Today, we are taking a closer look at the Oakywood 2-in-1 Headphone Charging Stand. The brand is known for its use of natural materials mixed with robust metal accents, much like the MagSafe stand collection and desk shelf we reviewed previously, and the 2-in-1 Headphone Charging Stand lands on your work surface with much the same attention to detail. I have always been a fan of office and tech accessories with this sort of design approach and thought it was time to see if Oakywood’s 2-in-1 solution is worthy of carrying my headphones of choice. Head below for some hands-on impressions.

Amazon is now offering the 2022 model 13-inch Apple M2 MacBook Pro from $1,049 shipped. Regularly $1,299 directly from Apple, this is a solid $250 price drop and the lowest price we can find. After falling into the $1,099 region for most of this year at Amazon, it has dropped back down to the lowest price we have tracked there across 2023 to match the Amazon all-time low. While many folks favor the more colorful, Touch Bar-free M2 MacBook Air, it is quite clear that while the pro is overkill for most folks, some feel it remains a beast of a machine. Head below for more details. 

Amazon is now offering the latest unlocked Samsung Galaxy S23 Android smartphone in four colorways down at $699.99 shipped. Regularly $800 at Amazon and directly from Samsung, this is at least $50 off and the lowest price we can find. While we have seen some YMMV deals and other limited offers for less, today’s deal is matching the second-best Amazon price otherwise. Centered around a 6.1-inch FHD+ display with the brand’s Adaptive Vision Booster – whether “out in direct sunlight or in bed with the lights off, the contrast on Galaxy S23’s expansive screen still looks amazing” – this model is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip. It features a 3,900mAh battery alongside a 50MP high-resolution camera with Night Mode that “lets you capture brilliant selfies no matter the lighting.” Get a closer look in our hands-on feature and head below for more. 

Spigen’s iPhone cases have been featured around for years, and for good reason. They provide good quality covers for the price and offer a ton of different style options to meet a wide range of needs without breaking the bank. The new iPhone 15 collection looked to be much of the same as year’s past at launch and, after giving a number of the cases a run since my iPhone 15 arrived, I can personally back up these initial impressions for the latest models. Head below for some more hands-on details and a look at some of our favorite options in the lineup. 

Just before pre-orders on the new PlayStation Portal player are scheduled to hit other retailers tomorrow, Sony has now announced the PlayStation Plus free games for October. While most PS gamers are (not so) patiently waiting for the release of Spider-Man 2, a fresh batch of freebies for PS Plus members will go live beforehand starting on Tuesday, October 3. The collection is headlined by some sci-fi survival horror action alongside peaceful farming simulation and a “dark fantasy reimagining of the Wild West.” Head below for more details on the October PlayStation Plus free games. 

While we have seen a couple price drops on 8Bitdo’s new model Xbox Arcade Stick, both the white and black variants are now dropping to $107.99 shipped via the official Amazon storefront. Be sure to clip the on-page coupon. This one launched as the “world’s first” officially licensed Xbox arcade controller back in June of this year at $120, and it has now returned to the lowest we have tracked since. Today’s deal is matching our previous mention and the best price we can find. This model delivers a more traditional setup centered around a joy-stick, unlike the button-only PS5 and PC Razer model that just launched, alongside a series of ten arcade-style face buttons. You’ll also find a traditional 3.5mm headphone/audio jack and the ability to use it both wired or tether-free with up to 30 hours of wireless playtime per charge. This model also works alongside the brand’s Ultimate software so you can leverage bespoke button mapping, adjustable stick sensitivity, and more. Get a closer look right here and down below.

KeySmart has now unveiled its new Apple Find My wallet tracker known as the SmartCard. We have featured the brand around here several times, usually with its key organizers, some of which with built-in tracker tech, and now it’s time to bring some of that location tracking to your wallet. Already sold out on the brand’s official website, you still have a chance to bring Apple find My to your wallet via the KeySmart Amazon listing, but there’s no telling how long it might last. Head below for a closer look at the new KeySmart SmartCard Apple Find My wallet tracker. 

Amazon is now offering the Ninja CP301 Hot and Cold Brewed System for $147 shipped. Regularly $230, this model more typically fetches $180 at Amazon and is now at the lowest price we can find. We have seen it go for a bit less in limited offers at Kohl’s but today’s deal is the best price we have seen on Amazon this year and the lowest we can find right now. This versatile machine can handle both loose leaf tea and ground beans in various brew sizes ranging from pod-free single-serve or a travel mug all the way up to a full carafe. There’s even a brew over ice option. The built-in frother also transforms “hot or cold milk into silky smooth froth in seconds, with nothing more than the press of a button.” Head below for more details and additional Ninja coffee maker offers. 

Amazon is now offering the WD_BLACK 5TB P10 Game Drive Portable External Hard Drive for $97.49 shipped. Regularly $150 at Best Buy where it is now selling for $125, today’s deal is the best we can find. It is also roughly $13 below our previous mention and within $1 of the Amazon 2023 low. While it might not be one of the more pricey SSD Game Drives with faster transfer speeds, you aren’t going to find 5TB of SSD game drive storage for anywhere near this price. You’re looking at under $20 per TB here and a notable way to store your older titles or move games around on the go – just 1TB of WD_BLACK P40 SSD Game Drive is currently selling for $105. The P10 is designed for PC, PlayStation, and Xbox with an 18-inch USB cable included in the package alongside the usual WD_BLACK build quality. You’ll also score a 3-year warranty to protect the “purpose-built for gamers” design and your investment alike. Take a closer look in our hands-on review and head below for more details. 

It is now time to take a closer look at the MUJJO leather iPhone 15 cases. The brand sat somewhere at the top of the heat in the category last year and is once again in 2023. With Apple’s leather covers going the way of the Dodo this year, brands like MUJJO offer up some of the only ways to wrap your new device in a proper leather cover. The same collection we reviewed last year is making a return for iPhone 15 alongside a new burgundy colorway and the all-new Shield model that combines leather and recycled plastic for a more protective option in the lineup. Head below for our hands-on review of the new MUJJO leather iPhone 15 case as part of the latest Tested with 9to5Toys.

Head below for all of the details. 

Adonit is known around here for delivering its own Apple Pencil alternatives, alongside options for Android and Windows machines, but today it is unveiling its latest, the Note+ 2.

This is a 120Hz FreeSync Premium Pro (AMD Adaptive Sync) QLED display with “blistering fast 240Hz VRR” for what TCL calls more responsive gameplay without lag.

Head below to take a closer look at the new Hallmark Nintendo ornaments and more.

A new TP-Link Tapo Matter smart bulb has surfaced today on Amazon. The brand has been delivering relatively affordable smart home solutions across the HomeKit, Google Home, and Alexa-ready ecosystems for years, including everything from smart bulbs and plugs to power strips, switches, and more, but now it’s time for its latest Matter-ready lighting solution.

We feature our fair share of iPhone cases around here from all of our favorite brands, but one collection that has caught our eye this year comes from the folks at BURGA. The brand has been making iPhone cases for years, but has mostly flown under the radar around here for no particularly reason. With the almost marble or ceramic-like feel to its new iPhone 15 cases, the latest from BURGA really stands out from many of the models we have seen thus far and deserves a little bit of a closer inspection.
