Best Prime Big Deal Days Deals (Hands-On Showcase)

Hi, I'm Tim Wirth. Welcome to the Mashable Prime Big Deal Days live stream. So I'm Mashable's

tech editor. I've been covering shopping events like this since 2019. Actually, I have an award

for shopping content. Technically, that award does belong to my former employer. It did mysteriously

go missing shortly after I got laid off. Just total mystery where it went. But no, I love

covering these deals. There have been so many price hikes this year, so we're going to try to

co-over everything that's on sale, how you can save some money. So welcome to TikTok, YouTube

everyone tuning in wherever you are. If you have any questions about what's on sale

the products I'm talking about, feel free to drop them in the chat. We'll get to as many of them as

we can, but let's get right into it. I've got a ton of products here, so let's just dive right in

So I want to start off with Apple. Let's start with a big one. This is the one Mashable readers

always want to know about, right? So I've got some of my favorite Apple products with me

Let's start with the M5 MacBook Air. Now, I really do love this laptop. I reviewed it for

Mashable. I sometimes find myself just staring at the screensaver. You might not be able to tell

but it subtly moves, the water moves. So I don't know. It's just very meditative and cool

Look how thin this laptop is. It's razor thin. It's got a great display, great speakers. It's

I believe 2.77 pounds. So just under three pounds, 0.44 inches thin. So just like razor thin for a

laptop. And I'm going to be honest, this is the laptop design that every laptop brand in the world

is copying right now. So Apple actually raised prices on this laptop this year, just like every

other tech product, thanks to the global memory crisis. But during Prime Day, you can grab this

back at its original price. So it's $200 off. It's starting at $1,099. So that's a good deal

If you need a good MacBook, this is a great one to get. I highly recommend it for students

for people who are more like casual users, let's say. Now, what if $1,099 is still too much for you

right? Well, I also have the colorful MacBook Neo here. This is a favorite of ours here at

Mashable. So, you know, some good news, bad news on the Neo, it is not on sale. So that's a bummer

right? But if you do want the most affordable MacBook, this is going to be it, right? So if

you want to find these products, just go to Mashable.com, check the link in the video's

description. We've got everything you need to shop these products and a ton more. So just make

sure to periodically check that out. A couple more Apple products for you. So first, I'm going

to show you this, the M5 MacBook Pro. So this actually passes the cyberpunk test. Now, a lot

of people don't think of MacBooks as gaming laptops, but you can actually literally play

cyberpunk on this. I mean, the M5 chip is a beast. It's just incredibly fast. It just blew

every other processor out of the water when it first came out. So it comes in that awesome

midnight black color that a lot of people love. This one's also on sale. I believe it's starting

at $18.39. Let me double check that price for you. But yeah, also on sale for $18.39. If you

want to get the new M5 Max Pro chip. Now that one is also on sale. You can save $600, but it costs

$34.99. So very, very expensive. But if you want an Apple laptop, this is the time to get it

They'll probably go on sale again during Black Friday. We'll be back with another live stream

and more deals coverage then. But until then, if you need a laptop

now is the time to buy. So one more Apple product to talk about

We're gonna talk about the M4 iPad Air. So this is the newest iPad

Now we do expect new iPads to be landing any day now

pretty soon. I don't know that the Air is gonna get a refresh, however

So like the MacBook Air, this thing is just incredibly thin. It's just super, super lightweight. It's incredibly fast

for a tablet. You can use this as a drawing tablet. You can use it as a laptop if you have

the right accessories. Primarily, my use case for it is watching dropout, streaming, doom scrolling

as much as I try to avoid it. So this one's also on sale at Amazon as part of the Prime Big Deals

day sale. It's a bit of a mouthful to say, bear with me. It's a tongue twister, but no, it's a

hundred dollars off right now. So six 49 down from seven 49. And I'll just show you what it looks

like. Cause it is beautiful. It's just a great product design. It's again, something that Apple

just does better than anyone. I got the magnetic case on it right here. I'll try to rip that off

