20 Cool New Tech Actually Worth Buying!

Welcome back to the 10th episode of the top tech you'd actually want to buy. Yep, I've already made 10 of these. It's basically a monthly series that I try to put out at the end of every month where I show off some of the best tech that I think you will actually want to buy because it'll improve your life, it'll make things easier, and it won't break the bank too, since a lot of these are under 100 bucks. And yeah, this month again, I'm going all in with 20 items. I mean, who reviews 20 tech items every month? Seriously, I mean, nobody else, just me. So if you see something you like, and especially if you buy something, just do me a quick favor and just hit that thumbs up button. It just really helps the series keep going and really motivates me. All right, first off, I was pretty impressed by Microsoft's new Surface Laptop Ultra. I mean, don't worry, I'm not showing off that expensive beast, but I did like its new magnetic USB-C charging cable. It just makes plugging in the charger way easier. Especially at night when you can't see anything. So I tried to see if I could find something similar for my other devices and I ended up finding this right angle magnetic USB-C adapter for around 12 bucks. So basically you plug this tiny connector into whatever device you have including your phone, maybe tablet or even your laptop and then you can connect this adapter to the actual charging cable of that device. So now whenever you need to charge it, the whole cable just magnetically snaps right into place. It's really nice. Plus, since it's a 90 degree angle, this cable actually sits nicely on the side instead of sticking right out and maybe getting bent, especially when you're gaming on a phone. It's a pretty clever design. Moving on, a few weeks ago, I actually ended up finding that I had a bunch of storage boxes just lying around my house, and half the time, I completely forgot what's inside. So I actually picked up this really cheap Knuckle P21 label maker for around $17, just easily label everything. And it's been great because it's so easy to use. You just connect it to your phone via Bluetooth. And inside its app you can create any custom label that you want, including with any text, icons, borders, you can even add QR codes, and even barcodes itself. There's even a good amount of pre-made templates to choose from so you can do those. And get this, since it's thermal printing, I never really had to worry about buying ink or toner. You just need the label rolls and that's it. Again, I used it a lot to organize some of the boxes I had laying around, but it's also a great way to label birthday or Christmas gifts. Kitchen containers or anything else really. Moving on, if you're someone who drinks coffee every morning, you've got to check out this Mondeo coffee mug going for around 15 bucks because you'll no longer need to stir your coffee anymore with a spoon or really any other drinks. And that's because this mug comes with a little magnetic bead that you attach to the bottom and whenever you double press the power button on the handle, it starts spinning it really fast to just mix everything together. It works really great. It's even got a little display on the handle that shows you the exact temperature of your drink, so you know when it's cool enough or hot enough to sip. And the entire mug itself too is made out of stainless steel, so it's got good quality with a nice sealed lid, so your drink can stay hot too. It's a must-have. And that's just three out of the 20 best tech items in this video. Last episode, we hit over 4,000 likes, which is really awesome. I really do appreciate it, guys. Maybe this time, let's try to see if the boys got my back, and we can actually try to hit 5,000 likes. Honestly, that alone will just keep me motivated to just keep making this series every month, especially since I record everything myself. A quick comment too would really be great too. Just let me know which tech item you like the most from my selection. And stick around to the end too because I saved my absolute favorite item on this entire list for last. It's a great addition for your desk setup. Next, I no longer use clips for any of my chip bags or snacks because instead, I now use this mini bag sealer going for around $10, which I can just slap on my fridge magnetically. And then I can easily reseal any of my bags shut by just using heat. That's right, I just place the open end of the bag inside and then I press it down and within seconds that bag is sealed up like it was never opened. It's pretty great. And you can even do tougher, thicker bags too. Like I did my dog's food bag and it worked like a charm. It works with a bunch of plastic bags. The only thing that it doesn't work with are any bags that are just made out of aluminum or paper. Now when I travel I need a really small power bank and luckily I found the world's smallest 25,000 mAh power bank from Enu called the Cougar P63 going for around $67. I mean just look at it, it literally fits in the palm of my hand since it's only 4.3 inches long and yet somehow it packs a 25,000 mAh battery inside. It's insane. That means I could charge something like my Galaxy S24 Ultra or iPhone 15 Pro Max about five times in a row on a single charge. And it even supports up to 100 watt fast charging, so