If you have ever untangled a nest of Lightning and USB-C cables just to charge your phone before bed, a wireless charging station is the simplest upgrade you will make this year. We make six of them — each tuned for a different nightstand, a different person, a different kind of evening. I have had most of them on my own surfaces at one point or another, because that is the rule I set when we opened our factory in Shenzhen: I test every unit myself before it ships, and I live with the ones we keep.
I came to this as a programmer, not a retail buyer — ten years of writing code, fifteen years since I graduated, and a stubborn preference for things that quietly do their job. Six models sounds like a lot until you realize the differences are small and specific, and once you match the model to your nightstand, the choice becomes obvious. Here is how they stack up, in plain terms, the way I would explain it to a friend.
What every model in the lineup does
Before the differences, the shared basics — because all six do these, and they are the parts people actually use every night:
- A 15W MagSafe-compatible phone pad that works through cases up to 5 mm.
- A 3W AirPods / earbuds pad.
- A 2.5W Apple Watch puck, with fast-charge on compatible models.
- A USB-A or USB-C passthrough for a fourth device, if you ever need it.
So whatever you pick, you are getting phone, watch, and earbuds handled in one spot, plus a spare port for something unexpected. The real question is what each model adds on top of that baseline — and that is where the six start to feel different.
How the six models differ
- X18 — $49. 25W total with a dual-coil design that charges in both portrait and landscape. Built for iPhone Pro Max power users who want a steady phone charge while on a FaceTime call. This is the one I keep on my main desk.
- X16 — $49. 25W with a built-in Bluetooth speaker, for people who want music and charging from a single object. The surprise hit for anyone who listens while they wind down.
- X13 Mushroom Lamp Pro — $49. An adjustable warm/cool lamp with five color finishes. Bedside reading and ambiance in one. The brighter, tilting lamp of the two mushroom models.
- X10 — $49. A 3-in-1 foldable built for travel, in five colors. Folds flat into a 1.5 cm laptop sleeve pocket.
- X6 Mushroom Lamp 4-in-1 — $49. A bedside lamp and charger in five finishes. The gentler, fixed glow of the two lamps.
- X9 Mini — $49. A compact 3-in-1 in six colors, the smallest footprint of the lineup. Built for tight nightstands and dorms.
You will notice every model is the same price. I did that on purpose — I did not want the decision to come down to a budget math problem. Pick the shape and the features that fit your room, not the one that happens to be ten dollars cheaper this week. The sameness frees you to choose by how you actually live.
How I settled on six
People ask why six and not two. The honest answer is that one nightstand is not like another: my desk wants the X18's steady dual-coil charge on long video calls, my bedroom wants the X13's tiltable glow, my carry-on wants the X10's flat fold. Building six let me tune each to a real surface in my own life instead of forcing one gadget to be mediocre everywhere. If you only charge a phone, a basic pad is fine — but most people have quietly collected a watch and earbuds too, and that is when a station becomes the obvious tool.
Our picks by scenario
Want the fastest wireless top-up? The X18's dual-coil keeps a steady 15W to the phone whether it is standing up or lying sideways — genuinely handy for a FaceTime call while charging, and the reason it lives on my desk rather than my nightstand. I have taken calls on it for months and never watched the battery dip the way it used to on a single-coil pad.
Need bedside ambiance? The X13 Pro and the X6 both double as warm dimmable lamps. The X13 is brighter and tilts; the X6 is a softer, fixed glow. I keep an X13 in the bedroom and an X6 in my daughter's room, and the two cover every late-night scenario from reading to "just need to see the floor." They charge the same, so this is purely a light decision.
Travel a lot? The X10 folds flat and slips into a 1.5 cm laptop sleeve pocket. The X9 Mini is even smaller if you only need phone and watch on the road — the one I toss in a carry-on without a second thought. I have lost count of the hotel nightstands that looked exactly like home within ten seconds of unpacking one of these.
Two questions people actually ask
Will it charge through a PopSocket or MagSafe wallet? Yes, if your case is under 5 mm and has no metal plate. MagSafe wallets are fine; metal card holders are not, and they will stop the charge from landing. This came up constantly in our testing, so I am glad the answer is mostly yes.
Do I need to buy a separate power brick? No — a 20W USB-C PD brick is included with every model. Open the box, plug it in, done. I insisted on this because nothing kills the joy of a new gadget faster than a "battery not included" moment on night one.
You can see the whole range in our wireless chargers collection, or start with the X18 product page if the dual-coil desk charger is your kind of thing. The X10 is the one to grab if travel is the priority, and the X16 is worth a look if you want sound with your charge.
Six models, one job each. Match the model to your nightstand and the choice stops being a choice — it just becomes the obvious thing to put there, the way a good lamp or a good mug eventually does.
I have been writing code for ten years and building these for fewer, but the lesson carries straight over: the best tool is the one you stop noticing. Charge your phone, watch, and earbuds tonight the way you always have, then try one of these for a week and notice what you forgot to be annoyed about. That small, quiet silence at the end of the day is the whole point of the lineup.