Yeah. It's just a, it's an attractive product. It looks good. It feels good in your hand. It's

incredibly lightweight and it's on sale. So I think those are all the Apple products I have

If you're just joining us, if you're just tuning in, I'm Tim Worth. I'm Mashable's tech editor

I've been covering sales like Amazon Prime Big Deal Days since I think 2019. The Mashable

shopping team has been searching for the best deals literally since 5 a.m. That's when I started

my day. So we take these sales very seriously. We want to save you as much money as we possibly can

That's our goal. So that's what we're trying to do here. Now let's move on. Let's talk another

tech product I love, Kindles. So I actually have my own personal Kindle here. This is the Kindle

Paperwhite. This is the e-reader I use, maybe not every day, but I use it a lot. Thank you to my mom

who bought this for me for Christmas. So I am a book collector. I'm a huge book nerd. I'm a writer

not a surprise. I used to be such a snob. I looked down on e-readers. I was like, oh

I don't read Kindles. You know, I collect books. I like, you know, paper, blah, blah, blah

But then I moved to New York City and New York City apartments are very, very small. So I literally

just have boxes and boxes full of like first edition books, some of which are pretty valuable

just literally in boxes in my closet. So the Kindle for me is literally a necessity. So like

I said, the Kindle Paperwhite is my personal go-to. It's on sale like so many other things

You can get this one on sale for $149.99. Now, I do recommend getting the ad-free version. If you

don't get the ad-free version, instead of seeing this cool artwork on the lock screen, you're going

to see ads. Now, maybe that doesn't bother you. Personally, I don't want to see ads when I'm

reading a book. Now, unfortunately, the ad-free version of this is not on sale. At least it wasn't

last time I checked. However, you can get the Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition for just 20

bucks more. It's got double the storage. It's got no ads. It's just a great product. So highly

highly recommend. If you're looking for the Kindle links or want to know where you can shop

these, just head to Mashable, mashable.com, check the link in the description

We've got all the info you need. Now if you really want to save money on a Kindle you can get one for one or three ninety nine So the starter Kindle which I don have here with me that the one that comes in the matcha color is on sale for Again that erases the price hike Amazon just raised prices on these unfortunately So a bit of a bummer but always good when they on sale

So if you're a reader or if you're buying a Kindle for a reader, highly recommend any of those

Now, I have something cool I can show you. I actually have the new unreleased Kindles with me, at least some of them, right

So Amazon just announced brand new Kindles. We did an unboxing video

Now, I'm actually not allowed to tell you too much of what I think about it. There's a review embargo on these

but we are allowed to show them to you and give you, you know, just general first impressions

So the Kindle now comes in this beautiful aluminum finish. It just, it's a great device

It actually looks remarkably like the iPad Air. And we actually got the chance to interview

the head of the Kindle design team. And I said that to him and he was basically like, yeah

that's the point. It's supposed to feel like a tablet or a smartphone, something very familiar

here. These are also the thinnest and lightest Kindles ever. So I'm a big fan. I think they're

really cool. They're available for order now. Got one other one I can show you. Standby

We've got the Kindle Color Soft, the new Kindle Color Soft. So let me wake this one up for you

Very cool, right? Who doesn't love color? If you're into graphic novels, this is also great

for kids, right? If you like to encourage a love of reading in your kids, a ColorSoft is a great

one because they want all those colorful pictures, right? Now, I have another good news, bad news

situation, which is that these new Kindles I have here are not on sale. So the truth is, I love my

2024 Kindle. It's perfectly good. If you want to save some money, I do recommend buying these while

they're on sale. I think it's a smart decision. However, if you want the newest, the thinnest

the shiniest possible Kindle, you'll want to make sure you're buying the new ones. So if you're on

Amazon, it's the ones that have 2026 in the product name. So that's what you're looking for

for the new ones. Unfortunately, they're not on sale, but what can you do? Maybe over Black Friday

