so last week we talked about gifts for a wide variety of people but this week we're doing it for the tech lovers and this time we're sticking to a budget of a hundred bucks and a kickstart this list we've got the anchor sound core flare now this is a speaker that not only it looks good but it sounds good too and you'd actually be pretty surprised at the power that you get out of this guy and not to mention it is a 360 speaker so no matter where you place it in a room you're still gonna get a nice crisp audio now you guys know I'm a sucker for RGB lights and this thing has a ring at the bottom that can kind of change colors and also pulse and match the music that you're listening to so you can see that nice stuff when you're listening to your audio and there's even an app so if you want to customize the lighting with different themes you can do that right from there and I think it's also a p67 water-resistant so if this thing happens to fall on the pool maybe there's a ton of rain that gets on it no matter what it may be is gonna have that water resistance so you don't have to really worry about accidents and it makes a good pool buddy and what's also nice about the speaker is that if you get more than one you can pair them up together through bluetooth and get even louder sound now the version I have here is the Christmas edition so it comes with a travel case as well as this nice gift box but if you guys want to save ten bucks you can go with one without any of the extra thrills and just get the speaker itself for fifty either way I'll have both of them linked down below in the description as well as everything else mentioned in this video and while we're on the topic of audio if you want to give someone a pair of Bluetooth earbuds you're gonna want to check out b1 + Bullitt Wireless now the channel I've shown a ton of truly wireless earbuds but those tend to be on the pricey side coming in at 70 bucks the one plus bullet Wireless is a steal now I know not everyone is crazy about the neckband design but me I personally love it because I have a hard time with keeping in ear buds in my ears so in terms of comfort the neck that tends to help but really stay in place which leads to a better overall experience and of course they come with multiple sized ear tips so you can pick the one that fits best for you so of course the comfort is great on these but what's also nice is the fact that it has built-in Google assistant so if you like to check your schedule maybe send out a text message you can ask you all kinds of things you'll have access to that all from your ear buds and while that's cool one of the biggest features of this guy is the battery life it gets about 6 to 7 hours of battery life which is pretty average but you get 5 hours of battery life from a 10 minute charge when it comes to charging speeds one plus is and they brought that over to these earbuds so if you forget to charge them before you head to the gym just ten minutes and your gym session is covered and they're also water resistant so if you want to use these as a workout pair of earbuds you can go ahead and take them to the gym and not worry about sweat ruining them honestly guys for 70 bucks you get that sweat resistance the Google assistant fast-charging great comfort I really feel like you just can't beat this you get a lot for the money and it'll make a great gift now the next gift is something I usually recommend around this time of year I've had a bunch of family members ask me which iPad they should get for their young very clumsy child and I just cannot recommend it the Amazon fire HD tablet is a much better option and here's why young kids need something durable that they can watch their shows on and maybe play some light games and at 60 bucks the Amazon Fire HD 8 tablet it's just a way to go until they get older and they have more demanding tasks the Fire HD 8 is a great choice for light web browsing watching shows on Netflix Hulu and other typical apps but what's even better is the functionality you get when you add the dock this connects magnetically and pretty much turns the tablet into an echo shell so you can dock it and it goes into show mode where you can ask Alexa to show you the weather for the upcoming week or even show you the lyrics of songs that you're listening to you can even video chat with someone who has an echo show or tablet but I think that's a great option for kids or maybe someone who isn't super tech savvy and wants to get their hands on a tablet or maybe even have something that's like an echo show I think this is a really great choice but something that Amazon makes that I think makes a great gift idea is the Amazon fire cube TV this thing is just honestly a game changer to me but it basically allows you to do is connect to your TV and you've got basically an MS on echo in the size of that little cube so you can ask your questions do all that kind of stuff but what's really awesome about it is being able to control your TV with your voice so you can just say turn on the TV it'll turn it on you can tell it to switch to Netflix or maybe pull up a certain show play pause volume up volume down anything that you would do with a remote you pretty much get access to right there and what's really nice about this is that it works throughout the entire platform so you can go into different apps using it I think that's really not having to touch a single remote just use your voice to control your television it's a game changer and because it's an echo device you can tell it turn off the lights you can have it control your smart room there's a lot of possibilities with this guy and I think right now it's going for 60 bucks so if you haven't gotten your hands on it yet you gotta jump on it right away but one thing I will warn you guys about though those edges are pretty sharp so if you got kids around just be careful that they don't bump into it not a huge deal or anything but just something to be careful of if you've got some kids and you want to put it in their reach I gotta let you guys know about the sony xba-40 and ones they are currently going for a hundred and twenty bucks on Amazon and I think a few other places so it is absolutely a really really good deal twenty bucks over but I am telling you guys these are my favorite headphones of all time not only do they have active noise-cancelling so you can block out your surroundings but they're extremely extremely comfortable so if you like to travel these are gonna be a very nice travel companion their be nice and comfortable so you can have a long flight with them this thing has a ton a ton of base so it sounds really great if you really enjoy that thumping sound when you're listening to your music this thing is awesome but it has an app where you can access a ton of controls and the ability to increase the bass so if you really just want to have your head rattling that is the headphone to go for personally it's my favorite I've recommended it to a lot of people and I have yet to have anyone say that they didn't enjoy the experience definitely a great Buy 220 bucks you know someone who loves music buy it it is absolutely worth it trust me now next up is a gift I think a lot of people will find a good use for and that's the pocket juice Qi wireless portable charger now this is a portable charger so that means you'll be able to take this with you if your phone dies on you while you're outside you can just plug in charge up your phone with no problem you don't need to find the wall outlet but what's special about this one is that if your phone supports wireless charging you don't even need to find a cable to make sure you do it all you have to do is slap your phone right on top of it and it starts charging automatically I actually stumbled across this in a Best Buy shopping challenge that I deal with Ari and I actually really really like this device this one 10,000 milliamp hour version I believe the one I found before was 8,000 milliamp hours and there's also a 5,000 milliamp hour version if you want less and less battery but 10,000 you cannot beat that but not only that it also has an LED indicator that lets you know just how much battery you've got left no more guessing how much you have left with these four little dots now that'll tell you the exact percentage which i think is a much better way of showing so if you've got one of the new iPhones or a phone that supports wireless charging this is something you definitely want to take a look at I wish it had quick charge 3.0 or something but it doesn't but not needing a cable to charge your device it's pretty solid too and another little bonus that I got to throw in here guys is if you know someone who loves to play on their Xbox one or maybe even their PC you got to get them a customized Xbox one controller maybe that customized it for them you can probably get them a gift card and let them do it themselves but Xbox allows you to customize their controllers using their design labs and I'm telling you you can create some really awesome stuff here I've done it myself and they've actually added even more things that you can customize your controller with more designs I think if you give someone a gift card so that they can do it themselves it is something that they're going to be very very happy for but that about wraps up for this video guys hopefully you enjoyed it hopefully you got some good gift ideas here but till the next one guys it's your average consumer peace
