00:00I've got 15 of the best products that will genuinely make your life a hundred times easier and even make
00:05you more productive
00:06They're all under a hundred bucks with most of them being under 30 bucks, too
00:09So you have no excuse not to get at least one item from this list
00:14First up is this tiny IR remote controller adapter for your smartphone selling for just under $15 and it's super
00:20useful
00:21Because you just plug into your phone
00:23It doesn't matter if it's iPhone or an Android and then suddenly your phone becomes a universal remote
00:29So you can control pretty much anything including TVs, heaters, air conditioners, fans, you name it
00:36If it uses infrared this can probably control it and it's even got an app called Zaza remote
00:42Where it lets you save every device with preset controls so you can easily control almost every button on your
00:49device
00:49Plus my favorite thing about it is that it comes with this little case
00:52So you can just throw it on a keychain to take it with you anywhere you go
00:56Definitely a must-have then from there. I got this sync pen digital notebook set selling for around 80 bucks
01:02And this is for anyone who loves writing on real paper, but also wants everything saved digitally
01:07So you're actually using a real pen and a real notebook
01:11But every single stroke gets captured and synced to an app in real time
01:16So as you're writing it's already showing up digitally on your phone or tablet, which is insane
01:22Plus the notebook even has these little icons at the bottom that you can pretend to tap and in the
01:27app
01:27It'll let you switch the colors the stroke size and a lot more. It's really smart
01:32Plus what I also love is that the pen actually has a built-in storage
01:35So even if you're not connected to your phone, it'll automatically save everything you wrote and sync it later to
01:41the app
01:42Pretty great and on top of that as if that wasn't enough the pen even has a voice recording feature
01:47Which is super clutch for meetings. You can record audio while writing and later you can tap on a specific
01:53word in your notes
01:54And it'll jump to what's being said at that exact moment
01:58That's actually crazy useful and on top of that. Don't worry. There's no subscription
02:02It has unlimited cloud storage and everything searchable to inside the app
02:06Which makes it feel way more powerful than just a regular notebook
02:11Okay, listen, I won't bother you too much
02:13But that was only two out of the 15 things in this video and I got to be real with
02:17you
02:18This top tech series has been by far the hardest and most time-consuming stuff that I make for the
02:23channel
02:23And the ironic part is that it doesn't get nearly as much love or views as some of my other
02:29videos
02:29So here's the deal if you want me to actually keep making these do me a solid and just watch
02:34the whole video to help out with the watch time
02:36And on top of that throw up a thumbs up on it and drop a comment to that kind of
02:40stuff
02:41Just genuinely makes me want to keep the series going and I promise you guys that you won't regret sticking
02:46around
02:46I personally picked every single product in this list
02:49No brands got involved to no weird deals besides the actual sponsor of this video
02:55But that doesn't count to the 15 list just stuff. I actually think is cool
02:59Plus I take the best one for last so definitely don't click off early appreciate you guys
03:04Next up. I've got rechargeable light bulbs for around 30 bucks for a pack of six
03:09That's right folks. We're in the future now and these are a must-have for emergencies
03:13They screw into a normal socket so they work just like any regular bulb
03:18But they've also got a built-in battery
03:20So let's say the power goes out these actually stay on for about three to five hours still
03:26It's pretty genius
03:27And on top of that, they're also pretty bright
03:30They light up any room properly and they're very energy efficient at just nine watts
03:35And for the actual color temperature, it's 6500 K which is this white light
03:40So it's not dim or yellow and what's cool too is you can unscrew them from the socket and use
03:46this included cap
03:47To be able to turn them on freely without any connection. It's pretty great
03:51And on top of that it has this little hook so that way you can turn them into a portable
03:55light and hang them from anywhere
03:57It's really useful for around 30 bucks for a pack of six
04:01This is just one of those simple upgrades that make your house just way more prepared
04:05Next up is this UV toothbrush sanitizer holder priced under $30
04:10And I love this thing because it adhesively mounts right onto the bathroom wall and holds up to two toothbrushes
04:16To not only keep them off the dirty bathroom counter, but also keep them clean and dry too
04:22That's right
04:23I can just wave my hand to have it open the plastic curtains and then from there
04:27I place my toothbrush inside and then it'll close the covers and it starts up a UV-C light combined
04:33with warm air
04:34To dry it off and help reduce buildup on the toothbrush and keep the bristles dry and fresh
04:40Works like a charm and I don't even need to touch the device too. It's all hands-free
04:44And on top of that you don't even need to plug it into anything since it's rechargeable with USB-C
04:50A really great way to keep your toothbrushes nice and clean very easily
04:54Next up is this magnetic tool holder for under 15 bucks
04:57This basically clips onto your belt and then it has a strong magnetic strip to hold your tools in place
05:04And it's really strong. I can literally put a hammer on it and it'll hold it in place, which is
