Let your boss drone on — with both hands free, you'll have your embezzlement scheme up and running in no time! (Amazon)(Amazon)
Every night before bed, I tackle the mountain of dishes that has taken over the sink (how can a toddler use so many dishes in a single day?). As I scrub away, I prop my phone against the backsplash and turn on whatever podcast I've been listening to throughout the day. Without fail, my phone slips down, crashing onto the counter. To make matters worse, I miss half the conversation whenever the faucet is running — and after a long day of wearing earbuds at work, I like to give my ears a break. That's when something like the Jteman Bluetooth Cellphone Stand would come in handy, especially at over 40% off.
There's a reason for the hype surrounding Apple AirPods Pro — many reasons, in fact. For starters, they offer rich, crisp sound and superior noise cancellation, allowing you to enjoy music, podcasts, audiobooks and more without outside commotion getting in the way. This model also allows you to control the volume simply by swiping the stem, and you'll even receive four pairs of silicone tips in different sizes for customized comfort. At $189, this is the cheapest we've seen them!
Apple's AirTag is one of the most powerful trackers you can get as an iPhone user. Simply connect it to your phone and use it to keep track of what matters — luggage, a purse, an expensive bike. You can also activate Lost Mode, which makes it play a loud sound. Grab this four-pack to put one in each family member's suitcase the next time you travel.
"I recently purchased an Apple AirTag, and I have to say, it's a game-changer for someone like me who tends to misplace things," said one user. "Setting it up was a breeze — just a few taps on my iPhone, and it was ready to go. The precision finding feature is fantastic; it leads you right to your lost item with directions and haptic feedback, which feels like magic. I've attached one to my keychain and slipped another into my backpack, and so far, they've saved me a ton of time and frustration."
Never fight with your family over outlets again. This electrifying gadget boasts five AC outlets and four USB ports, enough for everyone to charge their devices all at once. Oh, and it's much sleeker than having a power strip on your floor.
Top-rated Sony wireless headphones for just $38? We're listening! At nearly 40% off, this is one of the best prices we've seen this year.
Ready for some Apple picking? Yes, we realize it's not fall, but you'll want to pluck this bad boy from the ol' Amazon tree and add it to your cart because it's currently down to its all-time lowest price — and this is the most recent version of this model!
As the unofficial Goldilocks of tech (less bulky than a laptop but larger than a smartphone), this tablet keeps you connected on the go or at home, and you can use it for everything from reading books to taking notes to watching videos.
Our tech editor named this the "best tablet for 2024" owing to its "under-the-hood improvements, including a faster processor, more RAM (4GB instead of 3GB), Bluetooth 5.0 (up from 4.2) and a USB-C charging port."

Want a different color? This "handy dandy little gadget" comes in plenty of them, including red, for just a few bucks more.
When it comes to Bluetooth speakers for your phone, anything under $30 is a pretty good price, especially for something that sounds great. This one checks both boxes, plus it comes with a built-in stand so you can watch video, stream movies or chat without having to hold your phone in your hand. Just note that this is a limited-time Lightning Deal, and it'll be gone soon!
This speaker props up your phone while boosting its audio, so no more muffled speakerphone chats or balancing your phone against a coffee mug while FaceTiming (this happens to me multiple times a week). Bonus: The built-in mic makes calls clearer — great for anyone who struggles to hear via speaker.
It's also compact, foldable and works with most phones, tablets and e-readers. Adjustable angles mean it's ideal for FaceTime, YouTube, or background music while working. Now, it doesn't charge your phone, but you can still plug in your charger while using it. With anti-slip padding and a sturdy hook, this stand keeps devices safe and steady whether you have them on the desk, the workbench or next to you on the floor while you do yoga.
Over 7,800 fans of this stand-speaker combo have given it a five-star rating, saying that the speaker is crystal clear and easy to use.
This product is no frills, and that's exactly what this five-star fan likes about it. "It's basically a Bluetooth speaker with a built-in phone stand. That's what I wanted, that's what I got. Great compact mobile design. ... After four days of using it at least an hour or more each day, the battery is still above 85%. I wasn't expecting a whole lot for sound as it's not a premier name brand. But the sound is excellent!"
Another content customer raved about everything from the size to the sound quality. "When I say this little thing packs a punch with sound. ... It has a nice sleek design. It can fit in your pocket. Very user-friendly and very clear sound."
Wrote a thoughtful spouse: "My husband has hearing aids in both ears and cannot use earbuds or AirPods. Even with the speaker volume on his iPhone set at maximum level, he still struggles to hear at times. I found this cellphone holder with Bluetooth speaker and hoped he would be just as pleased with it — and he is! At last, he can hear clearly and has the added bonus of being able to see the screen easily, as well, as it stands before him while he works at his desk."
"The clarity of the speaker is somewhat mellow, so higher frequencies are lost to a degree. I find this to be the major fault for me with my hearing loss," cautioned one four-star reviewer, adding, "I would like a crisper tone designed to give clear voice amplification, as that is what I primarily use this amplifier for."
The same four-star fan mentioned another nitpick: "The power/charging/Bluetooth LED is hidden from view when the unit is folded up for storage or charging. You have to lift the phone holder out of the storage position in order to view the LED."