But I think, yeah, for now, the Kindle Paperwhite is an easy purchase, especially if you're trying

to save some money on gifts or if you've just never had a Kindle before. All right. Now I'm a

tech editor, a Mashable's tech editor. We're here covering the best prime big deal days deals

Still wrapping my tongue around that one. But we're actually going to shift gears a little bit

We're going to talk about something that is not tech. We're going to talk about beauty. We're

going to talk about grooming. So I actually used to write about grooming and skincare for GQ and

some other sites. So this is actually a category I really love. So it's cool that I get to do this

Now there's a couple products I brought with me. The first ones I'm going to show you are just

a standard. I mean, Kiehl's, right? Kiehl's is the best. I mean, there's so many new skincare brands

There's Korean skincare brands. I'm going to show you some other ones I like, but like

don't overthink it. Kiehl's is really, really good. They've been around for over a hundred years

for a reason. Now, a lot of people don't know this, but Kiehl's is on Amazon now. That's pretty

recent over the last couple of years, but they always, always mark down their products during

the big sales. So I have right here the retinol skin renewing serum. Retinol is probably the

single best ingredient to have in skincare. There's so much science backing it up. It's good

for wrinkles. It's good for, you know, crow's feet, or at least it can be right. I've had great

results personally with retinol. You can get this for under $50 at Amazon right now, which is a

really great value. You can also get the famous Kiehl's facial cream if you need just like an

everyday moisturizer to keep, you know, your skin glowing and looking beautiful like me. And this is

a great option. Also on sale, I'll have to check exactly how much it is. Stand by. I know that it

is $10 off, which is not a huge discount, but I'll definitely take it. Yeah, this one's on sale for

under $30. So definitely recommend picking it up. Another one of my favorite Kiehl's products is the

avocado under eye treatment. I don't know why avocado is a good ingredient for your under eyes

but I do love that product. It's also on sale, also $10 off, also highly recommend

Now, those are just some of my favorite Kiehl's products. I'm going to talk about another beauty brand I absolutely love. So Amazon actually recently updated this. This is a brand called

Caldera Plus Lab. Now, they're a unisex brand. Amazon recently updated all the product names to

say like men's moisturizer, men's serum, but I promise they're unisex. Men, women, you know

we don't have that different of skin. Honestly, there's minor differences in pH, but no, this is

my absolute favorite skincare product in the world. It's an under eye serum. It's called the

eye serum from Caldera Plus Lab. How do I know this works? Because I spent four weeks applying

this to one of my eyes. I literally did that for four weeks. And after four weeks, one of my eyes

looked a lot better. Now, I know what you might be thinking in the comments. Tim, your under-eye

bags are so big, you probably get charged extra luggage fees at the airport. Fine, that's true

but imagine how much worse they used to be. Also, I've been up since 5 a.m., so just bear with me

right? But no, I love this product. Highly recommend it. I've bought it as a gift, and just

to show you, we're putting our money where our mouth is. This one is actually empty. I'm going

to add this to my shopping cart right now. I'm not even kidding. I'm literally going to add this

to my cart. I'll show you if my address isn't on there. Yeah. Added to cart. I'll check out at the

end of this stream. One other product I want to show you from that brand. This is called the Good

Serum. So a lot of brands like to say like, oh, we make natural products, right? Everyone's

it's so natural. Caldera Plus Lab actually means it. So like they actually send people out

into the Teton mountains to wild harvest 17 different botanicals to put into this syrup

It has like this really cool, like witchy smell. I don't know how else to describe it. It smells

like something like a witch or a medicine man in the frontiers would have, would have concocted for

you. Uh, it just makes your skin glow. I don't know how else to say it. You know, you can buy

like a couple of times a week. It just gives you a nice little glow up. Um, I'll also say that

after this came out, Grow & Alchemist released an extremely similar product. It has a lot of the

same ingredients and costs a little bit more. So again, highly recommend picking this one up while

it's on sale. It's called the Good Serum. It does say Men's Serum, but I promise anyone can use it