I can juice them up at the top speeds real easily. But even better, you can even charge up to three devices at the same time, so if I'm traveling and my phone, tablet, and laptop are all running low on battery, I can literally just plug them into this power bank and they'll all get charged up real nicely. And speaking of traveling too, it's even airline approved, so I can bring it with me on a flight and I won't have to deal with TSA. Plus, as I said, it supports 100 watt fast charging, so it's even powerful enough to charge a full-size laptop too, like a MacBook or even my Google Book, which is amazing because now I don't have to rely on finding an outlet when I'm at a park or an airport. Every time my laptop just dies on me. And probably my favorite thing about this power bank, besides how small it is, is that it even comes with a short detachable USB-C cable, so you already have a cable ready to go, and if it ever breaks, you can even just replace that cable Toss out the entire power bank. Now, if you prefer something even smaller and tougher, something you can accidentally drop in a pool of water or knock on the ground without worrying too much about it, I also found this rugged 10,000 milliamp hour power bank from Enu going for around 55 bucks. So yes, it's even cheaper than the P63 power bank, but it doesn't have as much battery capacity as this one. Still, 10,000 milliamp hours is a good amount and it charges at up to 45 watts, which isn't bad too. I mean, you can juice up an entire Galaxy S24 Ultra or iPhone 15 Pro Max two times in a row. And again, it's even smaller than the P63 at just 3.6 inches tall, so it's even easier to carry around. It's been my go-to for whenever I go on some crazy hiking trail or I go to the park, because it's actually built for the outdoors. Like, it's got an IP67 water resistance rating, so if it starts raining or it gets covered with dirt or even accidentally falls into some water, it'll be just fine. And it's got a really tough design too, so if I drop this thing or I bang it against something, I'm not worried. But probably my favorite thing about this power bank is that I can attach to things really easily. Like it's got a carabiner so I can clip it onto my backpack instead of having to carry it around in my pocket. Or it's also got a built-in tripod mount so I can attach it to a compatible bike mount or a tripod and keep my phone charging while I'm riding with it. And on top of that, it comes with the flashlight too, which is nice. So if you're looking for a small, tough power bank that you can take pretty much anywhere without having to baby it around, this INU Outdoor Rugged 10,000 mAh Power Bank is definitely worth checking out. I swear, every time I try to put together some furniture or fix something around the house, there's always that one screw that's in the most awkward spot possible. And I'm trying to use a regular screwdriver, but it's just such a pain to get to it. Well that's why I started using this tool set here called the Hodo Pivot Drive cordless screwdriver selling for around 89 bucks. If that's gonna be a little bit too much for you still, they're also gonna have deals during Black Friday and I also even found a discount which I'll link down below. But what I like about this screwdriver is that unlike a regular one, this one has a head that can actually pivot into four different angles. So that way you can keep it straight or bend it to 30, 60 or even 90 degrees just depending on what you're working on. And that makes it just so much easier to reach screws and tight corners, or maybe even spots underneath the furniture, inside cabinets, and a lot more. You can literally get as close as nine millimeters to a wall, or if you bend the head all the way to 90 degrees, you can even shove it into spaces that are just as narrow as 78 millimeters. Plus I love that it has a screen too that just shows you which of the five torque levels you're using, and you can switch between them with just your thumb. And to top it off, there's a bunch of clever hidden enhancements that I love too. I mean, for instance, it's got a built-in LED light so you can see in dark corners while you're screwing something in. The trigger is smart enough to know how fast or slow to go just depending on how hard you press it. And my favorite thing about the Pivot Drive is that it's got a clever design that even lets you carry six different bits on this handle, which is really convenient. You can literally just attach it to it. The device itself even comes with 16 bits out of the box. It's just one of those tools that makes those small, annoying jobs around the house just a lot easier. I definitely recommend it. I'll drop the link in the description if you want to check it out. I even managed to obtain a 20% discount too, which I'll leave down below so that way you can get it for cheaper. I've also been looking for a really great professional microphone that won't break the bank because let's be honest, there are so many expensive options out there. And on top of that, it has to have good audio quality, just like this one. And you can use a wireless link, like this one. Yeah, that's right. I found the perfect option. It's this microphone right here called the Maono PD-200W going for around $120. Now, what I love about this mic is that even though it's meant