**Wireless Earbuds and Charging Options**

If you're looking to upgrade your earbuds, there are several options available on the market. One popular choice is the CMF buds, which offer great value for their price. These earbuds work well with phones and have decent battery life, making them a great option for those who want a reliable pair of earbuds without breaking the bank.

In terms of audio quality, the CMF buds sound decent, with a bassy kick that's hard to ignore. The noise cancellation is also surprisingly good, considering the affordable price point. One of the standout features of these earbuds is their ability to quickly access chat functions on compatible phones. This allows you to quickly ask AI questions or engage in conversations with your phone.

Another cool feature of the CMF buds is the dial that can be attached to a lanyard, making it easy to keep track of them. The earbuds are also designed to be functional as fidgets, providing a calming and soothing experience for users.

For those who want a more premium option, there's the newer version of these earbuds, which costs around $60. This updated model includes improved active noise cancellation, additional features, but at a higher price point.

**Beats Solo Buds**

If you're looking to invest in a brand-name earbud, the Beats Solo buds are a great option. These earbuds sound pretty good and have a sleek design that's hard to resist. One of the standout features of these earbuds is their carrying case, which has a transparent look that's both stylish and functional.

While the Beats Solo buds don't offer active noise cancellation or wireless charging, they're still a great option for those who want a reliable pair of earbuds without breaking the bank. The price point is competitive, with these earbuds only costing around $80.

**Portable Power Options**

When it comes to portable power options, there's nothing quite like having a convenient and reliable cable that can charge your devices on the go. Jay recently came across a 800-watt cable that caught his eye, featuring both USBC and lightning adapters for maximum flexibility.

This cable is incredibly durable, with high-quality materials that make it last long. One of the standout features of this cable is its ability to be easily detached and reattached, making it easy to store or travel with. The cable also comes with an adhesive backing that makes it easy to attach to laptops or other devices.

Another personal item that Jay owns is a set of kickstands from Alu, which can elevate your laptop experience when working in class. These small stands are incredibly convenient and can be attached to the back of any laptop using an adhesive.

