Shop now at Amazon From Amazon Is the guy you know an audiophile? Make their day special by giving him the Fluance Fi70B Three-Way Hi-Fi Music System. This premium stereo system provides high-quality sound in an aesthetically pleasing shell. This system features a powerful integrated amplifier and six speaker configuration. Two eight-inch subwoofers will bring full, rich audio to your living room.

Shop now at Amazon From Amazon Making an espresso using a standard, cheap espresso maker gives you a very unlikely chance of getting an actual great cup of espresso. But Nespresso has solved that problem with the Nespresso Pixie Original Espresso Maker. It basically works like the popular Keurig machines but instead of making straight coffee, it makes espresso using special pods.
The Nespresso Pixie Espresso Maker will deliver an espresso by using capsules (like Keurig’s K-Cups) to provide a flawless espresso each and every time. Look, espresso machines that actually work can be very expensive, large, and difficult to operate. Keep your life streamlined and simple by picking up the Nespresso Pixie and enjoy delicious, life-changing espresso every morning. Or afternoon. We totally understand coffee addiction with no judgments.

Shop now at Amazon From Amazon Admittedly, I’m a fan of pretty much anything that Bose has produced. I’m still rocking a Bose 5.1 channel home stereo setup that’s over 25 years old and it works great. So when it comes to the Bose Sport Wireless Earbuds, I’m thinking you’re going to have your best workout yet.
Earbuds are funny things and very personal as well. Some pairs feel like I must get something out of my ears and others feel like they were made to be there. Just like I expected, the Bose Sport are comfortable and can be customized with one of the three sizes of “StayHear” (get it?) Max tips. The earbuds don’t hurt your ears and won’t fall out during your kickboxing class or your five-mile run.
Of course, the reason I appreciate Bose so much is the quality of their sound technology. Like their other products, Bose brings the thunder with the Sport Wireless Earbuds. Your preferred tracks, podcast, or audiobook will seem lifelike and real. If someone calls you while wearing them, a beamforming microphone array will separate your voice from your surroundings so that your caller will hear you better.
The Sport Earbuds are weather and sweat-resistant earbuds (IPX4 rated) with electronics wrapped in special materials to protect from moisture wherever you exercise. Bose opted for simple touch controls instead of buttons. The interface allows for swiping up and down for volume control or tapping to play, pause, answer calls, and more.
Battery life is a reasonable five hours per charge with the included charging case and two more hours with a quick charge of 15 minutes. You have a lot to choose from in the world of earbuds so make sure you give these Bose Sport Wireless Earbuds some deserved attention.

Shop now at Amazon From Amazon Seems like everyone has a virtual assistant in their home now. One of the best is the Amazon Echo but why settle for another typical piece of plastic in your pad? This Echo smart speaker finished with a dark walnut color and molded wood grain is just the thing to set you apart from the rest of the pack.
Amazon Echo works with an incredible number of apps including Dominos, Uber, Amazon Radio, Pandora, Spotify, Accuweather, Audible, and so much more. The Echo is there to give you a hand when your hands are full, or when you don’t want to get up off of the couch. It has the ability to control lights, switches, Nest, Wink, Insteon, and other cool home gadgets that you may already have and if you don’t, you should!
The device features a uniquely designed set of speakers that surrounds the device to fill your room with omnidirectional audio. The Echo’s microphones can easily pick up your voice from across the room (and sometimes another room farther away). Yes, this model is older but the cylindrical shape and walnut finish are timeless and look amazing.

Shop now at Amazon From Amazon Bluetooth speakers are (almost) literally a dime a dozen but the Aomais Portable Waterproof Bluetooth Speaker is one that you’ll be happy that you picked up.

Bluetooth 5.0 will pair with anything that can handle it: tablets, computers, and cellphones in seconds. Wired connections are present as well for anything that requires a 3.5mm audio jack.
Booming bass and crisp sound is what this little party box puts out. If that’s not enough for you, get two and pair them together for stereo goodness.
The 10000mAh rechargeable battery lasts up to 40 hours at 50% volume. After charging for just four hours, this thing is ready for another 40. But here’s where this speaker should really start to impress: it can be 33 feet underwater for 30 minutes and still play the hits. This thing is rugged enough to stand up to your lifestyle no matter if it involves mud, snow, water, dirt, or being dropped several times.

Shop now at Amazon From Amazon Do yourself a favor and throw your basic (cheap) universal remote in the garbage. It’s a waste of time and the four dollars you spent on it and let’s face it, it gets lost too often anyway.

Shop now at Amazon From Amazon The Anker Nebula Projector Capsule is an incredible little gadget that allows you to project what’s on your mobile phone up to a 100-inch display.

