LISEN has been one of my favorite recent brands that I’ve been watching. The company’s new 3-in-1 charger is a really nice addition to its lineup. One of the things I love most about it is the foldable design, which is somewhat unique for most MagSafe charging setups. It can charge your iPhone, AirPods, and Apple Watch, and also includes Qi2 support. I have a new office setup, this is the one I am using next to my laptop.

What’s in the box
It always drives me a bit crazy when manufacturers release these high-speed chargers, but don’t include the power brick you actually need to use them. Thankfully, LISEN didn’t cheap out here with their new 3-in-1 charger.
Inside the box, you get the foldable 3-in-1 charging station, a USB-C to USB-C cable, and a 30-watt USB-C power adapter. The Apple Watch charger can be stored on the underside when you aren’t using it. I love that they included the 30-watt brick because that is the minimum requirement to get the full 15-watt fast charging speeds for Qi2. If they had left it out, you would be stuck hunting for a spare MacBook charger or buying another accessory just to make this one work. Out of the box, it has everything you need to get set up on your nightstand or desk.
Why I like the foldable design
The best thing about the LISEN 3-in-1 is its highly functional form factor. Because it folds down into a cube that’s pretty compact, it doesn’t take up much room in my bag, but it also gives you plenty of options on how I use it. It’s small enough to travel with, but sturdy enough to be your desk charger
I mostly use it unfolded as a stand so I can use StandBy mode at my desk, but I love that it can also lay completely flat as well. It is also not overly tall, so it doesn’t feel precarious on a small hotel nightstand.
Another nice touch is the additional USB-C output on the side. It is a small detail overall, but it means I can plug in my Kindle Paperwhite to charge without needing to find another wall outlet. It keeps the entire setup running off a single power cable.
Wrap up on LISEN 3-in-1
There are plenty of 3-in-1 chargers on the market right now. You have options from a ton of brands that are all well done. This new option from LISEN stands out to me because it strikes the perfect balance of price and performance without compromising on the power brick.
It covers all the bases for a solid travel charger:
- Qi2 Support: You get the full 15-watt wireless charging speed for your iPhone. Qi2.2 would be my only request here
- Complete Package: It includes the 30-watt adapter, so you don’t need to buy anything else.
- Stable Design: The weighted base keeps it from sliding around your desk.
- Compact: It folds down small enough to toss in any bag. The Apple Watch charger also stays hidden unless you need it.
You can buy it from Amazon or directly from LISEN