05:09crazy
05:10It also works with pliers screwdrivers
05:14Screws you name it
05:15So your tools are right next to your waist right when you need them
05:19And I gotta say it's been very convenient when I'm doing quick home projects and whenever I need to climb
05:24up ladders, too
05:25From there, I really like this Ugreen 100 watt retractable cable for under 12 bucks
05:30This is a USB-C to USB-C cable that is retractable at up to 3.3 feet and can
05:37charge at up to 100 watts
05:39Which comes in clutch when you're on the go
05:41When you want to use it you just pull out the cables from both ends and it lets you adjust
05:46different lengths
05:47And then you can just give it a small pull to snap it back in when you're done with it
05:51No more messy cables in your bag or on your desk
05:54It's great and I know there are way cheaper alternatives out there
05:58I mean trust me, I've shown off a DIY version for around four bucks a few episodes back
06:03But I just really like the build quality on this one
06:05It just feels way more premium and it's a lot easier to use, too
06:09This next tool is for any smartphone enthusiast
06:11It's called the Hagabiz SIM card tray removal tool costing around eight dollars
06:15It's basically this tiny little metal capsule that you can just put on your keychain
06:20And when you unscrew one side you just reveal this tiny SIM ejector tool to let you easily take the
06:26SIM card tray out from any phone
06:28And then on the other side you get this little brush to clean out your phone speaker grills
06:32Charging ports and even earbuds without damaging anything
06:36Pretty nifty little tool that you can carry around anywhere
06:40It comes in handy if you travel a lot or when you need to switch phones and you're out of
06:44the house
06:45Now before moving on, if you're planning to buy regular glasses this year, don't
06:49Why get something outdated when you can get something even better
06:51Like these Halliday AI glasses who are sponsoring this video
06:55They look completely normal like any regular everyday glasses
06:59But there's a private display hidden inside called the digi window
07:03And once you put them on, it gives you this invisible 3.5 inch screen in the upper right corner
07:07of your vision
07:08Which may sound small on paper, but it's actually perfectly crisp and legible
07:13So unlike other smart glasses with displays
07:15There's no light leaking out, no weird reflections, and no rainbow effect
07:19They're also fully compatible with prescription lenses
07:22And you can actually order them with your specific RX directly from their site
07:26Which makes them a legitimate replacement for anyone's daily glasses
07:30Now here's the cool part
07:31Inside the software, you'll be able to see your phone's notifications
07:35Completely hands-free
07:36So you can stay updated without constantly pulling out your phone
07:40You can also switch to a cheat sheet mode that works like a mini teleprompter for presentations
07:44You can record audio memos and get transcripts and AI summaries sent to your phone
07:50And even get real-time translation in over 4a languages
07:53Which is super useful when traveling
07:55Plus my favorite thing is the AI smart assistant
07:58It basically combines reactive support
08:00Like answering questions when you ask it
08:02With contextual intelligence that proactively helps you out in real-time
08:07Like if you're in a meeting and your boss asks you a question
08:10The AI will instantly surface relevant answers
08:13Or if someone gives you some info, the AI will double-check it
08:16Just small things like that genuinely made these super helpful in the real world
08:20Plus controlling everything is really simple too
08:22There's multiple ways to do it
08:24You can navigate by touching the frame temple using the built-in touch bar
08:28Or if you want something even more discreet
08:30You can use the ring control on your finger
08:32And do subtle gestures to start navigating the UI
08:35So you never have to touch the glasses or look awkward using them
08:39And for privacy, there's no camera at all too
08:42Which also helps out with the battery life
08:44You can get over 12 hours on a single charge which is incredible
08:47Plus they're also really comfortable too since they're so lightweight
08:51They weigh just 28.5 grams which is still incredibly light for any everyday pair of glasses
08:57And they're easy to wear all day
08:58So if you want a more discreet way to get information without constantly pulling out your phone
09:04Definitely check out the Halliday AI glasses
09:06Their official website is live now and orders are already shipping
09:10I'll leave the link at the top of the description if you want to check them out
09:13Next up is the Wubin G5 and it's around 30 bucks
09:17It's this super tiny flashlight that's seriously powerful
09:20It pumps out up to 400 lumens with a beam distance of around 82 meters
09:24Yet it's still small enough to throw on a keychain or even in your pocket without you even noticing it
09:31It's great
09:32You can even mount it onto your hat too which is fantastic if you like to do nighttime walks or
09:37runs
09:37Plus it even has two different lights to choose from
09:40You have your main white lights with adjustable brightness
09:43And then an RGB light that changes to about any color that you'd like
09:48Plus it's even got other modes too like letting you have a warning flash mode or you can even dim
09:53the light too
09:54Plus the head also rotates 180 degrees so you can angle the light any way you'd like
09:59And the entire thing too is magnetic so you can even stick it onto any metal surface for hands-free
10:05use
