The Best Tech Under $50 - October 2015 #Helpful Post

from an ultra portable Bluetooth speaker

to wireless charging to a 2015 refresh

on a childhood classic welcome back to

the best tech under 50 so what's up guys

Johnathan here and first up is the

follow-up to arguably one of the best

sub $50 pieces of tech ever the 2015

chromecast gone is a stick design and in

is a giant skittle hockey puck beats

headphone hybrid that is so bright you

might need glasses

the original chromecast featured the

HDMI output directly on the end of the

stick which could be a little bit of a

pain if the HDMI ports on your TV were

in the ideal place but the 2015

chromecast improves upon that with a

flexible HDMI cable which attaches

magnetically for easy storage setup is

cake you just plug the chromecast in the

HDMI and then power through USB with

either your TV or the included power

adapter the core functionality of the

new chromecast remains the same but some

welcome improvements include 802 11 HD

Wi-Fi which includes support for five

gigahertz networks your smartphone or

tablet becomes a control center where

you can then stream content from

basically a million apps including

YouTube Hulu HBO GO ESPN and of course

Netflix for you perverts out there now

if your rocket Android you can also cast

your entire screen to the TV or even

websites with your laptop it's not a

massive update but the new chromecast is

faster than ever and it's still the best

inexpensive way to turn your non Smart

TV into a smart one next up we're going

to get a little nostalgic for a second

and if you've ever used viewmaster as a

kid this is the 2015 version which

features Google cardboard and big thanks

to Mattel for making this video possible

its iOS and Android compatible works on

just about every flagship phone out

there and works by integrating your

smartphone into the retro-looking

viewmaster just like the original you're

able to navigate with that classic view

master lever and on top of the included

starter pack there are also bonus packs

ranging from the National Geographic

wildlife to outer space this here is the

National Geographic pack and right from

the get-go you get a little augmented

reality action where the experience

wheels turn into these mini three

islands where you can then select from

different content dude I feel like Iron

Man hey come on just a Jaguar is that a

monkey geez that guy oh you got a bird

that's like yogurt being you're immersed

in a 3d world we can access photos

videos facts or even a minigame where

you

on a mission to find and take pictures

of different animals a banana pots a

parrot is there like a like an ape fight

mr. Jackie cannot industries any monkey

why you're not scared you're gonna get

chewed I'm taking the picture now I know

this is geared for kids but I'm not

gonna lie I had fun with this and if I

had this when I was a kid

mind blown so we want to introduce a

little tech with education that's

actually fun for your kid this is the

way to go you'll both have fun and

you'll probably be one of the coolest

parents out there following that is the

spigen wireless Qi charging pad which

not only under 50 bucks right now it's

under 30 now it separates this stock is

the stand implementation where as with

most wireless chargers you have to set

your phone down whereas this brings back

some functionality inside the dock our

three coils and what that means in

simple terms you can wirelessly charge

your phone either vertically or

horizontally there's an LED light

towards the bottom which is nice because

it'll let you know if your phone is

actually charging or not and overall

it's just a nice simple clean way to add

a little bit of style to your desk and

also declutter at the same time do keep

in mind that the power adapter is

separate and they do recommend a two amp

version for the best result so if you

don't have one I will also link one of

those down below after that is a super

compact super portable wireless

bluetooth speaker from Sony that fits in

your hand for starters it is NFC

equipped so if your phone supports that

you have insanely fast pairing you get a

five hour battery auxilary and just in

case you need to use with older devices

speaker phone functionality and what's

really cool is the output sound 360

degrees to ice the cake you get a sweet

little travel bag and I've always been

really pleased with Sony when it comes

to audio so if you're not happy with

your smartphone audio which you more

than likely shouldn't be this is a

fantastic inexpensive way to increase

your audio quality without taking up a

ton of space in your bag next up is for

you galaxy note 5 users out there and if

you've been looking for a case urban

armor gear is one of my favorite case

manufacturers they're tough they're

durable and they're not going to break

the bank what I dig about this is that

is going to add protection without a lot

of bulk or weight to your phone the

cutouts from the port's to the camera

are super clean and one of my biggest

gripes with the Galaxy Note 5 was the

slipperiness and this for sure

alleviates that now if you're not a--not

5 users are also available for pretty

much every other flagship out there and

they come in a ton of color so you will

more than likely find something that

suits your style close out the list is

this a pac-man ghost light which is

ridiculously awesome

it's

usb-powered with two modes standard

which was circle through all 16 colors

and then party mode which will change

colors and react to the music you're

playing it looks great on your desk your

bookshelf basically anywhere and if

you're a fan of pac-man this is

something you definitely got to pick up

aside from that that wraps the video
