The Best Tech Under $50 - April 2016

2016-04-18
hey guys johnathan here and welcome back to a fresh episode of the best tech under 50 so first up is a headphone stand but not just any headphone stand this one from satochi is awesome for a multitude of reasons for starters the build quality is phenomenal especially when you factor in the price point which is under 40 bucks it comes in three colors and is made out of solid aluminium from there though it's the attention to detail that really makes this stand out from the rubberized top and bottom which gives off a really premium feel and for those of you who hate seeing wires everywhere you will be happy to hear there's built-in cable management now you're probably thinking this is a damn cool headphone stand but there's more on top of showcase in your headphones this also packs triple USB 3 ports so in turn this function as the USB hub but where the magic happens and what blew my mind is you look closely there is a headphone jack and that is there because this also acts as a USB audio pass-through so instead of being at the mercy of wherever your audio output is located on your computer or dealing with messing with wires you simply pop into the headphone stand and you are good to go following that we're taking a look at a collection of USB cables from native Union who were awesome going to send these out and sponsor this episode and first up is the night cable which is hands-down one of my favorite cables ever so much in fact that actually purchased one and I've owned one way before they ever sent one to me is 10 feet long so it definitely passes the trusty TLD jump rope test this also comes in three colors in a beautiful braided design which in turn leads to super solid build quality that makes these cables way more resistant to everyday wear and tear now on top of that what makes this stand out is the adjustable way which allows you to anchor this cable anywhere from your desks your kitchen table to your bed hence why it's great at night and really it's just one of those why didn't anyone think of this before kind of products now keeping the cool train roll and this little guy here dub jump just might be the perfect USB cable it's got a really clever design with built-in cable management that makes it perfect for travel and even though this is geared primarily as a USB cable it also sandwiches an 800 milli amp hour battery inside which is perfect for those holy crap my phone's about to die situations so how this works once your charging your phone as you normally would once that is done charging its going to automatically charge itself and be ready for when you need it lastly this is the native Union key cable which is perfect for those who are constantly losing I know it's myself there was a lot more at stake if I lose my keys as opposed to a USB cable and this ensures me to always have access to one on top of that it actually looks good and complement your keychain because the last thing you want is an eyesore in your pants following that continuing the search for awesome would this multi-angle stand from creative is perfect not only for the new iPad pro but just about every tablet out there this one is crafted from walnut but it's also available in birch 2 and what I love about this is that it's functional without being overly complicated there are no settings you need to mess with there are no tools needed so if you want to adjust the orientation you just simply rotate the stand and most importantly even though it's extremely lightweight is built really well so you're not gonna have to worry about knocking your tablet over so if you've been looking for a tablet stand but weren't sure which one to grab this looks great it works as advertised and not only this under 50 right now it's under 30 now in past episodes of tech under 50 I featured quite a few wireless headphones so I thought it'd be cool to mix it up and take a look at a couple of high quality wired pairs the first of the two are the HD ones from status audio these are arguably the best sounding headphones for under fifty bucks what's cool with these though is how minimal they are they're extremely stealthy with no logos or no branding so they do a great job of not drawing attention while still looking clean as hell there are also inline controls which make these an awesome choice for the gym and on top of that these are extremely lightweight and don't get uncomfortable when you're listening to music for longer periods of time so initially it was a ridiculous amount of positive reviews on Amazon that got me interested it made me order these but now that I got them in hand and have tested them I can wholeheartedly vouch for the quality now if on your headphones aren't really your thing these earbuds here which are dub slide from zip bugs are a great alternative and a really nice upgrade from your stock headphones now like the name implies this utilizes a zipper design and what that does is help ensure that it stays tangle free what's also nice is the build quality the cables are super thick and super strong so these are going to withstand everyday abuse whether you're throwing in your backpack or your gym bag and I know every pair of earbuds and headphones are different but these happen to fit my ears extremely well as far as sound quality goes these are extremely bass heavy so if you're not into headphones that are dominant with the low end you might want to look elsewhere but if you do like that bass these are most likely exactly what you're looking for they are geared as sport headphones but honestly I think they make a great all-around pair they sound great they're built even better and are perfect for those who hate tangles now for those who've been patiently waiting for that iPhone se giveaway today is
