The Best Tech Under $50 - July 2016

2016-07-31
hey guys johnathan here back in the nick of time for this month's episode of the best tech under 50 so kick back relax and drop a like if you're ready for some awesome tech that won't make your wallet cry first up and getting in the mindset of back-to-school tech this is something relatively inexpensive that's going to add both function and aesthetics to your setup what this is is a computer riser that's one going to elevate your screen to a more appropriate eye level 2 going to give you actual storage space below your screen and 3 visually it's going to give off the illusion of a much better looking setup without really having to do much at all now what I like about this is the actual shelf itself is made out of glass and not plastic and on top of that the fact that it's transparent really lends itself to work great with things like lights the legs themselves can be adjusted from 0 to 12 millimeters what's a nice touch is the actual feet themselves have some suction action going on which is going to keep things locked down and secure next up is the ante for those who are thinking cool stanbro but tell me about those speakers so these particular ones are the are 19 you from Edifier and not only are they under 50 bucks right now they are a penny under 30 they have a really simple clean look and what I love about these is not only are the USB powered but the actual audio signal is also past your USB as well you do of course have the option for an analogue connection as well but if you can get around that and take advantage of the USB so that's one less cable you're gonna have to worry about keeping clean from there there's a couple nice touches with these speakers that you really wouldn't normally expect at this price point one is the easy access to volume control up front so you're not gonna have to fumble around messing with volume and two if you look closely the actual speakers themselves are slightly angled what that's going to do is give you a better listening experience now by no means are these going to blow off the roof sound wise but they sound good and more importantly they fit the bill perfectly for an inexpensive pair of speakers the next up if you thought the iPhone se was small think again because the posh micro X is a 2.4 inch smartphone this little guy is GSM unlock so you're going to have some flexibility on where you use it and inside it's rocking a dual-core one gigahertz processor half a gig or Ram four gigabytes of internal storage but it can be expanded up to 32 gigabytes via microSD this is running Android so you do have the ability to install apps and but really to be honest this thing is geared for making phone calls maybe navigating in light things like text and email the camera really isn't good it's somewhere in between a potato and a hash brown but what I did find cool was installing Spotify and then streaming music wirelessly to a pair of Bluetooth speakers now watching things like YouTube and video was definitely a little hilarious on a phone this small it's not quite as ridiculous as watching video or looking at pictures through a SmartWatch but at the very least it can be done so again this is not intended to compete with any flagship store for that matter any of the 100 to $200 budget phones but if you just need a super simple smart phone for basic things like phone calls and texts it also needs to be really portable this is a pretty unique option the next up are the zealot b5 over your headphones they're Bluetooth which means they're wireless but on top of that these have a feature that I really don't ever see on headphones and that's the ability to load music through a microSD card that is awesome because it essentially eliminates the need to have a smartphone or an mp3 player around so this way if you're going for a run or hike and you don't want to bring your phone now you can do that with these headphones the ear cups themselves are extremely comfortable so you're gonna be able to wear these for an extended period of time and on top of the black you see here these also come in red and silver so you're going to have some options to choose from now much like the Edifier speakers from earlier these are not audiophile quality but for the price they give you a really well balanced sound they have inline controls which is an awesome feature on any set of headphones and overall there is a ton of flexibility because in addition to the micro SD card support on top of being able to connect these wirelessly through bluetooth you can also connect these old-school with a wire now last up is the fuse chicken Titan USB cable which in addition to a ridiculous name is also dubbed the toughest USB cable on earth for starters I'm pretty sure there aren't many cables out there that could do this and according to their Amazon page this cable can withstand both chainsaws and puppies specifically this is the Micro USB Edition but there is also a Lightning variant for iPhone and iPad users so if you're anything like Raisa Lopez and potentially have a cat named Little Miss bubbles that eats phone cables for breakfast this is no doubt the answer to your problems aside from that thank you guys much for watch and hopefully you enjoyed it if you did and you consider yourself a super TLD fan make sure you check out the latest tenth challenge below and