Now, if you're just joining us from YouTube or TikTok or Instagram, I'm Tim Worth. I'm Mashable's

tech editor we talking prime big deal days This is Amazon annual fall sale A lot of people say like how good are the deals really And I say they surprisingly good this year honestly We been pretty happy with them

There's some pretty good Apple products on sale. What's tough is that pretty much every tech product in the world has gone up in price this year

So, you know, the deals are good. There aren't as many record lows as we'd like just because the floor, the price floor has gone so far up

thanks to the AI industry hogging all the memory components. But yeah, if you want to shop these deals, head to Mashable.com

We've got links to everything. We've got descriptions of all the products that we've tried and tons more

At Mashable, we really try to go the extra mile. We actually test a lot of products, but we're also checking price tracking tools

We're comparing, hey, is this cheaper at Walmart or Best Buy or Target? So we really do take these recommendations seriously

You know, we want to help you save money. And like these products should hopefully make your life at least a little bit better

Right. So, yeah. Head to Mashable.com. I think I have one other beauty product

Now, I was really disappointed. This is my personal skincare red light mask

It's my favorite. I'm not going to turn it on and blind the camera. But unfortunately, it doesn't have that good of a discount

This is the Lumen eye mask, red light eye mask. It's only $10 off, which isn't, you know, we don't really, it's like a 10% discount

It's fine. I was hoping for more. So if you do want a red light mask, highly recommend the Shark Cyro Glow Mask

It's on sale for, I believe, $279. It has red light. It has blue light

It has cooling factors. It's like half the price of most red light masks

And we actually like it better than the alternatives. So highly recommend that one

Yeah, 30% off. Great one. One last one. I do have an electric shaver. Again, this is the electric

shaver I actually use. It's from a brand you might not know. It's called Laifen, L-A-I-F-E-N

So this one is 30% off. It's $129. This is a great shaver to buy as a gift for guys

or if you're looking for a new electric shaver, hopefully that wasn't too loud, but you get the

idea. It's got a really cool design, metal body. It's got some transparent elements right here

Now I've tested probably a dozen electric shavers and there are a bunch. They make them really fancy

now. They have like seven blades. They cost upwards of $500. You do not need to spend more

than $300 on an electric shaver. I'm just going to tell you that right now. You just don't. So you

can get some really good shavers like this one for 130 that's what i would recommend doing uh it's

just it's just it just makes sense just trust me on that um and again the shark cyro glow mask

uh on sale now you'll find links to all of these at mashable there's tons of good options available

um and yeah we've got an entire guide to beauty products to red light masks if you're looking for

more of those so just let me know if that's what you're looking for now if you have any questions

what's on sale for Prime Big Deal days? Which of these products should I actually buy? Is one

MacBook better than the other? Just let me know. Happy to answer reader comments. Like I said

we've been covering this sale very aggressively all day. I've got a pretty good sense of what's

on sale, even if it's not a tech product. So feel free to just drop a comment in and we'll try to

get to it if we can. Now let's shift away from beauty and grooming as much as I love that category

um all right so let's see what should we talk about next let's get into audio so audio was one

of the biggest categories at mashable our readers love to read about all the latest audio i've got a

bunch of different products here i think we'll start with the bose sound link plus this is one

of my favorite bluetooth speakers so the speaker is fully waterproof it's fully portable it's easy

to connect to. I'm going to try not to totally tip this over as we go. But yeah, I've tested one

I actually have a brand new one here, so let's unbox it. Let's just do it. Let's see if I can

figure this out without using scissors. I'm just going to make a mess. All right. I think

we're cracking into it. Let's see. Eco-friendly packaging, always a plus. Now, one of the things I love about this speaker is that it comes in really good colors

I'm not sure if this particular color is on sale for Prime Day, but I know the blue color is

I know the orange color is, or if you just prefer like a classic black, you can get that

I'm trying to rip this open here. So this is like a beautiful citrus. It's a great color. This is another great gift, potentially