for podcasting, you don't need any of that fancy studio equipment to just get started with recording. You can literally just plug in this tiny receiver into your phone. It could be an Android or an iPhone. I plugged it into my iPhone 18, and once I did that, it connected wirelessly to this microphone so I could speak into it nice and easily, very freely. And another great thing about this battery, too, is that its battery literally lasts up to 60 hours on a single charge, so I can be talking to this all day long into a podcast or a video, and I don't really have to worry about it dying while I'm recording, which is a great plus. And even cooler, let's say I get two of these, I can still connect into my phone wirelessly, both of them, and then I can have a two-person podcast real easily. Each person will even get their own separate audio track so that way if you're editing in post you can make one person's voice a little lower if they're talking too loud or maybe if someone spoke and said something inappropriate or you don't want something that they said you can remove their part but still keep your voice instead. It's really great. Plus each microphone has three levels of noise cancellation so even if I'm recording in a noisy environment like at the park right now it won't be a problem. And even though I'm showing you how you can use these wirelessly and in a non-professional way You can still connect them directly to a USB or even an XLR cable, and then you can have a more professional setup that way. So you're not just limited to using them with your phone. And for that cherry on top, it's even got customizable RGB lighting. I mean, what more could you ask for? Definitely recommend the Maono PD200 microphone. I'll leave the links in the description. Now for the kitchen, opening cans has gotten a whole lot easier with the Kitchen Mama going for around 40 bucks. Because you basically plop this giant red pill on top of the can, Then you press its button and it'll automatically cut around the lid before stopping on its own. You know, at first I didn't think it would actually work, but it actually does. It's kind of like a little party trick. And what's even better is that instead of cutting through the top and leaving those dangerously sharp edges where you can cut yourself, it actually cuts along the side of the lid, just leaving a much smoother edge, so you're now less likely to cut yourself because you can pick it up. Now, the only annoyance is that you will need to charge it eventually, but luckily, You can open over 130 cans on a single charge, so that won't be much of a problem. I could especially see this being useful for anyone who just struggles with grip strength. I definitely recommend it. And speaking of strength, I've actually been trying to just become a lot stronger as well, so I've been on the hunt for a really good fitness band that doesn't break the bank, just looks nice on the wrist, feels comfortable, and it gives me the best health info to just help me get in better shape. And I think I actually found the best option called the Speedy & Strap Pro going for $159. It checks off all those boxes. It's super comfortable and lightweight, just weighing only 21 grams. And what I love too is that it even does more than most other fitness trackers out there. For instance, it can even monitor your core body temperature, which basically means it gives you a better picture of what's actually going on inside your body instead of just looking at your heart rate, which is what most smartwatches and fitness bands do, not this one. So before I work out it can actually tell me if I should push myself harder, I mean take it easy, or even just stick to my usual routine based on how my body is doing. That way I'm not pushing myself too hard and risking any injury. It's also got this really useful AI assistant called Avis that I use all the time because I can just ask it any fitness or health questions. I mean every new user gets it for free to try it out for an entire year. And like I said, I love it because I can do so much with it, including having it build me a weekly workout plan based on my goal, which really is to just build muscle up and train three times a week at least. And it came up with the perfect plan based on my body analysis, telling me what exercises to do and how to do them. That came in really handy. And it didn't stop there too because I could also log my food to just make sure my diet's solid and I can see what nutrients I'm getting every day, even by just taking a picture of what I'm eating. It was really that easy. I can also have it track my heart rate, a lot of it too, my sleep patterns, skin temperature, blood oxygen, and even my respiratory rate so I know exactly how well I'm recovering and my overall wellness. And the core metrics are free too. Plus even with all these measurements and all these sensors constantly just monitoring my health, the battery actually still lasts a really long time on a single charge. Up to 14 days. Yeah, it's pretty amazing. And I've honestly been loving using the Speedy and Strap Pro on my wrist because it just helped me be a lot healthier. And I even lost a few pounds in the past month, which is great too. Next, if you miss the old days of taking pictures with disposable cameras, where you couldn't immediately check out the