[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 😃!

I had a pair of jlab headphones and yes they are really good especially for the price. I have to say though I recently took the plunge and got the Samsung earbuds pro and they are just amazing. The sound quality, the fit, the noise cancelling is serious impressive. I complete advocate for both however if you have the money and spend a fair bit of time in the gym I'd say get the pros you will not be disappointed. On that note they are definitely my fave bit of tech kit at the moment.
These look Great would love those and will put them on my Birthday list...
A 4G+ WiFi router with the Smarty unlimited data to replace my BT broadband 😁
I'm keeping an eye on that. My in-laws already use a 4G wifi router as their broadband is slower than a snail (2Mb on a good day). Even though I am rural, I'm about 1 mile away from being able to receive 5G - grrr - so close and yet so far!
I've had a Mi Band 6 NFC for a while and was interested in something bigger ie the screen, 1stly tried a Garmin vivoactive 3 not bad but screen was much, then tried an Oppo 46mm watch better screen size tho software clunky, and lastly which I feel ill keep is the Xiaomi S1 active and the screens fantastic + has a barometer & altitude guage built in too, good deal as well @ £112 👌
I literally just bought the Asus ZenFone 9, and I've got to say it's amazing.
I tried the s22, but screen refresh rate was nowhere near 120, and it didn't feel great. This phone, though, is something. It's snappy, has amazing battery life, and is small...
My wife has just very generously treated me to the new Galaxy watch 5 pro, i had the original galaxy watch since they 1st came out and I have to say what an amazing upgrade. I loved my original watch so i am shocked at how much better this one is, from the build quality to the apps and things the watch can do. Which is far too much to list here but as you can possibly tell I really like my new gift. I have all the health apps etc but if anyone can suggest an app that they like for their own smartwatch please do not be shy and let me know.
Love the strava app on mine for ease of use whilst running with the breakdown of distance and speed with route options.
Steam deck. It's brilliant being able to play pc games on a handheld device.
Bought some Philips Hue lights for my daughter, they are brilliant so far, so many options and possibilities for addons around the house.
Had to Google them but they look super cool, thanks for sharing👍
Mine is my upgrade to an Apple Watch Ultra. As a keen long distance runner I only take my watch to stream music, track the run and other bits alongside my AirPods. Only reason I never took them on a half or full marathon is due to the battery. The Ultra beats that hands down!
I’ve had 70 hours of battery with my phone near and around 17 on its own. Plenty of battery!!!!
Yes, I have one of the Galaxy Watches (2 or 3) gathering dust somewhere. Really enjoyed it initially but battery life and the need to recharge constantly just killed it for me.
I bought a BOSE soundbar for my TV from Amazon, it was a bargain at £149 as it's normally £230. Great sound quality and nice and compact too.
Love the way you can program the bose hand control too use on your tv as well.
Great buy! І have purchased a JBL Bar 2.0 soundbar from Currys for £79 just a few days ago. It's an entry level in the world of soundbars but the experience is life changing 🎶
Huge upgrade from the standard TV speakers.
