The design itself looks pretty sweet and would likely be the hit of your next tailgate or day at the beach. After spending a lot of time on the design and securing patents, the BRO Ball is ready for funding. Head below for more details.

At one point, gaming headsets with microphones were reserved for the hardcore gaming enthusiasts that spent hours online at a time and craved the boost of a locked-in environment.

The Turtle Beach Elite 800X hit the shelves of retailers a few months ago, labeled as “the most advanced gaming headset ever”. That’s a lofty description, but with wireless connectivity, DTS 7.1 surround sound, custom audio profiles and luxury materials, we knew we had to see if this headset lived up to the hype.

New Toy of the DaySmartphone AccessoriesHeadphonesNew Product

Smartphone Accessories

Short of buying in bulk, Tile Bluetooth item trackers rarely go on sale. But today Amazon has a single Tile on sale for $20 Prime shipped, which is a 20% drop from its regular price of $25. This deal is only the second straight price drop we’ve seen for this handy gadget that’ll ensure you never lose your keys again.

Just attach Tile to any object and you’ll be able to track its whereabouts from your iPhone. It doesn’t have real-time GPS, but rather it works over Bluetooth across a 100-foot radius. The iOS or Android app automatically records the last known location of your Tile if it falls outside its coverage area. Tile’s battery is not replaceable and generally lasts about a year. 1,370 Amazon reviewers rate it 4 out of 5 stars.