photo every time you took it, then you're probably gonna love this little camera called Click going for around 70 bucks. It's basically a modern digital version of those old disposable cameras. So there's no screen to preview your photos. Instead, you just look through this peephole right here, then you press the button at the top, and that's it. You've taken your picture. And what's really cool is that you can even switch between three different filters to just give your photos a different look. It's even got a giant flash, too. And then after you've taken your photos, and you're ready to see how the pictures actually turned out, you can literally just connect the camera to your phone or your computer through a USB-C cable, and then you can transfer everything over. It's really that easy. And I gotta say, I ended up capturing some pretty funny and natural-looking shots. Because I wasn't constantly checking the screen or trying to get the perfect picture. Now sure the image quality isn't going to blow you away since it's only got an 8 megapixel sensor. Especially at night it's not going to look that great. But it still gives you that nostalgic feel and keeps you in the moment instead of needing to pull out your phone. And I also do like that it adds a little suspense and surprise just wondering how your picture is actually turned out. Next, isn't it annoying when you need some AA batteries for a remote but all you have lying around are AAA batteries? Well for just five bucks you can pick up this little AAA to AA battery adapters that solve that exact problem. Basically you just slide a AAA battery inside and it instantly becomes the same size as a regular AA battery. And now you can use that remote control easily. It's really great and it comes in a pack of 10 too so you get a lot. And there are even other adapters too from the same manufacturer like ones that turn AA batteries into the size of D batteries. Pretty clever. Okay, if you ride a scooter or a bike, you've gotta check out this little gadget called the Beeline Velo 2 going for around 99 bucks. It's basically this tiny circular gadget that you can attach to your handlebars and it literally gives you a GPS navigation system right there with turn-by-turn directions so you know where to go. You just connect it to your phone and then in the app you can plan your route and then it'll show you exactly where to go on this little screen. Or it even has a compass mode too so it simply points an arrow toward your destination letting you choose Whichever roads that you want to take, and let's say you accidentally took the wrong way or you missed your turn, it'll automatically reroute you so you know how to get to your final destination. It's also weather sealed so you can ride around in the rain and it won't get damaged, and on top of that, you don't need internet too so it works without needing internet. So a lot of upsides. The only downside though is that it runs off battery so you'll have to charge it every so often because it'll last around 11 hours when it's on. But that's still not bad. Now for the car, if you're having problems with it like your check engine light just popped up and you have no idea what's wrong, you can get this little car scanner tool called the OBD Check BLE going for around 32 bucks to see what's going on. You just plug into your car's OBD2 port, it's usually underneath your steering wheel, and then once you see that it's on with the little light you can connect it to your phone with bluetooth and with their app it'll show you the error codes and what they mean and even let you clear them once you fix the problem. That way you can show your mechanics so they don't try to pull a fast one on you. Plus it monitors other stuff too on your car like the engine temperature, RPM and other sensor readings and I really love too that it works with most cars made from 1996 and onwards so I can just let my buddies use it and it'll work. It's a really great tool that can save you a lot of money. From there I have the smallest flashlight that you can attach to your keychain called the Olight i-mini 2 and it's really cool and helpful because whenever you need light you can just pull it off its magnetic base and the light instantly turns on. And once you're done with it, you can just snap it back onto its base and it turns off instantly. It's really great. Plus, if you're wondering how it can get charged, it's actually got a USB-A at the end of it which you can just plug it straight into your laptop or maybe your battery pack and you can charge it that way. And by the way, don't let the size fool you because it actually outputs a pretty decent amount of light, 50 lumens to be exact, which is around the same brightness as your phone's LED flashlight. And I'd say it's even the perfect backup plan if you don't have your phone nearby or your phone is dead too. Next, if you ever wondered how clean the air is in your house in a particular room, you can check out this Govee Life air quality monitor. It's around 46 bucks and it's basically this smart tiny display that you can just set on a table and it keeps an eye out for three things. The first is the amount of dust and particles that are floating around the air, the second is the temperature of the room, and the third is the humidity level. What's really nice too is that