I'll check the sale price for you but like I said I've tested this speaker personally and it's it's

one of my favorites on sale for prime big deal days like everything else we're talking about here

so this one's $179 it's 33% off so that's a very good discount now there's a ton of other speakers

on sale of course this would probably be my top recommendation honestly you can take it to the

beach. You can take it to the pool. It's fully waterproof. I mean, don't throw it in saltwater

or chlorine, but if it gets splashed, it'll be fine. And it has big sound. I mean, if you're

outside, it carries, it has strong bass. If you're inside, it fills a room really well

The bass isn't totally overwhelming, which is a problem with a lot of speakers

One of our reviewers actually took this to the pool to test it. So yeah, we can definitely give

a solid recommendation on this one. And it's just fun to look at. I mean, it's just a good

product design. It very looks like a quintessential Bose product. It's got some nice touch controls

here on the top, as you can see. Not sure what will happen if I try and turn it on

Nothing, probably for the best. Bose SoundLink Flex, very good product, 33% off. Now, if you

don't want to pay $180 for a speaker, I do have one other recommendation for you. I don't have it

here with me, but it is a mashable tested product. I'm talking about the Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 4

That's one of those small pint-sized ones. You can take it in the shower. You've probably seen

it before. It's a very popular speaker. That one is on sale for $56.99, normally $99.99. So that's

almost 50% discount. I think it comes out to like 43%. You'll have to check my math

but I think that's pretty close. So again, if you're looking for a Bluetooth speaker under $100

get the Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 4, also fully waterproof, also fully portable, and also

Mashable tested. All right, we're going to keep going on audio, but just a quick note

this is Mashable's Prime Big Deal Days live stream. We cover all the major shopping events

from Prime Day to Prime Big Deal Days to Black Friday to holiday shopping sales, not just at Amazon, but beyond

As I've said a couple times, we take these sales very seriously

So if you're looking for deals, if I haven shown you something you like just go to Mashable check the link in the video description and I sure you be able to find something that you like So yeah with that let keep going in the audio category

Headphones. Let's talk headphones. This is definitely one of the biggest categories Mashable

readers care about. I've got one of my favorite pair of headphones with me. I'll go ahead and try

them on for you. These are the Sony XM6 headphones. The full name in typical Sony fashion is a little

awkward. It's Sony WH-1000XM6 active noise canceling wireless headphones. We just call them

the XM6s. Yeah, I tested these when they first came out for Mashable and I still love them. It's

been over a year and they're still some of the best headphones in the world. They have a really

comfortable fit. I've got a larger head than most people I've found. But yeah, they fit great

even over my glasses here. They fold up, which is a nice little design touch. They come with a nice

little travel case. Yeah. So if you're trying to decide what headphones to buy, let me make this

very, very easy for you. So go ahead and take notes. Consider this your official Mashable

cheat sheet. Headphones are worth investing in. I recommend spending at least $100 on headphones

And honestly, if it's a product you use every day, it's worth it to spend $350, $400, $450

on these products. That's how much they cost these days. $450 is the new standard price for flagship

noise-canceling headphones. Now, during Prime Big Deal days, you can save some money on these

right? So the XM6s I have here are on sale for $3.78, which is still very expensive

but that is the lowest price they've ever been at. So that's a very good deal

Now, if you're not sure whether you want to buy the Sonys or something else, like I said

here's your cheat sheet. If you care about active noise cancellation more than anything

get the Sonys. These are peerless when it comes to active noise cancellation

Now, if you care about comfort more than anything else, I'm not saying these aren't comfortable

but if you want the most comfortable headphones in the world, go with the Bose QuietComfort

Ultra headphones. The QuietComfort Ultra second gen are also on sale. They're at a similar discount

You can also buy the mid-range, just Bose QuietComfort headphones, the older generation ones

for $169. So that's a much more reasonable entry point. If you're looking for something that's

half the price of these Sonys, that's a great deal, right? So again, Bose, QuietComfort