Overall, these earbuds and charging options offer great value for their price. Whether you're looking for a reliable pair of earbuds or a portable power solution, there's something on this list that's sure to meet your needs.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enwe got the best tech for back to school but on a budget so we've got our backpack for the new year this is from a company called bang but I like the backpack though this is actually a pretty solid bag considering it's just 60 bucks now first and foremost I love the fact that it's got that slim profile with some nice functionality too one thing I do like is that this thing is super padded but it's also made out of this material so if you happen to get caught in the rain you don't really have to worry about your Tech too much and considering how you know Compact and small it looks it does a pretty good job at holding stuff now the only thing I don't like is the laptop compartment it goes all the way flat people tend to like this kind of feature for traveling I'm personally not a fan in case my laptop just happens to fall all the way back it's not a deal breaker though just don't zip it all the way down so over here we have a laptop in a laptop sleeve now if you guys caught the baller edition of this video you might have seen that we had a really cool Journey laptop sleeve that has some cool features just pretty much copies it but on the low low so you don't pay the price that you would with like the journey sleeve but you still get some of the cool functionality so I like the fact that it has like that felt material as well as like this faux leather and then you can pull out your laptop now what's also cool is that it has a charging port because you can go ahead and plug this into a charger and you have access to wireless charging and even mag safe over here and you can also throw in your airpods right there to charge as you do your work now this does cost $47.99 but what I like about this is that unlike the journey version it has this little area in the back so if you want to carry just your laptop and maybe some papers or some pens and some you know other stuff you might want to take to school uh this gives you a little bit more flexibility ility so it can be the only thing that you're carrying to class now I'm going to wrap this up but the last thing I like about these laptop sleeves is that if you have a mouse while you're charging and doing whatever you can use it as a mouse pad now the laptop that we've got over here and and stick with me guys is the M1 MacBook Air you can still pick this up I saw it just on Walmart today for 650 bucks that is a great deal for a great laptop uh you're still getting great battery life performance is going to be more than good enough for your typical schoolwork you can even do some photo editing video editing this thing is definitely going to be able to handle more than the regular user's tasks so if you want to do a little bit more get your feet into some professional work or maybe some serious programming or some sort you can get started here without an issue now on the window side of things if you're not an Apple user I'm struggling here so your boy is a fan of these new co-pilot Plus PCS but they're not cheap so over here I've got the Microsoft Surface laptop now this is the 15in version but they start at $9.99 so like 1,000 bucks now the reason why I like them so much especially the surface is that it is a high quality device and you get access to co-pilot I said it in my baller Edition video I think co-pilot is going to pretty much be a game changer in how students handle most of the work that they're going to be doing so I like that it's built in you have access access to it with just the Press of a button and it has the new Snapdragon chips that will get you great performance as well as really great battery life great screen touchcreen I know 1,000 bucks is a little bit in that midrange not just super budget friendly but if you can spring for it that's what I recommend now one thing that I do like about this backpack is you can see I was easily able to have two of those laptops while still having a spot for a tablet if I wanted to include one shocking shocking J doesn't have like a third Computing device like a tablet in here but if you do happen to carry a tablet or maybe even a notebook you got that storage right here now here's something I don't typically add to these videos and that is a phone so over here we have the cmf phone one this is by nothing so if you're familiar with the nothing smartphones they look really cool 200 bucks you guys how it's a head scratcher so if you don't want to invest a ton of money maybe you need something to hold you over maybe you're getting a phone for a young kid or something you can't go wrong with this and it is running Android and it's got like this nice custom skin to it it looks really clean I'm not mad at the way that this looks at all one thing that I also really like about this is the back plate can come off so if you want to switch up your style maybe one day you know you want to switch up your phone you want to have it match certain outfits they offer a few different color options that you can just completely remove Mo the back and change it up now we know in school you got to have that drip you want to make sure that this matches you know apply some pressure have your aura on 100 yeah yeah Jean huh yeah how do you do fellow kids what so yeah switch it up and and stay fresh y'all this is also removable try not to lose it and you can add some extra accessories these are features you don't even see on like mainstream smartphones it's kind of crazy so you can go ahead and add something like a stand if you want to watch your content you can kind of do like this if you want to take a call or something you can do that now of course you're not going to get any crazy specs here you're not going to expect super wild photos uh but you get a fully functional version of Android that works well considering it's only 200 bucks now I don't know how many of you guys are using external storage in class uh but I think it's always safe to have important documents if you're not using uh the cloud to save your stuff an SSD is going to be super helpful if you're on a budget and you can't really spring for a large hard drive but yeah this is a sand disc extreme portable this one is a special addition to a really cool comic that I'll have linked down below this is like a no-brainer but you get some solid space in that back compartment and when you open up the very front you get a lot more space so if you want to carry some notebooks or maybe carry something extra like a really large portable charger you're able to do that too as you guys saw you could do a lot of the main things that you need tech-wise in that back compartment and use this for maybe like a change of clothes now this portable charger let me tell you guys this used to be a very expensive portable charger is from momax I don't even think you can really find it easily online right now but I'll have it linked down below so that you guys have access to it I think it used to cost like 200 and you can get it right now for $25 you have