Finding yourself far from an outlet when your phone hits five percent can make you feel a little shaky — which is why stashing a portable charger in your bag is never a bad idea. People who travel or are simply forgetful will appreciate the benefit of having a little extra juice on hand, but picking out a good portable charger from among the thousands out there can quickly get overwhelming. I’ve spent the past year and a half testing more than two dozen units to help you find the best portable power banks for all kinds of different scenarios,…

If vacuuming is your least favorite chore, employing a robot vacuum can save you time and stress while also making sure your home stays clean. While once most robo-vacs landed on the higher end of the price spectrum, that’s not the case anymore. Sure, you could pick up a $1,000 cleaning behemoth, but it would be incorrect to assume that you need to spend that much money to get a good machine. Now, you can get an autonomous dirt-sucker with serious cleaning chops for $500 — sometimes even $300 or less. But you get what you pay for in this…

stp2y0 CommentsNewsCommerce, engadgetdeals, gear, news, shopping, streamshopping, thebuyersguide

Starting with the first Galaxy Buds, Engadget's audio expert Billy Steele has reviewed every pair of buds Samsung has produced — and he calls 2022's Galaxy Buds 2 Pro the company's best effort yet. Right now, Woot is selling pairs in either white, black or the perky purple hue of our review unit for 48 percent off the standard list price. That brings them down to $120 and the lowest price we've tracked. The listing indicates the sale will stick around until Friday or when the stock runs out, whichever comes first.Photo by Billy Steele / EngadgetThese buds have great…

It has hit that time of year when all the rinky-dink chargers I bought have given up, and it's time to invest in some quality options. I'm personally a big fan of Anker, so it's exciting that Amazon is currently discounting some of Anker's best charging gear. Included in the sale is 30 percent off Anker's MagGo magnetic charging station, dropping its price to $70 from $100. This discount brings the Qi2-certified device to a new all-time low.AnkerAnker's MagGo magnetic charging station is a great choice if you're looking for an all-in-one option for a range of devices.

The best Bluetooth trackers for 2024

stp2y0 CommentsNewsbest tech, Commerce, evergreen, feature, gear, holiday gifts, shopping, streamshopping, tech accessories, thebuyersguide

A basic principle of the universe dictates that you will misplace your keys only when you’re already late. If this happens more often than you’d like, a Bluetooth tracker can help. Attach one to your keys or stuff one in your bag (they also work well with wallets and jackets) and when you can’t track something down, your phone will make the tag ring until you find it. These handy fobs can also send alerts when you’re about to leave them behind and can tap into vast networks of other smartphones to anonymously locate lost items out on the mean…

Sorry, VR: The Meta Ray-Ban Wayfarers Are the Best Face Computer

stp2y0 CommentsAIartificial intelligence, meta, shopping, sunglasses, wearables

Right now, they’re my favorite pair of workout headphones, because I only have to grab one accessory instead of two when I head out the door. My poor ears are the coat hooks of my head—now, instead of trying to thread my earbuds around my hat, hair, and sunglasses, I can just slip these on. As we noted in our review of the Meta smart glasses, the little speakers that sit over your ears have startlingly good audio quality. They get plenty loud enough to hear while running outside in a mid-sized city; the mandolin strums in the Band’s “Atlantic…
