[Open Discussion] What’s the best bit of tech you’ve bought recently?

I’m a huge tech fan. So thought I’d start a thread to see if anyone has bought anything cool recently! 

I’ll kick things off. 

I know a lot of people buy super expensive wireless headphones. But I bought this pair of these JLab Sports Go (Headphones) for £30, and I have to say I’m chuffed! 

Why do I think they’re great: 

  • Well, they were £30 not hundreds like some other options 
  • They stay in my ears when I exercise thanks to the comfortable hook design 
  • The audio is good enough - Not Apple Air Pods quality, but good enough 
  • The mic for calls is surprisingly useable 
  • The battery life is crazy good - I’m talking almost 2 days of heavy use 

I’ve attached some pic’s below in case anyone's interested. 

Look forward to hearing about everyone’s recommendations 😃!

    Best buy a Wavlink USB Dual Bay SATA HDD/SSD docking station at £23.19. This device allowed me to copy Windows 11 from my Toshiba HDD in my laptop to a Crucial SSD, thus speeding up startup on my HD laptop.

    I bought my first pad several months ago. It was the first OnePlus Pad and well worth the investment. Great specs and very fast. Looks wonderful too and performs really well.

    The best tech that I've recently got is my new Samsung 14 mobile phone. Its a brilliant cost effective phone for a really reasonable price.

    Smarty is the best but of mobile tech I purchased recently, so far better than the other providers.

     

     my download speeds are fantastic and in a 5g area as shown in the image above.  Using a Samsung a54 5g great.  Really happy with it and smarty allowing me to interface with the rest of the world with no restrictions.  Happy times.

    My most recent big tech purchase was a steam deck. It's allowed me to get back into a few gashes and it's an incredibly portable computer. Well worth the money.
