Oyama Apple Lightning Portable Charger Review

My Apple USB-A lightning charger works as it was designed. It would be great if it was also made in multiple colors such as the standard black color for technology peripherals, or the sky blue color of my iPhone XR.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Full disclosure: I was sent this product to review. This is a great cable. The lightning cables have been around for years now so there isn't really anything new or innovative that makes this product stand out. But it is well made and feels durable. It's a great length and it works as you would expect it to. One thing that does impress me is that the plastic end with the lightning adapter is identical to the end of an official Apple cable. I've had a few third party lightning cables over the years and every one of them had a longer and usually fatter lightning adapter end. Sometimes an Apple cable would fit through the hole in a case to charge my phone but a third party cable wouldn't. In this case, Belkin's cable is just as capable as an original lightning cable. This is the first time I can remember thinking that anyone has made a cable as good as the one provided with the iPhone.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Full disclosure: I was sent this product to review it. Honestly, it works great for its intended purpose. I was able to charge my phone and connect Lightning headphones at the same time. I didn't notice any difference in sound quality between plugging the headphones into this product or plugging them straight into my iPhone. They also work perfectly with the 3.5 mm to Lightning adapter provided by Apple with my phone. The RockStar feels sturdy and uses Apple's signature look well. If it weren't for the Belkin logo on the Lightning plug, this could easily have been mistaken for something made by Apple. It also couldn't be simpler to use. Plug it into the iPhone and plug your headphones and power cord into either available port. There are only two things I could think of to make this product better. First would have been to have one port be a 3.5 mm jack. I only have the one pair of lightning headphones Apple provided and the adapter. I have a pile of old headphones though. My second thought would have been, if you have two Lightning ports on the adapter, let it be used to plug in two sets of headphones to act as a splitter. This may be a limitation set by Apple and not the product itself, but it would add a level of use to the RockStar. If you use Lightning headphones or 3.5 mm headphones with a Lightning adapter, this is a great product to be able to listen to music while you charge your phone. Personally, I use Bluetooth about 99.9% of the time, but I'm glad I have this product for those times I can't.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This cord works just as well as an apple lightning cable and charges my phone just as quickly. It’s ten feet long, which is far more convenient than the much shorter cables I’ve been using up until now, and — even better — the braided material prevents it from fraying as easily as an apple cord.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Charger has become my main charger for most days. I use it for both Apple and other products, and I have found that it really works well with everything. I feel like this charger would meet the needs of almost anyone

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Belkin International - BOOST↑CHARGE™ Lightning to USB-A Cable is a dependable choice for a charger. I use the charger daily and it is well made and reliable. This charger has a heavy duty cable and the connector are well made too.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Perfectly fine lightning charger with moderately useful magnet to keep it tidy.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love this charger. It is definitely a game changer. It is lightning fast compared to others. In less than 5 minutes my phone was up 10%. It's perfect for emergencies.

A perfect external SSD that is portable, beautifully designed, and lightning fast!

Using the 6 foot cable to power my lightning charger on my nightstand. Excellent cable.
