The Best Home Tech!
(2017) #Helpful Post
you
guys Johnson here today we are
taking
a look at some of the best home
tech
thus far of 2017 so first up is the
Philips
Sonicare FlexCare platinum
connected
if you shot out to Philips for
not
only sending this out but also in
the
dark days of ad pocalypse for also
sponsoring
this episode
no
yes this is a toothbrush on a tech
channel
that was because there is a
crazy
amount of tech packed inside this
guy
start with the fact it'll connected
by
a bluetooth to your smart phone so
what's
cool that Bluetooth connectivity
the
fact that it's not going to just
tell
you to brush your teeth for X
amount
of minutes there is a smart
sensor
built within this it's going to
know
how hard you brushed where you
brush
at the end of it when all said and
done
which spot to hit correctly and
which
ones you didn't so that combined
with
the fact that it is guiding you
through
your mouth section by section is
kind
of cool not going to lie there are
times
when you wake up in the morning
your
zoned out you're half asleep and
maybe
you brush the right side of your
mouth
way more than you need to and
neglect
that left side but would this
not
know more now for those who have
come
in more recent videos you know
strokes
per minute is kind of a big deal
and
this guy is dishing out 31,000
strokes
a minute and to break that down
that
is 516 strokes a second and to
visualize
that one two three that is
1550
strokes that just happened if you
combine
that kind of stroke power with
their
adaptive clean brush hair which is
soft
flexible just kind of how's your
teeth
and you're going to have some
squeaky-clean
pearly white so next up is
the
Comal audio solo wireless bluetooth
speaker
and specifically I'm taking a
look
at the one in walnut black so if
you
love what and you love tech you are
going
to love this thing aesthetically
it
is beautiful and if there were one
word
I would use to describe this it
would
be classy now price-wise it is a
little
more than your average Bluetooth
speaker
but that is because it is more
than
your average Bluetooth speaker for
starters
build quality wise it is using
real
wood and not some cheap laminate
and
when I say it is more than just a
Bluetooth
speaker what I mean by that if
the
only Bluetooth connectivity there's
built-in
radio both FM and internet
flavors
Wi-Fi and then was set up to me
the
most is built-in spotify connect
integration
now specifically for me why
I
really like the Spotify connect
feature
is you're actually getting
better
sound quality that's because you
are
pulling music directly from the
device
as opposed to connecting through
bluetooth
and then to once you're set up
and
ready to go
you
can then you
to
stand alone without needing to use
your
phone it's our sound quality goes
this
thing packs way way more sound than
you
would ever expect for a box that
size
it is clear it is punchy there is
plenty
of volume on the other hand
though
it's not going to blow your socks
off
low and wide so is that something
you're
into you may potentially want to
look
elsewhere but if you're looking for
something
clear it's going to fill a
room
is unique impactful features this
is
your guy following that maybe one of
the
coolest home tech gadgets of all
time
especially for under 30 bucks this
is
the side click it specifically I'm
taking
a look at the one for Apple TV
but
if Apple is not your thing there's
also
one available for the fire TV and
Roku
so with a side click first and
foremost
what it's going to do
essentially
is house the Apple TV remote
what
that's going to do is that some
sides
at some Vulcan and turn hopefully
reduce
your chances of losing this thing
now
in my case the way I've set up is
the
power button is going to power on
and
power off the TV the plus/minus will
then
control volume on the sound bar the
up
and down arrows will control the
channels
on the TV
the
source button will control the
source
of the TV and then as far as a
and
B goes right now I have a to again
power
on the TV and that is really only
because
I don't have a secondary device
but
in theory you could a blu-ray player
or
a DVD player and then lastly I have
be
powering on the sound bar now for me
the
coolest thing about this guy aside
from
the price was how easy it was to
set
it up it seriously took less than
five
minutes that's because it connects
through
infrared as opposed to entering
in
stupid codes now the instance where
maybe
you're also using a cable box this
will
definitely improve things but not
be
the ideal solution but on the flip
side
if you're someone who watches TV
and
consumes their media through an
Apple
TV a Roku or a fire TV this might
be
just the answer you were looking for
so
next up is the new most smart home
controller
which looks like it is
straight
out of the future so as far as
scale
goes this right here is it is a
super
compact really sleek looking
device
that also comes in white what
it's
going to do is give you control
over
various tech products in your home
all
through a single source now as far
as
put this will control right now you
have
Apple music Google cast lifx light
bulbs
philips hue light bulbs rom fell
and
then so no speakers once you're set
up
and connected it is super simple to
switch
between which device you want to
control
simply swipe up or down and then
icon
will pop up of which device is
currently
being controlled in this case
here
was philips here you can see the
light
bulb icon pop up and as far as
control
goes I can do
as
simple as power to light off or on or
something
more complex like changing the
color
blue
now
hopping over to Apple music from our
play
a song simply press it volume go
next
song so you can see it works really
well
is pretty instantaneous and it's
going
to give you that next level
control
instead of having to reach out
for
your phone or your tablet now again
the
ideal location for this is going to
be
a wall or table or a desk not to be
used
free handedly
but
the good news is everything you need
to
do that it's going to come in the box
now
if I had any complaint it would be
the
fact that you do need an active
Bluetooth
connection to use this whether
it's
your phone or your tablet it will
not
work standalone and beyond that I
would
definitely love to see more apps
support
especially Spotify but if that's
not
if you use Sonos if you use alpha
music
if you use lifx or phillips you
this
is a really cool home tech device
so
next up this would be perfect for the
best
tech on our 15 if you guys are
excited
for a new episode of that make
sure
you drop a like down below this is
the
adven tree Bluetooth transmitter
which
can allow you to use bluetooth
headphones
with your TV so what this
tiny
compact gadget does is connect to
the
audio of your TV and then creates a
Bluetooth
connection where you can then
connect
up to two different Bluetooth
headphones
now a couple notes if you
pick
this up and you set it up any
notice
a little bit of lag or a little
bit
of latency that is more than likely
because
your headphones do not support a
low
latency mode as that's the case they
do
make a complimentary pair of
headphones
that is designed specifically
for
this use on the contrary though if
you
do want to use the low latency pair
of
headphones you can only stream audio
to
one pair of headphones not two so if
you
do want to stream audio to two
separate
sources you will have to
sacrifice
the low latency you can't
power
this through the USB port on your
TV
but what's cool with this is there
they
built him better that should give
you
around six hours of battery life
that
also makes us perfect to take on
the
go so if you're someone who lives
with
others maybe you watch things way
too
late or way too early and even
looking
for a solution to continue to do
that
without disturbing others this is a
fantastic
option and again it is only 39
bucks
besides tonight thank you guys
very
much for watching the POV yet make
sure
you check out this video here where
Phillips
partner with Ted to showcase
how
cool technology like the
Sonicare
FlexCare platinum connected can
help
improve lives this is Jonathan and
I
will catch you guys later
