You would normally associate the Noise brand with TWS and smartwatches, but did you know that the company is also into making charging solutions for your smart devices? Charging solutions such as chargers, cables, and powerbanks. Just recently, I was reached out to by the folks at Noise. I honestly thought it must be about some new TWS or headphones, but to my surprise, it was about the Noise MagSafe Qi2 Powerbank. And then, I thought, why not test it out, as I have been looking to get a MagSafe powerbank for both my iPhone and Pixel anyway.
The Noise Qi2 MagSafe Powerbank is as sleek as its packaging. Inside the box, there’s the powerbank, along with a guide, some stickers and a sticky magnetic ring. In case you don’t have an iPhone or a Pixel that has built-in magnets at the back, you can actually turn your non-MagSafe phone into a MagSafe one with the included magnetic ring.

As for the powerbank itself, gone are the days when powerbanks used to feel like bricks. And no, Noise isn’t the first company to make a MagSafe powerbank that’s sleek. Other companies, such as Ambrane and Daily Objects, already offer their solutions. But since I am using this one for the first time, it left a solid first impression on me, design-wise. The powerbank, despite having a 10,000 mAh capacity, is relatively slim and compact, not very bulky. At the same time, the design is very minimal, with a metallic finish, Noise branding and a kickstand at the back. On the front, there’s a soft rubber finish with Qi2 branding. There’s an LED battery indicator on one side and a button on the other side, pressing which you can check how much battery is left in the powerbank.
Now, in terms of how well it works, quite well, actually. I use two phones: an iPhone 17 Pro Max and a Pixel 10 Pro Fold, both of which support magnetic wireless charging, or the term Apple made famous, MagSafe charging. While I don’t really have both my phones with fully drained batteries, the Noise MagSafe powerbank has managed to serve me quite well on my bedside. Earlier, I used to have a wired charger for my daily need to charge my phones overnight. Nowadays, the wireless charger does the job for me, so that way I have been able to get rid of the wires.
Also, because I use the iPhone as my primary device, it is the one that charges overnight, every day. While the Pixel 10 Pro Fold is the one I charge every two days. Doing the maths, I have had the Noise Qi2 MagSafe Powerbank for about two weeks now, and since then, I have only charged it four times. During this time, I have had my phones topped up every night and left overnight before taking them out in the morning.
The Noise Qi2 MagSafe Powerbank itself takes around 3.5 hours to fully charge. To do that, for all four times I charged it to full (apart from the one time I was home on the weekend and noted its time to charge fully), I have always put it on charge before leaving for work, and when I am back in the evening, it is always good to go.
Of course, the powerbank also supports 22.5 W wired charging, but that’s something I haven’t tested for myself. Two reasons: first, both of my phones support MagSafe charging, so I never really felt the need. And since I charge my phones overnight, there’s no urgency. Second, the powerbank doesn’t have a built-in retractable wire, which I think should have been there to make the whole package more enticing. So, taking out a Type-C to Type-C wire, plugging it into the powerbank and then charging my phone? No, thanks. I am better off doing this wirelessly.
Finally, the kickstand is a nice touch. It’s the reason I can prop my phones magnetically to the powerbank, and the iPhone, in fact, goes into Standby Mode, which basically turns the display into a smart display of sorts. Of course, you can also use it to prop your phone up for watching videos as well.
The Noise Qi2 MagSafe Powerbank retails for Rs 2,499 and is currently available for purchase via Noise’s official website and other online retailers. There are three colours on offer, and I reviewed the Silver finish, which I think looks the best of the three. The other two are nice as well.
If you want a no-nonsense Qi2 MagSafe powerbank for your phone, this is a pretty good option. For the asking price, there are a bunch of features you are getting here, including wireless charging, wired charging and passthrough charging. Additionally, the LED indicator to check the battery level is also good to have.
Of course, a built-in retractable wire would have sealed the deal here. See, if you don’t have magnets on your phone’s back but your phone still supports wireless charging, you do get the sticky magnetic ring. But for phones that don’t support wireless charging, and you are still willing to put in the extra cash to get this sleek 10,000 mAh powerbank, you’ll have to buy the cable separately if you don’t have a spare lying around at home. Noise also sells the powerbank with a bundled Type-C cable, but that combo costs Rs 2,799, so Rs 300 more than the usual asking price.
Overall, the Noise Qi2 MagSafe is a decent powerbank to buy. It looks good, has a large battery capacity, and is sleek at the same time.
