Excellent charging dock, quality speaker

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This charging dock is excellent, and I love that it allows for use in both portrait and landscape orientations. In addition, the Bluetooth speaker has ample oomph for its relatively small size! The only missing link here is a smarter way of connecting and disconnecting that Bluetooth: there is a button on the back to turn it off and on, which works fine, but if you grab your phone off the dock without hitting the button, all your phone alerts will go off through the speaker even if you’re in another room entirely. It would be great if this was modified so there was some pressure sensor on the dock to automatically connect and disconnect Bluetooth. As it is now, the need for manual intervention makes the speaker more of a novelty than a useful integration. Still, the build quality is good, it works as advertised, and the included cord is long enough for practical use!
Finally, it would also be nice if the included power brick had the 90° swivel plug that is on several Belkin power adapters. I had to rearrange my power strip a bit to get this plugged in.

Great wireless charger - mediocre speaker

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The concept of a wireless charge stand plus speaker is a very good idea. The Boost Charge wireless charging stand plus speaker hits some high notes and some low notes.
First, let's start with the wireless charging stand: Its perfect. It's at the right angle, displays the phone well, you can go vertical or horizontal, and charges the phone fast. For the price alone, it's a great charger.
Let's talk about the speaker: It feels like it was added as an afterthought, as a way to differentiate from other wireless chargers on the market. It pairs via bluetooth which was very simple and easy to do, and plays whatever sound you want via bluetooth. Very simple and easy. I just wish the speaker was a bit upgraded. It has a very tinny sound to it where you primarily hear the treble but the bass is lacking depth. I wasn't expecting a lot with the speaker and I didn't really get a lot either.
Overall I give this a 4 out of 5 stars because it's comparable to other fast wireless charging docks on the market, the speaker addition is perfect for somebody that is working at a desk with minimal space, and I have to believe most people will recognize that they weren't getting a high end speaker as part of the equation.

Great speaker/charger for home office or dorm room
on August 9, 2020

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently had the opportunity to review the Belkin Wireless Charging Stand 10W + speaker. This seemed like a novel product that could find a place in a home office, dorm room, bedroom, kitchen or even for travel.
I was quite pleased with the simplicity and ease of setup of the speaker/charger. Inside the box you find the speaker/charger, power supply, and instruction sheet. Setup was quite simple. Plug the power supply into the back of the unit of the unit and into the wall outlet, open bluetooth settings on your smartphone, press the button on the back of the unit for 3 seconds and confirm pairing on your smartphone.
At this point you are free to set your phone on the charger in the vertical or horizontal orientation and charging will commence (important to center phone on charging pad). The speaker can then be used for playing music or watching a video. It can also be used as a speaker or video phone - press the button on the back to answer, press again to hang up.
Audio from the speaker is of good quality for a single speaker and charging performance is to expectations for a fast charging compatible smartphone with 10W charging pad. Remember that if you are playing music while charging that the charging rate may be a bit slower. When using as a speaker pressing the button on the back once will initiate Bluetooth connection and pressing again will disconnect. A little inconvenient but is consistent in my experience for connecting to a Bluetooth speaker.
Overall a solid product for charging and entertainment with added speaker phone support.

Great Little Speaker
on August 10, 2020
Posted by: blfinche
from Atlanta, GA
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product as a review sample from Belkin. I was very impressed with the quality of the speaker. The sound was loud and clear. I listened to a variety of books, music, and videos and all were loud and clear. I prefer the sound over the speaker to that of the phone (iPhone 11 Pro). The speaker will hold my phone vertical and horizontal while charging.
I also tested the charging of my phone and it does a respectable job, but it's not the fastest. I measured .86 amps charging rate vs. 1.5 amps on my other wireless charge. The other will charge the phone much faster. This isn't a deal breaker for me, since I mainly wireless charger when I'm sitting at my desk working.
The speaker comes with a charging brick (~1.5"x2"x3") that has a cord with a barrel plug. I'm not the biggest fan of this, which is the only reason that I knocked off a star. I would have preferred a USB C charge cable, so I wouldn't have to unplug the speaker to move it around. I would also like to see a rechargeable battery in the speaker.
I really like the speaker and would recommend it to my friends.

Excellent Charger and Bluetooth Speaker
on August 12, 2020
Posted by: EdL0352
from Salt Lake City, UT
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This wireless charger is ideal for anyone with a Qi enabled device. The beauty behind this charger, is that I can wirelessly charge my iPhone 11 Pro Max in landscape or portrait mode. The attached bluetooth speaker allows me to play my music or take calls while simultaneously charging. Also, during those times I chose to watch a video on my phone, I can watch in landscape mode with sound clarity from the charger's speaker while conveniently and quickly charging. The bluetooth pairing was simple and easy. For the sake of convenience, I like to have this charger on my desk. It gives me a better experience with my phone.

Handy little devices for my iPhone
on August 12, 2020

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using this wireless charging stand/speaker for a little bit and and I’m pretty happy with it. First off, I think the wireless charging is great. I don’t have to plug my phone in, and also I’m not wearing out the power port on the bottom of my phone. It’s nice that I can rotate the phone horizontally and watch a video and charge my phone at the same time. The built in microphone seems to work great for work conference calls and I’ve even watched a zoom meeting and it was very handy. The speaker has plenty of volume, although I wouldn’t expect a great deal of bass or high end audio. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not terrible at all, you just can’t expect much from a small speaker. The Bluetooth pairing is extremely easy and fast. Belkin did a good job with the included instructions, easy to understand and right to the point. Overall I’m happy with the product and know I’ll be using this daily for a long time. Thanks Belkin!

Great addition to your desk - convenient charging!

from Providence RI
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product is perfect for your office. The setup is well thought out, and having my phone charging while still being able to see the screen has been a huge benefit that I find myself using this device daily. The speaker is perfect to listening to music while working, but don't expect to be blown away by the volume or quality of the speaker. the phone holder does have a nice rubber grip at the bottom that holds my phone effortlessly, while still allowing me to pick it up without any resistance. Overall, very satisfied adding this to my desk and enjoying having a charged phone throughout the day.

Great multi use wireless charger/speaker

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a pretty nice little wireless charger with a pretty decent speaker. I like the convenience of being able to look at my phone in landscape or portrait mode by the brilliant, simple, and convenient design that allows me to rotate my phone 90°. I have used the Belkin Boost wireless charger for a while now, so this added extra functionality that I did not know I was missing and really appreciate. I think it is a perfect charger for my desk and I’m no longer trying to angle my iPhone when watching videos.