Shop now at Amazon From Amazon It’s time for you to suit up and go take on the bad guys. With the PlayStation VR Bundle featuring Marvel’s Iron Man, you’ll be flying around New York and saving the world before you know it. The price point for this virtual reality headset is pretty great and since most guys own a PS4, this cool gadget makes a lot of sense.
What you’re getting for the price outshines the other two leading VR headsets, Oculus and Vive, and while the PlayStation VR is slightly less advanced, you also don’t need a full PC gaming rig to use it. The bundle includes the VR headset, a PlayStation camera, adaptor, two move motion controllers, and vouchers for the Iron Man VR and VR Demo Collection 3.
Let me just be honest with you: I’m a complete Marvel nerd. The thought of firing up some repulsors and taking to the skies as Tony Stark makes me want to go buy this thing right now. The game will allow you to face off against Iron Man’s rogues gallery and update the armor as progress is made through the adventure. Jarvis, you ready?

Shop now at Amazon From Amazon The Sun Joe MJ401E-PRO 14-Inch Electric Lawn Mower is the perfect pick for those with small lawns that want to save some money. Even though it only has a 14-inch blade, the Sun Joe electric lawn mower will still get the job done quickly thanks to its easy maneuverability and compact size.
This is one lean, mean green mowing machine that won’t quit. The best part about it? You won’t have to frequently run to the gas station for gas and oil, since it runs solely on electricity. It may not be the best-looking lawn mower available — it almost looks like a toy in the pictures — but it is definitely reliable and it does the job.
The fact that it comes in at a reasonable price is a huge selling point, too. If you use the Sun Joe MJ401E-PRO as it is intended to be used — frequently and on generally well-maintained lawns — it can be one of the best mowers available for those on a budget. You may not think of a lawn mower as a “cool” gadget but helping to save the planet and some of your hard-earned cash definitely is.

Shop now at Amazon From Amazon The Logitech G900 Chaos Spectrum Wireless Gaming Mouse is the best mouse on the market and I don’t mean just a gaming mouse for a PC. Not only does it have a great weight to it and a cool-looking design, but it features an LED light that can be set to whatever color you’d like as well as cycle through multiple colors like there’s a club night at your desk.
It’s ergonomically pleasing to boot. It runs on a charge that lasts for 30 hours and it can be used while charging. The G900 is incredibly responsive with up to a 12,000 DPI that can be adjusted with the click of a button on the fly. This is especially great if you’re playing a shooter or something else that would benefit from updating mouse sensitivity.
This computer mouse is seriously impressive and I’ve gone through a lot of them throughout my gaming career. If you’re looking to upgrade your workstation, I enthusiastically recommend the Logitech G900 Chaos Spectrum.

Shop now at Amazon From Amazon Tablets are great gadgets to have in different areas of the house.

Shop now at Amazon From Amazon The Nash CoolSmart oscillating pedestal fan is versatile, easy to use, and a quality product. It’ll essentially allow him to reach the peak of laziness by letting him turn the fan on and off using voice commands with Alexa or Google Assistant or the standard smartphone way. The fan has three speed settings and can have the oscillation turned on or off. It also has various modes such as normal, sleep, and “nature”.
The app allows users to group devices and be controlled together; if other devices like an air purifier are in the home, they may all be coordinated in one place. You can also add multiple people to control the devices so the family can all have a say in how devices are running. Perhaps that’s a mark in the negative column?
One really neat feature is that the system may be based on outside weather. The fan may automatically start based on temperature conditions outside the home. Overall, this oscillating fan is simple to unbox, assemble, setup, and configure. This fan may not be “cool” in the traditional sense but it’s definitely cool in the literal sense.

Shop now at Amazon From Amazon It’s amazing how many toxins and chemicals that exist in the average American home. There are more than you think can be found in the air around us (with dust, of course). Don’t spook yourself by Googling any of the statistics. Instead, head to Amazon to pick up a truly cool gadget for men (and women): the Awair Element Air Quality Monitor.

The LED light on the front provides a quick snapshot of the air quality around you without having to check your phone. Want to impress your friends and neighbors with a futuristic-looking and useful cool gadget? The Awair monitor is a great choice.