it updates every two seconds so it can tell you pretty quickly when something changes in the air. Honestly, it's really handy if you just wanna keep an eye on the air that you're breathing every day. From there, I've really been enjoying open-ear headphones that you can just put inside your ears this tiny because I can listen to music and I can walk around outside and I won't block everything out too. And my go-to has recently been these from CMF called the Clip Pro headphones, going for around 94 bucks. Unlike regular headphones that go inside your ears, these clip onto the outside so you can still hear everything around you and you can still listen to your music. They're also super lightweight at just 5.9 grams each so you can wear them for hours without making them feel uncomfortable. The case too I really like because it has a smart dial that you can just turn to control your volume or you can even tap on it or double press it to control your music. The sound quality is also really nice especially for the price. You get 10.8 millimeter drivers, it supports high-res audio and spatial audio, and you can also get up to 10 hours of continuous playback on a single charge which honestly isn't bad at all. So if you want to enjoy your music while being aware of everything around you, your surroundings, these are definitely worth checking out. Now for over the year I've also been enjoying these other ones from Nothing called the Headphone One Pro. And I'll admit these are definitely on the more expensive side going for around $400, but I gotta say they're definitely the coolest looking headphones that I've ever owned. They got that signature transparent design which Nothing is known for, and it's also made out of some premium materials too, titanium and glass. That just makes it feel really nice when you wear them. And by far, one of my favorite things about them is actually the physical controls of the headphones. There's this little roller that you can spin to adjust the volume, or you can press it to play or pause your music or change the noise cancellation. There's even this little paddle that you can just flick to skip or rewind tracks, that one's nice. It's just super easy to modify the sound on my phone without needing to pull it out. And what's really interesting about these two is that instead of using one speaker driver in each ear cup, These actually have three separate drivers to handle the bass, vocals, and higher frequencies. So you do get some really detailed sound. The only thing is that out of the box the sound quality isn't going to be the most accurate and that's because nothing actually made their own unique sound profile which a lot of people have actually been complaining about saying that the bass can be a little overpowering or the vocals don't always sound quite right. Personally, I didn't really find that to be too much of a problem, especially since I could just jump into the app and tweak the sound however I like. But really my biggest complaint is definitely this carrying case. It's just a really awkward design and it doesn't even really fully protect the headphones itself like the top of the headset. It can still get damaged and I get that they wanted to make it like a little carrying case kind of like a purse but still it would have also been nice to have pass-through charging as well. But other than that I do like these headphones. I mean they look clean and yeah 400 bucks they're obviously not for everyone but they're out there if you're interested. Alright, this next one is honestly super cool. It's a heads-up display for your car that only costs around $16 and it literally projects your speed right onto your windshield. So, instead of glancing down at your dashboard, you can just see your speed floating right in front of you just like something out of a luxury vehicle. Now, the only small downside about this is that it doesn't need to be plugged into your car's port. There's no built-in battery, but you can hide the cable or if you don't mind it at all, it's honestly worth it. I've been testing it out and it's honestly both practical and fun to use. Plus it automatically adjusts the brightness so it stays visible during the day but it doesn't blind you at night. Not bad for 16 bucks and it definitely adds that futuristic touch to your car setup. And by far my favorite tech item on this entire list is this retro 18 mechanical numpad from 8bitdo going for around 45 bucks. I mean, just look at this thing. It's basically a wireless number pad and calculator combined and it has this old-school Nintendo NES controller vibe. I love it because I can just pull it out and do some quick calculations whenever I need. And then I can send those calculations over to my computer. It's really convenient. Plus these keys too are mechanical switches. So every press feels and sounds super satisfying. You can see there, it sounds great. So it adds a nice little touch to your office setup. Anyway, those are 20 of the best tech items you'd actually wanna buy. Here's the previous episode if you wanna watch that and keep watching to see other cool gadgets I've found in the past. And if one of these even caught your eye, just drop a quick thumbs up to help me out with this video. Thanks so much for sticking around to the end and I'll catch you guys in the next one. Kapow!
