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

hey guys johnathan here welcome back to

the best Tech on her 50 galaxy s7

edition so first up are the August EP

636 headphone which are not only

wireless but also feature NFC they come

in a handful of colors but specifically

I really dig how the silver pair

complements the darker galaxy s7 and on

top of that there's inline controls a

built-in mic in really solid battery

life most of the time you will get more

than 10 hours now if there were any

negatives with these headphones I would

pinpoint that on the build quality it's

not bad by any means but it does leave a

little to be desired

that aside though not only are these

under 50 right now they are under 40

when you pair that with the fact that

they sound way better than you'd ever

expect for the price it's kind of a

no-brainer if you're looking for upgrade

over your stock headphones so next up if

you like Wireless things and you like

wood this is for you yes wireless

charging isn't new because of that I'm

sure you've seen a ton of wireless

chargers what I like about this though

is there's no sweet spot you gotta

aimlessly search for you simply set the

phone down from there the cool blue LED

will let you know it's charging and you

are good to go

you will however need to pair it with a

wall charger that outputs at least 1.5

amps higher is obviously better and when

I'm using is from Al key features quick

charge it is currently under 10 bucks

now for those of you out there saying

wait a second as a wall charger there's

a cable that is not truly wireless

charging don't worry I got you the names

a little ridiculous but the best fire

two-in-one wireless Qi charger is kind

of awesome for starters this is not just

a wireless charger inside is a 10,000

plus milliamp hour external battery so

once this guy is juiced up there is

legitimate wireless charging going on

it's designed so your phone sits off at

an angle so at first you kind of

question how stable it is but it's

grippy as hell and because of that works

exceptionally well now if not all of

your devices support wireless charging

there is also a good old trusty wired

USB output so no matter what you're

charging these are whether it's wired or

Wireless this has you covered so next up

this is equivalent to those who have

gotten their entire lives only eating

vanilla ice cream because I'm about to

introduce you to rocky road what I mean

by this is if you've only used stock USB

cables and never experienced a braided

ten-foot one you've been missing out now

as a general rule of thumb if you can

jump rope with your USB cable that is

gonna lead to a good time

on a serious note if you do prefer wire

versus wireless charging having the

extra length and freedom and flexibility

is really nice

whether you're kicking back on a couch

or simply just charging your phone at

night this is a great addition to your

tech arsenal so next up as many of you

are aware finally microSD card

expandability is back on the galaxy s7

and with that we're about to make some

storage gains now one thing to keep in

mind is that prices on micro SD and SD

cards for that matter fluctuate like

crazy so do be cognizant of that and

make sure you're actively checking for

the best price in this case the scoop of

one from Patriot which is 128 gigabytes

for 35 bucks but if you happen to not

need that much storage or you need more

or something faster I will post a few

different options down below regardless

though picking up a micro SD card is

almost a no-brainer with the galaxy s7

because even though the phone may

technically have 32 gigs of storage a

good chunk of that is taken up by the OS

following that we're going to take a

look at a couple case options for the

galaxy i7 and first up is from case

ologies wavelength series this has a

really awesome grippy textured feel to

it and really hits all the important

points you'd want with a case there are

two layers so it's going to help with

impact and draw protection and it's

going to do that without being super

bulky or being an eyesore now the other

case is from subcase and this is from

the unicorn beetle series this is

definitely a little bulkier out of the

two but if you want a little more impact

protection and want a little bit of that

transparent vibe this is a fantastic

option

what's also awesome with this case is a

the price it is currently under fifteen

bucks and be you are getting great lip

protection so if you're someone who

prefers to set your phone down

face-first you are not going to have to

worry now the camera on the galaxy s7 is

incredible so I wanted to pick out some

tech that would complement that and upon

searching for that I found what is now

one of my favorite video accessories

ever

this is amigo splat which is a flexible

mini tripod now at first glance it kind

of looks like a propeller but the magic

is in the flexibility because of how

lightweight and how you can maneuver it

it really allows you to mount your

camera or in this case your phone and

places that you normally never could

now this is not going to be everything

you need just by itself you are going to

have to buy something to mount your

camera onto this so what I'm using is

the shoulder pod s flown with a killer

camera package for smartphones there are

definitely cheaper options out there but

the quality of this combined with the

flexible tripod is money plus on top of

that even if you didn't want the tripod

as a standalone piece of tech that'll

double as a wrist straps you're not

gonna have to worry about dropping your

phone and on top of that it's going to

help add a little bit more stability to

your shot in my case so the combination

of the s1 the flexible tripod and the

galaxy s7 is an amazing combo so if I'm

moving around it's going to make it a

lot nicer walk around a little bit and

you can see this little contraption

actually makes for a really killer

portable setup

so thank you guys very much for watching

hopefully enjoy the video if you did you

want to see more like this make sure to

smash that like button I have a handful

of previous tech on our 50s if you
