what's up guys been here from Authentech and today we're doing a little bit of a
different video I'm heading to the dollar store I just
love the dollar store there's so many unique crazy weird things you can get
firt over cheap and I've always seen that tech gadgets section there I want
to go buy some tech gadgets for a dollar and test them out let's review them and
see how good or bad they are personal mini fan that's electronic electronic
that's tech they don't want you alright mission complete I just bought a bag
full of dollar gadgets we got kicked out they didn't like us filming in there but
let's go back to the studio and put these little things to the test alright
we're back in the studio it's the next day we spent 14 bucks with tax on 14
items I kind of forgot what we got but I'm excited to test some of these things
out okay small technicality this isn't tech I actually use these in my garage
so forget that but now I got quite a few power extension things those aren't
really techie but I'll cover those all in one nice pairs of headphones a mini
powered speaker push light take this this I'm gonna say best for last a
wide-angle smartphone lamp now you guys know the LGV 30 with that wide angle is
my favorite but maybe this will replace it I won't even need the LG anymore for
a wide angle so again none of this stuff is really bleeding edge but sometimes
when you're just in a pinch you need a audio splitter or some headphones for an
upcoming trip and you don't have time to grab something on Amazon or somewhere
else so for a buck will an easiest thing fold up I mean look at this a six-foot
extension cord on Amazon we're going 899 13.9 six dollars this is $1 I don't know
if you can beat it now it might not be ul certified but alright so for this
first grouping of items it's just basic power strips and extension blocks but I
actually use these all throughout my office
and home at least this brings it away from the outlet just a little bit so you
can squeeze in your plugin honestly for a buck each all these power gadgets I
give him my recommendation moving on we've got the personal mini fan look at
that a nice little carrying strap all right takes just two double-a batteries
and oh baby okay that's nice this is especially good for the kids the little
foam fins don't hurt you not bad and sure why not up next we've got two pairs
of headphones this one over here says it's earphones with microphone line
built in that's sweet and then these over here these are those old-school
ones but I kind of want to know how good or bad quality they sound okay that's
actually pretty good length I like that check out these ergonomic s' I gotta
keep reminding myself man these things are only 8 buck for some small low lay
blends on your left and right headphone jack
imagine that hmm look at that inline volume controls that work that's fancy
let's try making a call real quick hey babe how's it going how's the audio
quality uh-huh the wife says it's really good all right thanks she said she would
have never guessed that it was dollar-store headphones I'm giving these
a pass again audio quality it's not amazing but again for a dollar not
terrible no let's try these headphones real quick these are those sweet
old-school ones look at that rotatable labeled left and right for your
convenience expandable to fit a variety of head sizes okay so these are kind of
winging out on me a little bit maybe behind Wow Wow these are much better
more balanced sound there's a little bit of that deep lows bass which is nice
yeah just a nice balanced sound for a dollar really good again doesn't have
that microphone feature but these sound better than the other ones nice long
cable I like that it's in conclusion I like these I'll give them a pass
surprisingly low audio splitter use two sets of headphones at the same time from
one audio device sometimes when I'm jumping on an airplane I need one of
these to listen or watch the same movie with the wife you know alright let's see
as audio coming out of both of them it works nice and simple audio splitter $4
I like it alright one last sound gadget it's a mini powered speaker thing feels
pretty cheap too triple-a batteries hi this is Sam through the external speaker
and this is through the LGB 30 not great quality but please don't demonetised me
for those songs alright so I give the speaker uh it's okay maybe like a c-plus
not an F so it's gonna be late worse so here's a USB car charger it's only
pumping out one am so it's gonna be a slow trickle charge maybe an emergency
this could work for you plug my phone in the red LED lamp and it is charging it
works push light super cheaply hey but we need
more batteries oh that's pretty dim I'm not sure if you can even tell that's on
that's off will activate studio off there we go ready go
all right so this one I might've debunked looks like you can get a four
pack on Amazon for 338 so $1 for this one not so good I do not recommend we'll
just see that this one doesn't even turn on they're nuts now last but definitely
not least this is a clip on a wide-angle smartphone lens clips onto your phone
easy use works with most smartphones I think it's glass there's a little foam
there so it doesn't destroy that back in their lands
well clip on cover sinking right so this is with my regular lens hey there's a
little bit of infringing softness on there but it definitely is wide-angle no
this is with the clip-on lens now let's switch to my LG V 30 wide-angle yeah you
can't beat that and so that's the with the rear-facing you could always clip
this on to your front facing camera as well that is not bad for a $1 do what
getting better than I expected all right so that brings us to the
conclusion what's good and what's not against some of the headphones are not
bad this thing played a little bit louder than your built-in speakers on
your cell phone the wide-angle lenses a little soft on the edges some infringing
maybe but it actually worked okay as I mentioned in the beginning all
these power strips are super helpful the LED touch lamp in skip this these are
cheaper on Amazon I found and this thing is so in the end all this stuff each
thing is only a dollar that's pretty insane that they're able to make it for
less than that and still make profit what are some other cheap tech gadget
items that you guys want me to test out let me know down in the comments now
