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

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
