wow that's pretty Christmasy thanks buddy yo guys johnathan here welcome back to a special holiday edition of the best tech under 50 so whether your need for a super last minute gift idea or you're watching this after the holidays and need some ideas I want to spend those sweet gift cards on this has you covered now quick announcement the shirts are finally here available to pick up huge shout out to everyone on Twitter who's rocking them they look amazing if you haven't checked him out yet I will drop a link down below so first up is the Philips hue motion sensor and huge shout out to Philips for not only sponsoring this gift guide but also a really sweet giveaway so if we can hit 10,000 no 20 no 5000 hundred million likes or they delete my channel and Ralphy goes homeless then we can give some stuff away or I love you guys and even if we hit 20 likes I am giving away some stuff now if you have Philips you the motion sensor is pretty much a must-have because it gives you control of your lighting through motion no talking no pressing buttons simply movement what's awesome with this though is a it's battery-powered so there's no wires and B it can also attach magnetically which allows you to places pretty much anywhere the ability to adjust it and place it in the optimal field of view for motion is a nice touch but what I love most about this is how responsive it is with this you're not only able to simply turn on lights but you can also trigger entire scenes with motions so in this case if I want something colorful when I walk by BAM but more realistically if it were the middle of the night you want to something dim relaxed with no blue tone so it didn't wake you up you can do that as well and then conversely you can set it up to where it will automatically turn off the lights once you leave the room which is perfect for those who tend to leave those on and drive up that electricity bill so next up is the Amazon echo dot the tiny baby brother to the Amazon echo and this is a great option to either extend Alexa into various rooms in your household or in this case if you already have a Bluetooth speaker you can pair it with that and save some money if you have a jump on the echo train yet it is kind of Awesome Alexa turn off all the lights okay Alexa turn on the lights downstairs you could also use it to play music Alexa play some Christmas music Christmas music holiday favorites damn Evans Alexis stop for love of God stop they broke his hip so really not much more needs to be said it is pretty awesome whether it's for yourself or someone else and you've been looking to get into the smart home game this is a fairly inexpensive and also really great way to do so now following that we got a couple inexpensive headphone options both of the wired and wireless nature the first of which are the status BT one which are a simple clean lightweight pair of wireless headphones that right now are only about 40 bucks now these are on your headphones not over at your headphones so that combined with the fact they are lightweight like I talked about means they're not going to be cumbersome or feel like they're weighed down after longer periods of listening what really stands out to me with these though is the sound quality they're not going to beat out Bose or Sony and at two 300 hour range but they are definitely going to give headphones at least twice the price run for its money which is really surprising on the flip side in the wired world the super luxe HD 668 BS might be my new favorite headphones under 50 bucks right now these are around 40 they're not the flashiest they're not the prettiest they get a little bit bulky with the cabling and everything but good god these things sound really good for the price the build quality isn't phenomenal but there is a pretty substantial amount of padding which makes these really comfortable for long periods of time now obviously if you're on Team iPhone 7 or any other phone without a headphone jack you're going to need to download up and take advantage of these but if you do have a headphone jack you don't have a ton of cash to spend these are a fantastic pick up now next I'm going to hand this one off to miss crystal key hey guys so this is the priva 2 from Avon tree and it's a tiny little device that acts as a multi-point Bluetooth transmitter and probably the biggest reason why you would want to use this is to send your TV's audio wirelessly to your Bluetooth headphones so it's just perfect for watching movies late at night without disturbing your sleeping family members or maybe even prevent them from disturbing you and the latency on here is very low too and from what I can see the audio looks perfectly in sync and the sound quality is great with it using an optics high-five quality stereo codec it's very easy to set up - you can slap it somewhere near your entertainment system run an aux or RCA cable between the privet - and your television and then after that you can easily sync any pair of bluetooth headphones or earbuds you already have now you can have the permit to run on a charge or plug it into an outlet or USB port on your TV but the best part with using the perfect two I think is that you can hook up two Bluetooth devices and have them work simultaneously so you can watch movies and shows with a friend still without any noticeable latency and both 100% in sync and you can even use this to turn other devices into wireless audio transmitters like computers or audio interfaces and the priva - will only set you back about $50 which is already much cheaper than buying just one good pair of wireless TV headphones next Google did launch their 4k chromecast earlier this year but if you don't have a 4k TV or something to watch 4k content on then it kind of doesn't make sense and if that's the case the regular chromecast is still a great option for the most part you can pick it up on sale for around 25 bucks right now if you have an HDMI equipped TV but can't access things like YouTube Netflix or Hulu this is probably the cheapest and easiest way to do that going down the list next is the behold acoustic pod and this is a very simple piece of tech you place your phone in it and it amplifies things now by no means is going to compete or replace a dedicated Bluetooth speaker but if you want something simple something you're never going to have to charge more importantly I think it leans to people who tend to use their phones for a lot of conference calls this is going to be a simple and effective way to amplify your sound now next I know it's none of you out there shoot video you take pictures and with your cameras you're going to need media so I wanted to recommend one of my personal favorite SD cards the Samsung Pro Plus these are super fast which is important if you shoot 4k video and more importantly they're going to allow you to transfer the files to your computer quickly unless you automatic Pro then you got to get a dongle that's a whole different story but either way this a super solid SD card following that we're going to show a little apple watch love when I first saw this I was like holy crap that is actually a really smart idea this is Apple watch car charger and I've seen portable Apple watch chargers before which kind of really didn't make too much sense but if you were ever to charge your Apple watch in a situation that wasn't next to your bed to me the car is the perfect scenario what I like about this is a it works right out of the box you're not going to have to install or buy any extra cables and B there is also a USB port so you're gonna be able to charge your phone at the same time build quality is fantastic it feels really premium so I've been really happy with this and whether you've been looking for the perfect Apple watch accessory for yourself or for someone else I would definitely recommend picking this up next up is the tp-link smart plug which has quickly become one of my favorite pieces of tech so theoretically you could use this to connect to anything in your house whether it's a TV speakers or in my case I have a hookup to the tree I do of course have control through the app to turn it off and on but again it also does work great with Alexa turn the office tree off Alexa turn the office tree on the app is clean it's simple it's easy to navigate I love the fact you can apply different icons and different things in your house and again if you own an echo or echo dot the integration was seamless aside from that hopefully you guys enjoyed the video if you did and you are feeling like being awesome make sure to go Austin break that hip Evans on that like button and as far as that giveaway goes I am teaming up with crystal key we're giving away an Apple watch a philips hue starter kit an amazon echo dot and a couple of these shirts that i entered the giveaway all you got to do is make sure you subscribe to here on tald and then also to Crystal's channel she just released a really awesome tech guide ourselves to checked out it as well it's linked here and down below this is Jonathan and I will catch you guys later boom damn that I though yeah