mag safe for your iPhone you also have an Apple Watch charger built right into it and you also have a slot right here so that you can charge a pair of airpods pro so you can charge all three of those devices at once 10,000 milliamp hours now while you can charge wirelessly with these three options it does have a USB C Port so if you want to charge devices the normal way uh you can do that right here solid sounding device good construction but it's a little funky the way it works you can't just attach things to it you got to like actually power it on sometimes it's annoying to actually power it on at its original price I wouldn't recommend this but at $25 I'm about to buy another one right after this video now while we're on the topic of portable chargers over here you'll see that we have a really discret USB port section so usually when there's a USB port it's like a big hunky thing hanging over the side of the backpack well this backpack executes it in a nice way where it's flush with the side and it even comes with a little cover and it gives you access to USBC as well as usba a depending on the portable charger you want to use but over here we do have a couple of other inexpensive portable chargers but are also pretty nice because they have built-in cables this one's from n Nery it's nice because it has a lightning as well as a USB C cable built right into it and you also have that Apple watch charger over here and it's got this cool transparent look that's a bonus you know it looks nice and it outputs at 22.5 Watts almost the max charging speed for an iPhone but yeah not very expensive so an easy recommendation since it has built- in cables and if you want to just go the anchor route uh this is actually a pretty solid one anor's always got these weird names for their Chargers this is the power bank 737 you know I'm looking for the three numbers that they usually draw they have like 10 737 on you're not wrong this one just says anchor power bank but this one has a 5,000 mAh battery USBC Port over here outputs 30 wats so full charging speed for iPhones and it also has that built-in USB C cable it'll do a decent job with some Android devices not the max that they can do now what's also nice about this one is that it does have the prong so you can just plug this right into an outlet and let it charge and with the Press of this button over here you can see just how much juice you've got left and I'll also have links to regular power bricks if you guys want uh these are around like the $20 range 45 Watts this is ug green it has two ports anchor has one I'll throw those in as well just so you guys have options that aren't portable chargers now in terms of earbuds we got a couple options so over here we've got the cmf buds now these are great because they work well with the phone so if you're going for the phone you grab these they sound decent they're really inexpensive they have pretty decent battery life and in terms of the audio output it's got like a Bassy kick to it you can't really complain at this price range the noise canc slings out it's surprising at this price that it even has noise cancelling so I can't complain too much now it does have this other cool feature where when you pair it up with the cmf phone you get quick access to chat gbt chat GP you get quick access to chat CH you get quick access to chat CH GB you you you guys know what I'm talking about I'm I'm I'm overt trying you get quick access to that so if you want to ask AI some stuff you can go ahead and do that it's got this little dial here where you can throw in a lanyard so if you don't want to lose it you can do that it also functions pretty nicely as like just like a fidget there's a newer version that cost like 60 bucks and then with that one the dial is actually functional has better active noise cancelling it it's got some more features but it is more expensive now if you want to go for a brand you know a little bit more You Got the Beat Solo buds now with these guys they sound pretty good they've got like this really nice carrying case it's got that transparent look they are missing some of the features you'd expect from like a new pair of earbuds like active noise cancelling you also don't get wireless charging but you know it's a tiny pair of earbuds and I believe these only go for 80 bucks now I say only 80 bucks because it's still a pair of Beats uh it has like the easy pairing with iPhones and Androids and it still sounds pretty decent not to mention they're pretty lowkey well I mine are red but they're pretty lowkey when they sit in your ear if you guys want some headphone recommendations check the links down below I'll have some larger options for you guys to check out but yeah that was in the side of this front compartment and you actually get two of those so you've got another over here and on this side we have a slot for your water bottle and it's got like this nice material so that it kind of holds the temperature of your water bottle also what's nice here it does have this slot so you can put it over your luggage and just carry around see Jean didn't even know that come on man stick with me I got you I almost here it is I almost missed this so This is actually a pretty inexpensive cable that Jay found this is the in charge it's 800 wat cable so you can fast charge some of the devices that you have over here but what's nice is that this thing can just get undone it's got like this these magnets to it to keep them together but this is a USBC cable on both sides with these adapters so lightning and usba gives it a ton of flexibility and the quality of the materials here very very nice so you can just keep them together like this close the top and you've got yourself a nice fast charging cable so if anybody asks like yo you got a cable I can borrow really quick you're pretty sure you'll be able to help them out so this is a nice thing to keep around and it's like I said it's very inexpensive like everything else one last thing something that I have on my own personal laptop are these little kickstands from Al lumu so with these if you're in class and you like to have a more propped up type experience you can just pop them like that open up your laptop and now you're typing with an elevated screen elevated keyboard and this is just something you can add onto any laptop they have it in like two colors you can just smack them right onto the back with an adhesive I like it I don't really like these little rubber feet that you use to kind of keep the laptop from moving as you can see one of mine fell off I have to replace it other than that I really like this and it's so satisfying to do that kids are going to be looking at you and class like dang cool look at that that guy is awesome he's got so much aura look at all the pressure he's applying and his drip his laptop has drip you don't see its kicks you see you see all that guys please don't call me Unk but that's about it guys hopefully you enjoyed it I'll have a ton of other recommendations down below peace what's up n don't do it J don't start something don't start somethingwe got the best tech for back to school but on a budget so we've got our backpack for the new year this is from a company called
