with 2019 right around the corner I thought it would make a list of some of my favorite products that I've reviewed in 2018 these are the products that I feel you can't go wrong within their respective categories and the products I have no problem recommending on a regular basis now just adds up there's going to be a lot of headphones on this list cuz the headphone market is really heating up and I'm really excited to see where it goes in 2019 but don't worry other things like speakers drones and accessories also made their way onto this list so first up I think it's pretty obvious if you watch my videos on a regular basis but my number one most favorite product of 2018 period or the Sony 1000 XM threes even though I didn't expect to get them so soon I'm really glad we did I feel the 1000 X and 3s are currently the best ANC headphones on the market right now they managed to block out the most amount of noise and they do so with very little cabin pressure their build quality and fit has also been vastly improved from the predecessors thanks to their much larger and spacious ear cups and new low-profile design don't bring a lot of features like Google assist and integration have an ambient aware mode which is very useful when you're walking around with the city or if you work in an office and they also have cook attention which is very useful for short conversations these headphones also have a very long battery life even with ANC turned on and they're fast charging is great for commuters as well but most importantly these headphones sound very good the bass is deep in punching they have very well-defined mids and the highs never crash right now these are the headphones to beat in 2019 now as a reminder if you want to pick any of the products up and mentioned on this list I'll have links or description below and if you use the links it really helps up the channel but I know dropping $350 on a pair of headphones isn't an option for everyone which brings us to the Sony watch 700 n even though they have a retail price of $200 they typically go on sale for about 150 and occasionally go on sale for even 50% off and even though their build quality isn't amazing they are perhaps the most featured pack sub 200 all the headphones out there just like the 1000 X and threes they have Google assistant integration they have an adjustable EQ and they have an extremely long back life of 35 hours now even though these headphones have active noise cancellation don't expect them to block out as much noise as the 1000s and threes but thanks to very very comfortable and spacious ear cups and a and C I think the watch a 700 and are a great pair of headphones for high school and college students on a tighter budget looking for headphones to wear while they study but for those of you looking for a pair of headphones to have lots of fun with there's the Skullcandy question 360 now just like hell the sony 1000 XM threes or currently the best anc headphones out there these are the best base set headphones on the market right now the based on these headphones is honestly like nothing I've ever heard before and they make the bass on the sony xba-1 look like a joke but I'm telling you any time I wear these headphones I can't help crack smile now yeah I know $300 does seem like a lot for a pair of basehead headphones but Skullcandy makes up for it with their build quality there's a lot of metal on these headphones whatever isn't metal is softest material and the faux leather feels pretty good as well and even if you use these headphones with their base feature turned off there are a good-looking pair of headphones period with a decent battery life of twenty nine hours and the last headphones on this list or the audio technica ath and 50x speed team just like how those sony's are great for commuters and how the skull candies are great for people looking to have fun these are great for creators looking for a pair of headphones they can use after the done editing their videos or for people who just prefer under to sound signature these headphones have all the great characteristics found on their predecessors which have a cult following and even when you go wireless they still perform pretty well but before we wrap up with headphones on this list I do want to give an honorable mention to the windows surface at phones even though they have great styling and build quality I really like their dials and they also have lots of features like a and C and ambient mode and voice assistant integration I still think they have lots of improving to do if they want to catch up with the Sony 1000x and threes but I really hope we see a follow up to these in 2019 but now is gone into my favorite speakers of 2018 I'm gonna be honest the only reason I first reviewed the JBL clip 3 was because my pre-order for my JBL extreme 2 was late and I really needed to put out content but after you in the clip three I just really liked it a lot now no it doesn't sound as good as the bow sound like micro but for a sixty dollar speaker the clip three performs very well besides I don't use the clip three to listen to music I use it as my dedicated podcast machine whenever I'm working around the house or when I'm in the shower and since it has a much longer real-world battery life than the sound like micro I don't have to charge it nearly as frequent but if you're looking for a large portable speaker then you can't go wrong with the JBL extreme - what really impresses me about this speaker compared to all of the other speakers I've compared their speaker with is the amount of hardware this speaker packs in such a small package not a lot of other speakers out there have a dual transducer dual tweeter and dual passive radiators setup and even though the LG pk7 does have a similar setup to the extreme - it doesn't sound or perform nearly as good so that's why the extreme to you is one of my most recommended portable speakers of 2018 it sounds great JBL connect plus makes it super easy to pair with other JBL speakers if you plan on getting more in the future and the new bottle opener built into the carrying strap has proven to be more useful than I thought if you routinely take the speaker to your friends house whenever there was a get-together but if you're looking for a great at-home speaker then that's where the new Marshall Stanmore 2 comes in the Stanmore 2 gives you JBL boombox levels of wall shaking bass at a lower cost and in a much smaller package it's just a little bigger than in the extreme tube I just mentioned and I also feel this as a great at-home speaker because I'm a really big fan of them Marshall classic design so I think the speaker will look great in almost any living room now when it comes to drones DJI in particular has had a very busy year with the release of their pneumatic air Mavic 2 pro and zoom ronin s Osmo pocket and ozma mobile - there's a lot to choose from but I do think the DJI maverick era is the most impressive and important product DJI announced this year the Medicare not only is a great foldable drone period it brings uncompromised aerial cinematography to the masses at a natural scary price compared to the magic and finally the last thing I want to talk about on this list is Apple's new 18 watt charger even though I think Apple should have included this charger with their new iPhones and I really do think it would really help with their selves if you do get a new iPhone or have an iPhone that supports fast charging you got to do something about Apple's outdated and slow 5 watt charger and there you have it there are some of my favorite products I've had the pleasure of using this 2018 and I feel you can't go wrong with any of them if you choose to pick them up but I'm really excited to see what 2019 brings and I can't wait to see how headphones evolve this coming year if you made it this far I guess you enjoyed the
