hey guys this is Austin welcome to my favorite tech under $200 kicking things off we have the sony MDR 450 headphones pop open the box and you'll see they're actually pretty good looking I'm usually not a huge fan of on ear headphones but the 450s are comfortable even for longer periods the giant extra bass on the box might give you a hint to how these sounds but for the price of impressed they really shine we listening to bass heavy music like rap with a serious punch in the low end they do overpower the mids a bit but they're absolutely fine for normal use the cups rotate to make travel easier and there's a built-in mic and controls for taking calls on both iPhone and Android for less than $50 the MDR 450s are pretty awesome next up we have the new view master virtual reality viewer and big thanks to Mattel for making this video possible pair this with an iOS or Android smartphone and you'll have a serious VR headset it works with Google cardboard but it's a lot nicer with the classic view master look in the box that comes with a starter pack but you can expand it with separate packs like National Geographic Wildlife these are a are discs which you can look at to check out the experience just download the viewmaster app for your pack slot your phone into the mount and you're good to go it's a pretty awesome experience you can explore the wild lands of Africa or my personal favorite is the space pack even if you've used other VR headsets the V master is solid if you've never tried virtual reality it is straight-up awesome something I use almost everyday is the Samsung t1 portable SSD this little guy is absolutely tiny and it's great for moving around files quickly it's based on USB 3.0 and with read and write speeds of over 400 megabytes per second it's perfect for giant file transfers I keep my Steam library on it to easily move between computers as well as editing 4k video on it for less than $150 this is probably the most useful thing on this list continuing on the storage train we have the SanDisk Ultra flash drive this is also USB 3.0 and even smaller than the t1 but it has a trick up its sleeve it also features a micro USB port you can plug one end into your computer to dump incredibly important files and then plug it into an Android phone where it should work just fine it's simple but for less than 15 dollars it can really come in handy next we have the Asus Chromebook C 201 I recently did a more in-depth video on this but for less than two hundred dollars it's hard to argue with an actual laptop it has an eleven point six inch screen which is totally usable a nice then design the basics are all here the keyboard is properly sized and easy to type on and the tri pad could embarrass a lot of Windows laptops it's running Chrome OS which while not as full featured as Windows makes a lot of sense for a laptop like this especially if you already use web apps like Gmail and Google Docs while it might not be super cool the new 7-inch Amazon fire tablet is impressive for another reason price at $50 you shouldn't expect much but this really isn't bad it has a decent 7 inch screen and average build quality but seriously this is $50 it runs Amazon's fire OS which is vaguely based on Android there's tons of Amazon stuff pre-installed but the app store has a decent selection as well you're missing Google Apps but the browser works fine for things like YouTube and it even has a pair of cameras you might not be able to take the greatest selfies in the world but did I mention this is a $50 tablet you'll have to deal with sponsored wallpapers which is probably a big reason why Amazon was able to build a usable tablet for so cheap but even if you only use it as a Kindle it will be worth the price so what's your favorite piece of tech on this list let me know in the comments below and I will catch you in the next one
