hey guys this is Austin you've probably seen a lot of tech under videos so all the tech I'm going to take a look at five items in total cost less than $30 the twist is I have no idea if any of it is remotely good this is the ZTE Maven - how much is this $30 exactly okay all right this guy is rocking Android marshmallow 6.0 point one which is only like two years old so not that that habit gets a gigs of storage a 5 inch touchscreen which actually looks like a pretty decent size for 30 bucks you know it always surprises me how much you can get for so cheap especially when it comes to smartphones so last year I spent a little while with a $20 mark phone and while it probably was not as good at this it was kind of usable it's definitely plasticy although to be fair doesn't have the battery yet so it might help a little bit the first thing that jumps out to me is that the screen actually is pretty decent so yes it's definitely lower resolution but it gets pretty bright and that same thing goes with a build quality it's not perfect it definitely is very plasticky but it feels reasonably certain ok yeah that's a lot of bloatware get shot savage Kenny oh wait no you know we got switch over to fun mode oh I totally worked so I actually take the picture when you smiled that's looks kind of cool all right I'll give that okay there's nothing fiction to me okay all right so we're recording this is the 720p video can your looking not as savage as usual I'm done so is the Maven to worth the 30 bucks yeah my saw a $30 smartphone I had pretty low expectations well you consider that this is one twentieth the price of a flagship and it does basically everything maybe it's not quite as fast or not quite as sexy but at the end of the day it's hard to argue with a smart phone at this price all right so that is she wasn't bad what do we have for item number two the Roku Express so for reference this is about five dollars cheaper than a chromecast so we have the Express itself which kind of like an IR receiver we also have a USB wall adapter some batteries and what you don't get with a chromecast is an actual remote this is actually a lot of stuff for $30 I will say that navigating through the interface actually is reasonably snappy it's a little bit of a different thing than a chromecast because that really does rely on you casting things from like a phone or a computer or something whereas this is more meant to be used with the remote and as a proper streaming box this totally works so there's really not that much exciting about the Roku Express for 30 bucks you are getting a pretty solid standalone experience homeboy the mini wired controller for Xbox one and Windows to be there I have not used a third-party controller for a console since like the PlayStation 2 days but this just looks really cheap oh boy that's some shiny plastic oh it's a wire you can killer okay I guess that makes sense pointing the mini controller side by side with the full-sized one it actually isn't a huge difference in size it's a little bit smaller but what really jumps out to me is that this doesn't feel that bad so the glossy plastic definitely looks super cheap but having the textured finish on the back actually feels pretty nice more importantly it feels like you solid controller so it's really no flex in it they just a little bit if I really torque it adds a lot a lot of way the controller so feels pretty good it definitely is a little different from the normal Xbox one controller and for $20 less I don't know if the difference is really going to be worth it maybe if you're just playing on PC you don't care about a wireless option it's fine you even do have the impulse triggers and you love the death that's more important you have the death the Corsair Qatar fps and mobile gaming mouse and has a $30 actually did a good job of getting everything exactly on point so we have four programmable buttons and we also have on the slide dpi tuning that sounds exciting for $30 Oh actually isn't too bad that's going to be pretty solid for a gaming mouse she feels pretty good so the entire thing is coated in a sort of soft touch rubber oh yeah that actually feels pretty good it's a little bit on the smaller side though what really jumps out to me is that this feels a lot better than most sort of cheap low-end mites the tracking is nice and responsive and I think it might be a little bit on the smaller side for some people but more importantly it feels really nice so far I actually think we've been doing pretty good but it's time to see what the final item is mr. Pulido Cinderella girl ha ha very funny lightning earpods oh cool something I actually wanted to these sony MDR VX 110 a powerful high quality sound how much were these fourteen alright fourteen bucks it is it's been a while since I've tried cheap headphones even those were usually earbuds so Oh the folding mechanism actually doesn't feel that bad hmm I mean they're definitely cheap and plastic what for fourteen box you really should expect anything too crazy plot our super cool ZTE maven find out the greatest headphone amp but I'm curious what a bag of Doritos what why does it smell so bad okay what are these a USB cable and some really terrible headphones lately while you're crunching on the bolt is smack in the universe plug your headphones straight into the front of the bag play and rock out two songs from Marvel Studios guardians of the galaxy soundtrack there's a headphone jack on the bag okay hold on hold on so I just plug it in and just do it what did you get this bag oh the Ken and Jimmy special huh yeah all right that's actually cool um so the headphones sound good when you plug them into a bag of Doritos something I never thought I would say hey okay that looks you got a cool let me try it with some real music so are these going to match really expensive headphones absolutely not especially if you're coming from something like a headphone that's included with your phone you sound a lot nicer there's a little bit of lack of clarity especially when you get toward the base your side of things but for $14 this actually might be my favorite thing year as always I'll have links to all this stuff in the description of this video with the possible exception of the Doritos bag which I don't think cost $30 anymore but let me know in the comments which one of these pieces of tech would you guys pick up for 30 bucks let me know in the comments below and I will catch you on the next one
