The Best Tech Under $50 - April 2016 #Helpful Post

hey guys johnathan here and welcome back

to a fresh episode of the best tech

under 50 so first up is a headphone

stand but not just any headphone stand

this one from satochi is awesome for a

multitude of reasons for starters the

build quality is phenomenal especially

when you factor in the price point which

is under 40 bucks it comes in three

colors and is made out of solid

aluminium from there though it's the

attention to detail that really makes

this stand out from the rubberized top

and bottom which gives off a really

premium feel and for those of you who

hate seeing wires everywhere you will be

happy to hear there's built-in cable

management now you're probably thinking

this is a damn cool headphone stand but

there's more on top of showcase in your

headphones this also packs triple USB 3

ports so in turn this function as the

USB hub but where the magic happens and

what blew my mind is you look closely

there is a headphone jack and that is

there because this also acts as a USB

audio pass-through so instead of being

at the mercy of wherever your audio

output is located on your computer or

dealing with messing with wires you

simply pop into the headphone stand and

you are good to go following that we're

taking a look at a collection of USB

cables from native Union who were

awesome going to send these out and

sponsor this episode and first up is the

night cable which is hands-down one of

my favorite cables ever so much in fact

that actually purchased one and I've

owned one way before they ever sent one

to me is 10 feet long so it definitely

passes the trusty TLD jump rope test

this also comes in three colors in a

beautiful braided design which in turn

leads to super solid build quality that

makes these cables way more resistant to

everyday wear and tear now on top of

that what makes this stand out is the

adjustable way which allows you to

anchor this cable anywhere from your

desks your kitchen table to your bed

hence why it's great at night and really

it's just one of those why didn't anyone

think of this before kind of products

now keeping the cool train roll and this

little guy here dub jump just might be

the perfect USB cable it's got a really

clever design with built-in cable

management that makes it perfect for

travel and even though this is geared

primarily as a USB cable it also

sandwiches an 800 milli amp hour battery

inside which is perfect for those holy

crap my phone's about to die situations

so how this works once your charging

your phone as you normally would once

that is done charging its going to

automatically charge itself and be ready

for when you need it

lastly this is the native Union key

cable which is perfect for those who are

constantly losing

I know it's myself there was a lot more

at stake if I lose my keys as opposed to

a USB cable and this ensures me to

always have access to one on top of that

it actually looks good and complement

your keychain because the last thing you

want is an eyesore in your pants

following that continuing the search for

awesome would this multi-angle stand

from creative is perfect not only for

the new iPad pro but just about every

tablet out there this one is crafted

from walnut but it's also available in

birch 2 and what I love about this is

that it's functional without being

overly complicated there are no settings

you need to mess with there are no tools

needed so if you want to adjust the

orientation you just simply rotate the

stand and most importantly even though

it's extremely lightweight is built

really well so you're not gonna have to

worry about knocking your tablet over so

if you've been looking for a tablet

stand but weren't sure which one to grab

this looks great it works as advertised

and not only this under 50 right now

it's under 30 now in past episodes of

tech under 50 I featured quite a few

wireless headphones so I thought it'd be

cool to mix it up and take a look at a

couple of high quality wired pairs the

first of the two are the HD ones from

status audio these are arguably the best

sounding headphones for under fifty

bucks

what's cool with these though is how

minimal they are they're extremely

stealthy with no logos or no branding so

they do a great job of not drawing

attention while still looking clean as

hell

there are also inline controls which

make these an awesome choice for the gym

and on top of that these are extremely

lightweight and don't get uncomfortable

when you're listening to music for

longer periods of time so initially it

was a ridiculous amount of positive

reviews on Amazon that got me interested

it made me order these but now that I

got them in hand and have tested them I

can wholeheartedly vouch for the quality

now if on your headphones aren't really

your thing these earbuds here which are

dub slide from zip bugs are a great

alternative and a really nice upgrade

from your stock headphones now like the

name implies this utilizes a zipper

design and what that does is help ensure

that it stays tangle free what's also

nice is the build quality the cables are

super thick and super strong so these

are going to withstand everyday abuse

whether you're throwing in your backpack

or your gym bag and I know every pair of

earbuds and headphones are different but

these happen to fit my ears extremely

well as far as sound quality goes these

are extremely bass heavy so if you're

not into headphones that are dominant

with the low end you might want to look

elsewhere but if you do like that bass

these are most likely exactly what

you're looking

for they are geared as sport headphones

but honestly I think they make a great

all-around pair they sound great they're

built even better and are perfect for

those who hate tangles now for those

who've been patiently waiting for that
