you guys Johnson here today we are taking a look at some of the best home tech thus far of 2017 so first up is the Philips Sonicare FlexCare platinum connected if you shot out to Philips for not only sending this out but also in the dark days of ad pocalypse for also sponsoring this episode no yes this is a toothbrush on a tech channel that was because there is a crazy amount of tech packed inside this guy start with the fact it'll connected by a bluetooth to your smart phone so what's cool that Bluetooth connectivity the fact that it's not going to just tell you to brush your teeth for X amount of minutes there is a smart sensor built within this it's going to know how hard you brushed where you brush at the end of it when all said and done which spot to hit correctly and which ones you didn't so that combined with the fact that it is guiding you through your mouth section by section is kind of cool not going to lie there are times when you wake up in the morning your zoned out you're half asleep and maybe you brush the right side of your mouth way more than you need to and neglect that left side but would this not know more now for those who have come in more recent videos you know strokes per minute is kind of a big deal and this guy is dishing out 31,000 strokes a minute and to break that down that is 516 strokes a second and to visualize that one two three that is 1550 strokes that just happened if you combine that kind of stroke power with their adaptive clean brush hair which is soft flexible just kind of how's your teeth and you're going to have some squeaky-clean pearly white so next up is the Comal audio solo wireless bluetooth speaker and specifically I'm taking a look at the one in walnut black so if you love what and you love tech you are going to love this thing aesthetically it is beautiful and if there were one word I would use to describe this it would be classy now price-wise it is a little more than your average Bluetooth speaker but that is because it is more than your average Bluetooth speaker for starters build quality wise it is using real wood and not some cheap laminate and when I say it is more than just a Bluetooth speaker what I mean by that if the only Bluetooth connectivity there's built-in radio both FM and internet flavors Wi-Fi and then was set up to me the most is built-in spotify connect integration now specifically for me why I really like the Spotify connect feature is you're actually getting better sound quality that's because you are pulling music directly from the device as opposed to connecting through bluetooth and then to once you're set up and ready to go you can then you to stand alone without needing to use your phone it's our sound quality goes this thing packs way way more sound than you would ever expect for a box that size it is clear it is punchy there is plenty of volume on the other hand though it's not going to blow your socks off low and wide so is that something you're into you may potentially want to look elsewhere but if you're looking for something clear it's going to fill a room is unique impactful features this is your guy following that maybe one of the coolest home tech gadgets of all time especially for under 30 bucks this is the side click it specifically I'm taking a look at the one for Apple TV but if Apple is not your thing there's also one available for the fire TV and Roku so with a side click first and foremost what it's going to do essentially is house the Apple TV remote what that's going to do is that some sides at some Vulcan and turn hopefully reduce your chances of losing this thing now in my case the way I've set up is the power button is going to power on and power off the TV the plus/minus will then control volume on the sound bar the up and down arrows will control the channels on the TV the source button will control the source of the TV and then as far as a and B goes right now I have a to again power on the TV and that is really only because I don't have a secondary device but in theory you could a blu-ray player or a DVD player and then lastly I have be powering on the sound bar now for me the coolest thing about this guy aside from the price was how easy it was to set it up it seriously took less than five minutes that's because it connects through infrared as opposed to entering in stupid codes now the instance where maybe you're also using a cable box this will definitely improve things but not be the ideal solution but on the flip side if you're someone who watches TV and consumes their media through an Apple TV a Roku or a fire TV this might be just the answer you were looking for so next up is the new most smart home controller which looks like it is straight out of the future so as far as scale goes this right here is it is a super compact really sleek looking device that also comes in white what it's going to do is give you control over various tech products in your home all through a single source now as far as put this will control right now you have Apple music Google cast lifx light bulbs philips hue light bulbs rom fell and then so no speakers once you're set up and connected it is super simple to switch between which device you want to control simply swipe up or down and then icon will pop up of which device is currently being controlled in this case here was philips here you can see the light bulb icon pop up and as far as control goes I can do as simple as power to light off or on or something more complex like changing the color blue now hopping over to Apple music from our play a song simply press it volume go next song so you can see it works really well is pretty instantaneous and it's going to give you that next level control instead of having to reach out for your phone or your tablet now again the ideal location for this is going to be a wall or table or a desk not to be used free handedly but the good news is everything you need to do that it's going to come in the box now if I had any complaint it would be the fact that you do need an active Bluetooth connection to use this whether it's your phone or your tablet it will not work standalone and beyond that I would definitely love to see more apps support especially Spotify but if that's not if you use Sonos if you use alpha music if you use lifx or phillips you this is a really cool home tech device so next up this would be perfect for the best tech on our 15 if you guys are excited for a new episode of that make sure you drop a like down below this is the adven tree Bluetooth transmitter which can allow you to use bluetooth headphones with your TV so what this tiny compact gadget does is connect to the audio of your TV and then creates a Bluetooth connection where you can then connect up to two different Bluetooth headphones now a couple notes if you pick this up and you set it up any notice a little bit of lag or a little bit of latency that is more than likely because your headphones do not support a low latency mode as that's the case they do make a complimentary pair of headphones that is designed specifically for this use on the contrary though if you do want to use the low latency pair of headphones you can only stream audio to one pair of headphones not two so if you do want to stream audio to two separate sources you will have to sacrifice the low latency you can't power this through the USB port on your TV but what's cool with this is there they built him better that should give you around six hours of battery life that also makes us perfect to take on the go so if you're someone who lives with others maybe you watch things way too late or way too early and even looking for a solution to continue to do that without disturbing others this is a fantastic option and again it is only 39 bucks besides tonight thank you guys very much for watching the POV yet make sure you check out this video here where Phillips partner with Ted to showcase how cool technology like the Sonicare FlexCare platinum connected can help improve lives this is Jonathan and I will catch you guys later