Shop now at Amazon From Amazon The Teenage Engineering PO-20 is the most powerful pocket-sized synthesizer I’ve ever come across. The PO-20 is the real deal, offering 16 different synth sounds, 16 punch-in effects, and a 16-step sequencer that can remember 128 patterns. It even has a speaker built into the circuit board so you can create your unique sound on the go.
The sounds are delightfully retro and sound like they came directly from an 8-bit machine in 1986. Video game blips, beeps, and bloops are in abundance that will allow the user to create an entire chiptune-style piece of music. Sophisticated arrangements may be created with the help of the 128-pattern chaining function.
A Silicon Labs EFM32 Gecko MCU and a Cirrus Logic DAC chip are both on board to produce excellent sound quality. Built-in Knowles speakers allow for play with the PO-20 synthesizer without having to use external devices. But if you’re up for it, this cool gadget may be synched with a PC or volca.

Shop now at Amazon From Amazon This Nyrius Aries Prime Wireless HDMI Transmitter is one of the coolest gadgets you be able to pick up. It’s especially great if you’re a gamer and have kids. What the Aries Prime does is allow you to wirelessly stream any HDMI-capable device (Xbox One, PS4, Wii U, Blu-ray, et al) to a second device.
What this means is that if anyone is using the living room TV, you can send the signals from your gaming consoles or media players to another TV. Trust me: having to unplug and rewire components will make you run screaming from the house.
The Nyrius Aries wirelessly streams content, flawlessly and without any lag, in full 1080p HD between the included transmitter and receiver. I have my Xbox One and PS4 both plugged into it in case one of my kids is occupying the TV so that I can always game when I want to. Take that, children!
The price tag is a little high, yes, but when looking at the purchase of another gaming console to compensate, the cost is much better. Man, I love when technology makes things easier.

The Versa Lite can track and record 15 different types of exercise (run, swim, and more) along with heart rate and sleep stages. Fitbit promotes the Versa Lite as “swimproof” meaning it’s water resistant up to 50 meters deep.
The watch also syncs to your mobile device for text, calendar, and app notifications on the touchscreen. The build is rugged enough to handle much abuse even looking as thin and stylish as it does. Battery life exceeds four days meaning a weekend road trip won’t result in loss of power without charging.
The body is lightweight and made of anodized aluminum. The screen is Gorilla Glass 3 so it won’t shatter but watch the scratches that your watch might take. Great looking and practical, the Fitbit Versa Lite is definitely a cool gadget for that man in your life.

Shop now at Amazon From Amazon There is an entire universe of personal sound equipment out there competing for the attention of the true audiophile. Nuraphone Wireless Bluetooth Over-Ear Headphones do something remarkable within that universe: they strive to be different. First off, allow me to say that the sound that the Nuraphone produces is incredible. Rich, intricate tones with deep, smooth bass is what you’ll get here.
But it’s not just the sound that deserves praise. The way in which the sound is produced deserves to be highlighted. Within each of the earcups is an earbud that is designed to rest in your ear canal like any other pair of earbuds. Surrounding the stem (?) that the earbuds are projected from is a woofer assembly that shakes to help produce bass. That’s right: these headphones use motion along with sound to reproduce what you’re listening to. This “immersion” setting can be increased or decreased within the Nura app.
Touch controls on the sides of each earcup can be used for a variety of functions and can also be customized by using the Nura app. I very much enjoyed the customization options that the Nuraphone offered. The touch controls are extremely sensitive to the point that I actively had to avoid even getting near them while adjusting the headphones at any point.
Everything about these headphones screams quality, from the packaging to the materials used in construction to the user interface within the app. But for the price point, I would expect that.
Now some constructive criticism: to use the headphones out of the box, you must first submit to a personal listening audit using the correctly sized earpieces (the unit comes with three) and the Nura app. Unless this is done, the headphones will forever bleat out, “Please download the Nura app to compete the personal listening setting process.” Ack.
I never could get the earpieces to seal correctly for this process to work effectively all the while touching the sensitive touch controls. The app (thank goodness) moved past and did the best it could to measure the interior of my ear canal to provide the right EQ for my individual ears. Once this was all finished in about five minutes or so, then the app wanted to download new software for the headphones. That took around 30 minutes. Yeesh.
I very much liked the “immersion” setting and the physical shaking of the headphones while producing bass was interesting. I just wonder at how long that can go on before the thin rubber on the inside of the earcups tears because of this.
The Nuraphone is heavy enough that I personally wouldn’t want to use them while working out and I found that after about an hour, I had to take a break because of the weight. The earbuds also felt strange; wearing earbuds inside of a pair of headphones isn’t something I’d ever experienced before. I suppose that after some time, I’d get used to them but for the 90 minutes that I wore them, it felt like someone had their fingers in my ears.
There is a lot to like about the Nuraphone including the gaming mic accessory (sold separately). For a true lover of music and sound that wraps around you, these headphones have a lot going for them. Just be aware that these aren’t like any other pair of headphones that you’ve ever owned. Your mileage may vary.
