Smartphone Accessories

We often post deals on Suaoki smartphone accessory products. The company makes very high quality cables and chargers, but now it has turned to crowdfunding for its best charger to date. The Suaoki S270 has massive charging abilities in the form of a tiny carry on. Currently being funded on Indiegogo, the charging station has just 16 days left in its campaign but has already reached its funding goal.

Update 10/29/17: If you’d rather go the Geek Squad refurbished route to save a few bucks, Best Buy has those on sale for just $62.99 shipped. That’s good for nearly 60% off the sale price below. Be sure to check out Best Buy for more details!

Amazon currently has BeatsX in-ear Bluetooth headphones with Apple’s W1 chip for just $109 shipped in multiple colors. Black, blue, grey, and white are on sale. These headphones rarely see price drops from their $150 price point, though we have seen them dip as low as $90 once. The W1 chip included in these headphones makes pairing a breeze, and audio quality is superb. I love wearing my BeatsX when working out or doing yard work. Rated 3.8/5 stars at Amazon by over 500 customers, and 4.5/5 stars by over 2,500 customers at Best Buy.

The Phorus DTS whole home audio solution is getting a substantial upgrade today. The company’s current lineup of speakers is designed to rival that of some pretty weighty competition, including the likes of Sonos and even the Amazon Tap. So the announcement of a larger Alexa voice service-compatible unit is certainly a welcomed addition to the lineup.