Gen 1, search that plus Mashable, you'll find them. They're on sale for $169, which is a great

price. And lastly, if you care about style, if you're just super plugged into the Apple ecosystem

go with the AirPods Max. Those headphones from Apple, they're just stylish. They just are. You

know, they're a fashion accessory as much as anything else. And they're also on sale. Normally

$5.49, they're marked down to $4.29. So again, just to sum up, for active noise cancellation

go with Sony. For comfort, go with really any of Bose's quiet comfort headphones

for style and Apple, you know, Apple signature it factor, go for the Apple AirPods max too. Um

yeah, they're not our favorite headphones. I'll be honest, but they work great with Apple products

and they look really cool. They just do right. Um, all right. So those are headphones. What about

earbuds right now? We've already talked Apple, Apple AirPods are on sale. So if you're looking

for new AirPods, you can get AirPods starting at $79 at Walmart, not Amazon. You can also get the

Apple AirPods Pro 3 for $179. That's a great sale price. Not quite the lowest we've ever seen

but pretty close to it. And then you can also order the new AirPods 5. Unfortunately

they are not on sale, but you can still order them, of course. Now, in terms of other earbuds

we've got some other good options for you. I have also from Sony, the Sony XM6

noise cancelling earbuds. So these are really solid. I use these almost every day, it feels like

They, you know, they look like earbuds. You know, the design's not that crazy, but they, you know

they fit in your ear well. They feel comfortable. You can wear them for hours and hours and hours

These are on sale for under $300. You can get them for $258 at the moment

which is a much, much more attractive sale price, right? Now, same kind of cheat sheet

If you care about ANC noise cancellation more than anything, get the Sony XM6 earbuds

Again, they're on sale for $258, which is a pretty good price

Let's see, how big is that discount? it looks like a hundred well anyway it's a good discount it's on sale if you care about comfort

go with the Bose QuietComfort Ultra earbuds and if you like Apple just go with the Apple AirPods

there's tons of options you can get the new AirPods 5 not on sale you can get the older

AirPods 4 for $79 or you can get the AirPods Pro 3 for $179 which is a solid price not the lowest

ever, but close, close to it. It's possible the AirPods will get $10 cheaper during Black Friday

but I doubt it. You know, this hasn't been a great year for record prices for all the reasons we've

talked about. But yeah, in terms of audio, those are definitely the ones I would recommend. Bose

Apple, Sony. And like I said, I wouldn't go less than $100 on headphones or earbuds. I think they're

worth spending a little bit more. That's just been my experience. All right. I've got a ton

of other products here. Let's talk phones for a minute. Now I've got some foldables with me

This is the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8. This is the closest to the iPhone Duo that you can get

in the Android ecosystem. So I'm actually a big fan of this phone. I just think it's a good size

It's good shape. It fits in your pocket. See if I can turn it on here, but it's got a really good

design. If you want an Android foldable, this would be my number one recommendation

Samsung has really, really good AI features. They've got really, really solid AI photo editing

tools. They've got all the AI assistants you could want. They've got onboard Gemini access

And it's just a cool product. I mean, like, honestly, this is a conversation starter

Anytime I bring out one of these foldables in public, people are asking about them, they wanna hold them

they wanna hear the snap. They're just nifty, right? Now these are also really divisive products I found

Half the people I talked to says, no one wants foldables, that's stupid

And the other half is like, oh, that's cool. I'm glad these are around, right

Now the iPhone Duo is not out yet. That's the foldable everyone is talking about

available for pre-order October 23rd. So pretty soon. Now, if you want an Apple foldable, that's

your only option. It's also $2,000, which is very expensive. And no, we're not expecting it to go on

sale. There might be some carrier deals. So check back on Mashable October 23rd to see if there are

any good deals on the iPhone Duo. But in terms of Samsung Android foldables, there's some really

solid options. So again, this is the Galaxy Z Fold 8. I forget the exact sale price, but I do

believe it is on sale. I've also got the Z Fold 8 Flip, which is the smaller flip style one

