hey guys johnathan here we're closing out the month with a fresh episode of tech under a hundred so first up is one of the most attractive pairs of headphones I've seen at any price point let alone under 80 and if you walk into a store and saw a major brand name smack on these you could easily see them selling for 200 bucks these however are from satochi which is extremely fun to pronounce they're wireless to bluetooth 4.0 they have a 16 hour battery life and what's also cool they still have a 3.5 millimeter wired option sound wise these are also on point they're not mind-blowing but easily I'll perform a handful of headphones that I've tried at twice the price really though the wow factor with these are the aesthetics because they look incredible the attention to detail from the finish down to the left and right indicators is flawless you combine that with killer inline controls great sound quality and a relatively inexpensive price and that my friends is a win following that are the Mackie CR 3 reference monitors which is a stellar budget option for those just getting into video or music production the difference with these versus a more traditional pair desktop speakers you're used to is that these are not meant to color the sound what that means is you are getting a more realistic representation of the audio you recorded and why that's important is because if you're adjusting something based off a frequency or a sound that really isn't there that will affect your finished product in a negative way so for example here what the built-in speakers on a macbook pro sound like and after that here's that exact same audio plugged into the Mackie CR threes jamming a point but you keep preaching I won't let this that was recorded with a zoom h5 which by no means is gonna accurately represent listening to these yourself but at the very least it'll give you an idea of how drastic the two are and hopefully you can see if you're into music or video why it's important to edit off something like these or a good pair of headphones next up is a budget GoPro option from active on and this is their CX action camera with this you'll get 1080p recording at 30fps which is pretty standard but there are a couple things that I really like about this for the price the first of which being the fact there's a built-in LCD net is something that the closest price GoPro does not offer the other is the fact that there's built-in threading so you can easily mount this on a tripod with no accessories with this you also get a pretty wide field of view the video quality is not breathtaking but it's definitely solid now the stabilization while moving with this wasn't bad but it also wasn't good so do keep that in mind and if you've been looking for an action camera but don't have a ton of cash to spend but really liked the idea of having a built-in screen this is a fantastic option after that is something you've actually already seen throughout this entire video and that is the I cam multimedia I clip grip so what this is is a foreign one video tool for smartphones it can be used as a handheld grip a mini tripod a monopod / selfie stick and also a tripod adapter in my case it worked perfectly to stand the h5 on the desk for recording and it's also what I use to mount the active on action camera in both tripod mode and in my POV shots so if you shoot a ton of video with your smartphone this essentially is a Swiss Army knife of mounting options plus on top of that it also comes with a Bluetooth camera trigger so no matter what shooting situation you're in with your phone you are more than likely covered so last up is the LS TN satellite bluetooth speaker and a beautiful cherry wood finish and yes it is no secret I like wood accessories your perverts and with that I could not refuse picking this up this little guy is just three inches tall but packs a way bigger sound than you'd ever expect it was cool with this is the fact that it's not made out of wood like material that in fact is real wood in addition to the cherry finish it also comes in walnut and zebra and it also has a built in microphone which is cool if you want to use this for calls as well the one thing I will point out with this is it is not bass heavy at all so if you like your low-end you might not like this but on the flip side if you prefer more of a balanced sound and also want something that is just downright pretty to look at this is a serious contender it has great battery life it was super quick to set up and the inline controls are simple and easy to operate now aside from that thank you guys for watching hopefully enjoy the video if you did and you are feel like being awesome make sure to go accidentally nailing a hoverboard trick on it like button down try this at home and last thing before hop out of here I wanna give a huge shout out to Braintree payments for making this video possible they are a killer choice for app
