hey guys johnathan here and yes it is that time again welcome back to the best tech under 50 so first up is something I personally been on the lookout for and that is a solid USB C hub for the 12 inch MacBook this one's from tsuitachi it's clean it's simple and more importantly blends in really well with the MacBook so with this you're turning that single USBC port into three USB 3 ports then a micro SD and SD card reader now the one critical element missing from this that keeps it from being the perfect 12 inch macbook hub is another USB C port which in this case stops you from being able to charge it while you're using this aside from that functionally it worked great at tried it out with an SD card and external USB 3 Drive and it worked no problem and on top of that not only this under 50 bucks it's under 40 following that might be a contender for the best tech under 50 hall-of-fame these are the pebbles from JBL which are an awesome set of USB speakers so when I initially picked these up there were 43 bucks which was a freaking steal that was for the white and orange set that you see here which have gone up slightly in price but the good news is they have the silver and the black models for under 50 bucks right now now like I mentioned because these are USB they are literally plug and play but the plus is they also come with an aux cord so just in case you don't have that USB connectivity they still got you covered they're fairly compact and had this really cool clean modern look to them and what I like most about these is the volume control that's done to this dial right here and if you notice that is not just controlling the volume on the speaker's themselves but also the volume on your computer now as far as sound quality goes because that is obviously the most important element when looking for speakers it doesn't matter how cool it look if they sound bad but these things did not disappoint not only do they pack a ton of volume for the size they're also really well balanced so if you can find these for under 50 bucks you jump on these and jump on them now now following that we're going to take a closer look at a couple pieces of tech that you may have seen in the pilot episode of the dream desk and the first of which being the anchor Lumos LED desk lamp this comes in two colors white and black features four modes with five different dimming levels now what's sweet about this is the adjustable arms not only keep dialing that perfect brightness and temperature you can also dial in that perfect angle being that this is an LED light it's going to last a ridiculously long time in fact Ankur is claiming over 20 years and on top of that it also features a really sweet USB port so you can also charge device at the same time following that is probably one of my favorite items from the dream desk that is the truffle five port 36 watt USB charger what you guys are seeing here is the cherrywood color but it also comes in a darker walnut wood which looks just as awesome with this you're getting two quick charge 2.0 amp outputs and then 3 1 amp outputs that can all be used simultaneously now not only does this look fantastic but it's also built really well there's a rubber base at the bottom which is going to prevent slipping but it's also got a lot of weight to it which screams premium at your face so if you've yet to pick up a multi output USB hub this one's hard to argue with not only does it work really well but it looks killer last up are the blue T ot2 wireless bluetooth headphones and these surprised the hell out of me I initially picked these up on an Amazon lightning deal for around 30 bucks currently they're 35 but if I handed these to you would probably think there are at least twice or triple that cost these are packing 57 millimeter drivers bluetooth 4.1 and you can rotate the ear cups 195 degrees which make these perfect for travel now as far as sound quality goes are these going to be audiophile quality absolutely not but for the price point they sounded way better than I ever would have expected plus not only are they Bluetooth and wireless they actually look cool now in addition to the black model you see here they also come in white which I will link to down below along with everything else featured in this video but aside from that just about wraps up this episode of the