I love this pink color. This is my personal favorite phone design of the year. I just think

it's cute. It's fun and it fits in your pocket, which is very important to me. Seems to be less

important to other people. Um, but yeah, no, I, it's a, it's a really solid phone. It'd be a good

starter phone for maybe like a teenager or someone who, you know, doesn't need professional cameras

This one's much more affordable. It's under a thousand dollars. Um, yeah, no, it's a great one

to pick up while it's on sale. So again, highly recommend checking these out if you can. And then

let's see, I've got one other Android hand handset with me. I've got the galaxy S 26 S ultra. Uh

again, this is the flagship Android device. The only real competition is the new Google pixel 11

pro, which is also a really solid phone. Um, it really just comes down to personal preference. Um

I like the ultra it comes with this included stylus, which is a really unique feature

just pops right out. You can write right on the screen. So if you'd like to take

handwritten notes or just don't want to get fingerprint smudges all over your phone

it's a great option. Of course, like everything else, it's gotten more expensive. Samsung just

raised prices on this, I think, a week ago. So again, these kind of sales, prime big deal days

are your chance to actually save some money on devices like this. So if you're looking for a new

Android phone, this is probably the best one out there for my money. It'll cost you quite a bit

If you find it on sale, it'll probably be about $12.99, maybe $12.50 if you're really lucky

So unfortunately, that's just what it costs. All right. Let me consult my script and see what else we got for you

And yeah, we're here to talk Prime Big Deal Days. So far, we've talked about our favorite Apple

products on sale. We've talked about a ton of different Kindles, my own personal Kindle here

We've talked headphones, earbuds, beauty products, you know, so many different things, right

I give great advice. So if you have any relationship problems or, you know, anything, just let me know

Drop them in the chat and we'll get to them as they come in. All right

Now, one last thing I want to talk about is smart glasses

Smart glasses are controversial products. I've tested, I think, pretty much every major pair of smart glasses out there

I have to say, if you're a creator, if you are making a lot of POV content

no one does it better than Meta Ray-Ban. Those are the best. If you want the camera creator smart glasses, the Meta Ray-Bans are great

the Gen 3 versions just came out. They're not on sale, unfortunately. Maybe we'll check back

tomorrow and see if that changes. However, for my own personal preference, I just like smart glasses

without cameras. That's just my preference. So I brought some of my favorite augmented reality

glasses with me. Happy to show them off here. So my favorite smart glasses come from a brand called

Xreal, and they are all on sale at Amazon right now. I believe they're, no, I know for a fact

they're at record low prices. So what I like about augmented reality AR glasses is they don't have

cameras. So they're much less of a privacy risk. So I'll try them on and kind of show you what they

look like. These aren't meant to be worn 24 seven. You know, you're only supposed to put these on

for let's say you're watching a movie or you're doing some work. So how do they work? So they

come with a USB-C cable. So you plug them in and they plug directly into a device like your smartphone

like an iPad or a laptop. And essentially they project a giant virtual screen right in front of

you. You can either set it so it follows you when you move your head, or you can anchor it in place

so you can have a screen stuck right here and you can turn around, do a full 360 and then come back

to it. It is a really cool technology. It's one of those things, one of those tech products that

just makes you feel like you're living in the future. I mean, it's just, it's just nifty

Again, there's no cameras built in. So you're not, no questions of, you know, are you spying

on people or anything like that? It's purely a device you plug into your smartphone or tablet

and it projects, like I said, a giant virtual display. There's a couple of different use cases

I like So these are the X 1S I find these are really good for entertainment They can project a huge screen I think X biggest screen the equivalent of basically looking at like a small movie theater screen or a giant projector screen

