Customer Ratings & Reviews

I purchased one of these in store and it setup fine, although had an obnoxious buzzing noise. I thought it was a defective unit, so I returned it in store for another dock (same model), which also had the buzzing noise. Wondering if it was a bad batch, I purchased a third dock (same model) off Amazon, and that one ALSO has the obnoxious buzzing/hissing noise. The noise is constant, and audible over my office's white noise. I ensured that my computer software (MacBook Pro Intel) was updated to latest and that I properly installed the driver. All the functionality of the dock works great, except that annoying buzzing noise. Unfortunately I think I need to find an alternative dock.

The dock I picked up technically worked and has a good amount of features. Dock was also reasonably priced. However, it made a high pitched screeching/whining noise when powered on. This coil whine would get louder any time I moved my mouse. For this reason alone I returned the unit. If you can grab one that doesn’t have coil whine, you should be good to go.

Overall pretty good. I like how it’s able to stand on its side and it really expands the amount of ports on my MacBook. You have to power it though, but you can’t use it for direct powered connections, such as streaming cameras which is a little frustrating.

Great data hub I’m able to plug in all my peripheral equipment

Works great! I am able to use dual monitors with my laptop

I had some problems with my previous docking stations. This one was easy to work with, GREAT number of ports, and the good upright stature makes it easy to connect all of my devices and keep the cords out of the way. Wonderful product, I highly recommend it.

The j5create docking station delivers exactly what I need for a clean and efficient workspace. Its sleek design fits right into my setup, and the dual 4K monitor support works flawlessly. It offers plenty of connectivity options without adding clutter or noise — it runs silently, which I really appreciate. If you’re looking to expand your desktop without compromising on aesthetics or performance, this dock is a solid choice.

It seems as though its a unique driver that will make your computer assume you are using every port even when they are not in use. It is useful for my macbook but for my windows computer peripherals it was not strong enough.

I bought this product instead of the HP docking station because it appeared to offer more features (SD card reader, iPhone charging) in addition to charging my laptop and being able to display to two monitors in addition to the laptop screen. This has been a disappointment. First, I had to buy the extra power cable for this. I bought a power cable with the exact specs on the packaging of this item (PD 3.1 140W Power In). With the highest rated power cord, it still only provides passthrough power, it will NOT charge your laptop. I have now learned the expensive way what "passthrough" power means. The result is that, if I leave the laptop plugged into the docking station using just the docking station power, my laptop leaks a little power overtime. If I start with a full charge in the morning, work all day, and don't shut it down overnight, the laptop will be dead by the morning. This is extremely frustrating. Do not buy this if you expect it to be able to charge your laptop. You will still need to simultaneously plug in your laptop using its own power cord and plug into the hub if you need to charge your laptop while working.

First, it buzzes. I dont know why but this thing sounds like it’s in pain. Second, the HDMI port requires a special deiver to install. Your Mac will see it as screen mirroring not another monitor. Good lock watchung content on a larger external monitor - it trips the protection and you get a black screen.

A great Addition to allow for easy expansion. Would very much recommend.

Nice sleek and has a bunch of outlets for all your needs.I’ve been looking for a dock for a while and glad I gave this a try

It does what it’s supposed to do, but I found it awkward and a bit limiting because of its configuration. I’m sure it could work for others, but didn’t work for me so I traded it in for a product made by Belkin.

Lightweight portable enought to fit in your backpack. Can handle 2 monitors no problem. U sed for a Dell precision laptop for thunderbolt connection. Note power supply needs to have a thunderbolt connection and is usually the one supplied with your Dell

I love this little thing but the only thing that stinks is you have to download a software for the computer in order for this to work. You have to lookup the product on their site and download the software for every computer you use it with. But once it's downloaded and done, it's nice.

One HDMI port not working, I searched for an answer online. The only thing I could find was a thread about how this docking station needs more power? But an external power supply is not included with the docking station. The Docking makes a buzzing noise when under a load.

I'm giving this a 3 star because I think it may have something to do with my Mac Air more than the product. It was sold to me as an option to use for my Mac Air and 2 additonal monitor setup. It "works" in the sense that both displays come up and if I do certain things on the 2nd monitor its ok but then it freezes that monitor. Don't know if its the docking station software or what. Just kinda disappointed.

I just picked up the j5create USB-C Dual 4K HDMI Docking Station with 15W Wireless Charging in Space Grey, and it’s been a game changer for my setup. With two 4K HDMI outputs, I’m able to run dual displays without lag or loss in clarity—images and video are crisp. The USB-C passthrough keeps my laptop powered with no fuss. The wireless charging pad is a nice bonus—it tops off my phone while I work so I’m not scrambling for cords. The dock is solid, well-built, and the color matches my other gear. If you want a clean, multi-monitor, clutter-free workstation, this dock delivers.

Horrendous product. They don’t include a power adapter after paying a whopping 129$. It HAS to be their branded one to actually work consistently. Another 69$. To top that, you need a split mode, usb c mode that MAC Os comes with standard. Windows do not. So you can only use one HDMI port on windows with a VAST majority of windows systems. Horrible product. Not worth the hassle. The “stand” is cheap and doesn’t even lock in. Just wobbles loose.

This product is great if you are needing to connect multiple TV screens. It also has additional USB-A and USB-C connections which come in handy. It works with both MAC and Windows. I'm using this docking station to connect two HDMI Monitors and for the additional USB connections.
