They boast clear, vibrant sound that helps bring games, videos, and music to life in a way your monitor and cheaper speakers can only dream of. They stay true to that sound profile even when you crank the volume up, without any distortion or crackling. One of the areas you're compromising on is the bass. A number of our other, more expensive speaker sets include a dedicated subwoofer, which makes a huge difference with those big explosions in your favorite game or movie,

Externally, the FoundIT looks like any other 12V in-car charger. It features two USB ports: a 20W max USB-C port and a 12W max USB-A port, both of which can be used together so you can charge two devices at once. Yes, there are out there better suited for charging bigger devices such as laptops -- but I'll bet most of us are more concerned about smartphones, tablets, or smartwatches. For these gadgets, it's more than enough power.

This 5,000mAh/19Wh wireless charging power bank is perfectly designed to fit the iPhone. It measures 4.0 x 2.7 x 0.4 in/102.7 x 68 x 11 mm and weighs 4.8 oz/137 g. The magnetic wireless charger is built to Qi2 standards, which means that it can output up to 15W of power for a fast charge. The magnets are also strong enough to securely hold the charger to the phone when in use.

The PrimeTrip VR2 Max is quite an impressive device. It has cords on the top. It's essentially a car charger with two retractable USB-C cables on the top. These cables can each extend out to 2.6 feet (80 centimeters) and can lock at various lengths. Baseus has built and tested the retraction system to handle over 10,000 smooth pulls and retractions, and in my testing, it has proven tough -- there's nothing to worry about when it comes to quality.

First off, this cable does everything it says it on the spec sheet. It actually carries 240W of power, which is saying something, as you'd be amazed how may I came across make that claim but in practice are limited to 100W, or even 60W. In my testing, however, I confirmed it can carry data at 40Gbps and video at 8K 60Hz, and is compatible with Thunderbolt 4 standards.

Chances are this does exactly what you need. It will play your old CDs, your new CDs, your homemade mixtapes, the whole nine yards. You can even listen wirelessly thanks to onboard Bluetooth. It's got a decent battery life that can last you up to six hours, and it uses a USB-C to recharge. We usually have one of those on hand.

I have a charging station on my nightstand that handles the overnight charging of my daily carry. My , , , and whatever or other I'm carrying gets its R&R time on it. But I didn't have anything equivalent for my desk -- until now. The Baseus Nomos NH21 245W 6-in-1 USB-C charging station is the perfect desktop charging station as it has enough power and outlets to handle all my devices.

There are a few things that I look for in a decent portable power bank. First, it has to do what it says on the box. If the battery capacity and power outputs aren't to spec, I don't want it. On top of that, wireless charging is a nice touch, as is a built-in cable. This is exactly what the Cuktech 10,000mAh power bank offers.

If you've ever been in a predicament where you've run out of battery at the worst time possible, you probably want to have a charger that's easier to use and access all the time, no matter where you are. But which one do you get, since there are so many out there and more being manufactured all the time? We've found a particularly good one that you won't want to miss, and it's on sale for an excellent price.

The Aukey MagFusion DeskHive 5X Pro is a 5-in-1 desktop charging station that tries to pull everything into one small cube. It combines four wired outputs, including two retractable USB-C cables, with a Qi2 25W magnetic wireless stand on top, all powered by a 200W GaN engine. The idea is that one object in arm's reach quietly replaces the pile of bricks and cables, sitting visibly on the desk instead of hiding behind the monitor.

The ConnectAir lets you cast from any USB-C device to any screen. It's a compact, plug-and-play device with no need for an app, driver, or Wi-Fi. Simply plug the USB-C transmitter into your laptop, tablet, or phone, and plug the HDMI receiver into your TV, monitor, or projector screen to start sharing. The HDMI receiver simply requires access to a USB-A port for power.

As often as I rely on USB-C cables to charge my devices or help with work, I hardly think about them. My mindset has been that they're all mostly the same with negligible differences. I usually throw them into my junk drawer and only take a cable out when needed. Plus, what improvements can you really make to smartphone cables?

I have spent years testing hundreds of portable chargers, and the Anker Laptop Power Bank is my current upgrade pick of the best power banks. This tasty (more than 30 percent discount) equals the lowest price I've seen for this charger. This high-capacity power bank can fast charge your phone, juice up your tablet, and even refill your laptop battery. It has a clever, practical design with built-in cables, plenty of speedy charging ports, and a handy display.

This intelligent power distribution system delivers the full 65W to a single connected device or splits the total wattage across multiple ports, depending on the needs of each. You can fast-charge a MacBook Air at maximum speed when it's the only device plugged in, reaching 50% battery in roughly an hour. Connect your laptop, phone, and AirPods simultaneously and the charger will apportion the right wattage to each device automatically.

As the tech has gotten better, prices have come down so you can get something really reliable for dirt cheap - especially when there is a sale. Right now, Amazon has this travel-ready Anker power bank with a 10,000mAh capacity for 40% off: The Anker PowerCore is normally priced at $29 (which isn't even all that expensive) and it is now available for just $15.

After debuting a matchbox-sized handheld called the Arduboy Mini and a banana-shaped version of the original Arduboy, creator Kevin Bates has announced a new model of Arduboy FX called the FX-C with some welcome upgrades and new color options. For the first time, the credit card-sized Arduboy now has a USB-C port for charging, syncing, and playing multiplayer games with a second device using an included USB-C cable, or any Thunderbolt 3 cable.

Too many USB-A ports when you need USB-C. No wireless charging. Or it has wireless charging but not enough wired ports. You're stuck buying what manufacturers think you need, not what you actually need. TobenOne flips that script entirely. It's a modular magnetic charging hub you build yourself. Snap on the modules you want, skip the ones you don't. Need more USB-C? Add a module. Upgrade your setup later? Swap it out. It's your desk, your devices, your rules.

The Nokia 800 Tough, a rugged feature phone, was released back in 2019, and according to a tipster on X, HMD is about to update the model with a second-generation offering some improvements. Design-wise, the rugged phone won't be any different from its predecessor, featuring roughly the same dimensions and a near-identical look. However, the micro USB port will be replaced with the modern USB-C connector, and the OS will be updated from KaiOS 2.5.2 to KaiOS 3.1.

Running out of battery in the middle of your day is one of those modern frustrations that can derail plans or leave you anxiously watching your phone percentage tick down. A portable charger solves that anxiety but most options are bulky bricks that take up valuable bag space. The INIU 10,000mAh power bank breaks that mold as one of the smallest portable chargers on the market and makes it easy to slip into any pocket or bag compartment.

Forgive us for making a sweeping assumption, but we're going to take a stab and say your car's phone-charging situation could use a massive upgrade. Maybe your USB ports are located in that impossible to reach compartment behind the shifter, or your overly long cord is constantly getting in the way. Any shortcomings you might be dealing with are instantly fixable for a tiny price while Amazon is running this limited-time $25 deal on the 75W Anker Nano Car Charger.