And you can watch movies, you know, if you're on a plane, if you're anywhere, you know

you can pull up HBO Max and watch, you know, the new or the old Deadpool movies

You can watch Lord of the Rings, which I've actually done with these glasses

and yeah I mean it's a cool experience they've got audio powered by Bose so you know pretty

solid sound for the experience my number one use case for these glasses though has actually been

working on planes interestingly so for that I actually like to use X-Real's flagship model

which is the X-Real One Pro again they come in these nifty little carrying cases

you just plug them directly into your laptop. I have these customized to my prescription

so I can see everything perfectly. You'll see on the back, they have these micro OLED panels

Probably hard to see on the stream, but basically it's this like really interesting, like thick cut curved glass

Basically, as I've said, these are like wearing an OLED TV on your face

which sounds intimidating, but is actually kind of fun. So like I said, my best use case for these is working on a plane

I was actually heading back from a CES and I had a bunch of articles to write. I was in a middle

seat. So I plugged these into my work laptop and I had three different screens going, you know

I had an ultra wide, I had, you know, my chat over here, I had everything I needed. And like

literally it was, it was incredible. I had the like ultimate setup while I'm on this tiny little

plane. Right. So I probably annoyed my seatmates cause I was constantly like, they're probably like

what the hell is wrong with this guy? Um, but no, it was actually incredibly useful. Um, same if

you're like working at a coffee shop, right. Or just anywhere where you can't have a full second

monitor. These are incredibly handy. So again, all of X-Rail's products are on sale. I'll let you know

for how much, if you just give me one second. So, the Xreal 1S are down to their lowest ever price

They're on sale for $399. So again, that's still kind of expensive

But if you want AR glasses for entertainment, get the Xreal 1S for $399

If you primarily use them for work, I'd recommend the Xreal 1 Pro

Those are the Elite. They're on sale for $569. Now, I believe we have a question

So let me go to the chat. So Kay Beckworth on Instagram asked, can you get sound on any of the Kindles? That is a great

question. None of the Kindles have speakers. You can connect to them via Bluetooth. So there's

connections with Audible that you can do. If you'd like listening to audio books and things like that

pretty much all the newest Kindles from 2024 and onward have Bluetooth built in So you be able to connect your Audible account to headphones and listen to books that way But if you want to like play sound like you would on an iPad that not something that

Kindles are able to do, unfortunately. Great question. If you have any other questions

feel free to drop them in the chat. But yeah, one other pair of smart glasses I wanted to talk about

These are just dumb glasses. I'm going to put back on so I can see. Now, if you're saying $5.99

$5.69, $5.69, that's way too much to pay for smart glasses. There's one other option I want

to tell you about, the TCL Rayneo Air 4 Pro, complicated name. If you can't remember that

you know, just go to Mashable, search TCL Rayneo, it'll come up. Those are on sale for, I believe

$2.39, which is a much more reasonable starting price, right? I'm just going to double check that

Yeah, they're on sale for $2.39. So if you're curious about AR glasses, if you want to give

them a try. That's a great one to start out with. The TCL Rayneo are incredibly bright. They're

actually the brightest ones I've ever tested, I believe. They're great for movies. They're also

great for gaming in particular. They have an HDR10 display. So if you want to use it to play

games while you're commuting or in a car on a road trip, that's a great option. Like the other ones I

showed you they just plug directly into your device and i think we're getting ready to about

wrap up so last call for questions speak now or forever hold your peace i'll just do rapid fire

a couple other things i'd recommend there is one last product here it's an anchor charger how do i

keep all these tech products charged i use anchor for pretty much all of my charging this is the

Anker GAN Prime USB-C wall charger. You can charge a laptop, a phone

can't think of another device, but you can charge three at once

And pretty much all of Anker's charging products are on sale right now. You can get a Maggo charger

for your iPhone on sale. I think there's one for 45. There's a really, really nice one on sale for

about 96. So whole price range from like, I found chargers for as low as $24.99 all the way up to

like really fancy three-in-ones for like $150. So again, if you need any sort of charger, wireless

charger, wall charger, charging lock, power banks, highly recommend Anker. Is it Anker? Is it Anker

Nobody knows. It's whatever you feel like. But yeah, those are pretty much all on sale. So to
