. The adhesive remains strong after several installations and removals, leaving no residue on either my phone cases or the rings themselves.

Pros:

• Ultra-thin and discreet design
• Strong magnetic connection (particularly with MagSafe devices)
• Works reliably with both MagSafe and Qi chargers
• Easy installation and removal
• Affordable price for a two-pack
• Leaves no adhesive residue.

Cons:

• Magnetic strength slightly reduced with thicker cases.
• Not as strong of a magnetic hold on Android devices compared to iPhones with MagSafe.

Overall, the BASEUS Halo Series Magnetic Metal Rings (PCCH000001) are an excellent accessory for anyone looking to enhance their wireless charging experience. The combination of reliable performance, ease of use, and a low-profile design makes them a worthy investment. While the magnetic strength on Android devices might not be as strong as that with MagSafe devices, the functionality and ease of use make up for it. I highly recommend these rings for improving wireless charging on both iPhones and Android smartphones.