10:05Plus if you're out in the rain and you're walking around it's IP65 water resistance
10:11So don't worry about that
10:12For how compact this thing is it's seriously impressive
10:15Next if you ever tried screwing something in and the screw just keeps falling off the bit
10:20This magnetic screw ring is around 14 bucks and fixes that instantly
10:25It slides right onto your standard 1 4th inch hex screwdriver bit
10:29And magnetizes the screw so it stays locked in place while you're drilling or assembling something
10:35And when I put on screws on it too it really sticks like I can even hold the screwdriver upside
10:41down
10:41And it'll still hold it
10:42It's especially helpful too in tight places where you can't use your other hand to hold the screw steady
10:48Plus it's made of stainless steel it's super durable and you can even remove it easily if you need to
10:53swap bits
10:54Super handy for any construction workers or if you're doing home projects
10:58Alright these right here are the brightest flashlights in a tiny form factor that I found
11:02And they're only around 15 bucks and you can actually get two in the pack
11:07These things are small enough to fit in your pocket too
11:09But the upgraded LED inside is insanely bright
11:12Like it can light up your whole backyard
11:14It literally gets up to 700 lumens and it's just under 6 inches long
11:19Which is insane for a flashlight this small
11:22They've got a bunch of different modes too
11:24And you can even adjust the focus by sliding the head to switch between a wide floodlight
11:29Or a tight spotlight beam
11:31I love these for keeping one in the car or one in the backpack too
11:34It's great
11:35If you travel even a couple times a year
11:37These 4-in-1 travel bottles are under 15 bucks
11:40And they just make packing way cleaner
11:43Instead of carrying 4 separate bottles for shampoo, conditioner, lotion, and whatever else
11:48This combines everything into one compact container with separate chambers and labels
11:53And when you want to use one you just open the cap and press down to disperse
11:58Plus don't worry it's got a double anti-lake design so you're not opening your suitcase to a disaster
12:03And the clear body with measurement markings let you see exactly how much you have left
12:08It's the details that count
12:09It's a must-have for any time you travel
12:11Moving on this digital pin is around 40 bucks
12:15And it's basically a wearable mini screen that you can pin onto your hoodie, backpack, or jacket
12:20Instead of a regular badge
12:22This has a small touch display where you can swipe between different designs right on the pin itself
12:28You can even upload photos, logos, or even animated GIFs through the app
12:33And you can store a bunch of them to switch depending on your mood or event
12:36I actually think this is super cool for festivals, tech events, or even just repping your own brand in a
12:42more eye-catching way
12:43The only downside is that you'll need to keep it charged like any regular small gadget
12:48But as a conversation starter, this thing is definitely unique
12:52If you ever try to get real work done on your phone or tablet
12:55This foldable Bluetooth keyboard is around 30 bucks and makes a huge difference
12:59It's literally so small and folds down that it will fit in your pocket
13:03Which is crazy
13:04But when you open it up, it's also a full-size keyboard
13:07So typing actually feels normal
13:09And it even has a built-in touchpad so you can control your device without needing a mouse
13:14Which is super convenient
13:16Battery life is solid too
13:18Up to 48 hours on a single charge
13:20And it connects to pretty much anything
13:22iOS, Android, or Windows
13:24Super practical if you like to travel light
13:27Next, this underpillow speaker is around 30 bucks
13:30And it's a must-have if you want to listen to music or soundscapes when you sleep
13:35But headphones are just too annoying to wear
13:37You just place the speaker under your pillow
13:39And it sends sound directly to your ear
13:42So the person next to you barely hears anything
13:45And don't worry, it won't get hot or dangerous under a pillow
13:48Because there are no traditional speaker components that generate heat
13:52Plus, I even love that it has built-in white noise, nature sounds, and lullabies
13:56Or you can even connect via Bluetooth and play whatever you want from your phone
14:00There's even a timer too so it shuts off automatically
14:03And a small LED screen so you can see what mode you're in
14:07Pretty great if you need help falling asleep
14:10If your desk is just a mess of cables
14:12This 12-in-1 desktop charging station is around 93 bucks
14:16And it basically replaces your entire power setup
14:19You're getting four AC outlets, four USB-C ports, and even four built-in retractable 40-watt cables
14:26All in one hub
14:27So you can power pretty much anything like your laptop, phone, tablet, you name it
14:32And like I said, it's got retractable cables
14:34Which are incredible for keeping everything nice and tidy
14:37They only extend when you need them and snap back in to keep your desk nice and clean
14:42Plus, check this out
14:43Each port is a charging brick that you can actually pull out
14:46And it turns into a mini charger too
14:48So that means you can swap out different charger types
14:51I've got one for micro USB
14:53A lightning port one as well
14:55For older iPhones
14:56And two USB-C ports too for regular newer devices
15:00It's really amazing
15:01And I have it set up in the living room for when I have company over
15:04And for anyone who needs to charge their phone
15:07Because that always happens
15:09Anyway, hope you enjoyed all the tech within this video
