First up we have the JayBird BlueBuds X. These are fantastic Bluetooth earbuds. The have excellent sound and an impressive 8 hour battery life. The BlueBuds X come with silicon tips, but I recommend picking up Comply Foam tips for an additional $15. They are more comfortable and provide a very secure fit. The BlueBuds X also come with a handy carrying case and a Micro USB charging cable to charge them up. Currently, these awesome little earbuds are available for about $150 and the Comply Foam tips can be had for around $20.

This little drive packs a punch with fast transfer speeds and a very classy look that will fit in perfectly with a MacBook Pro or an iMac. It’s available in various sizes, but the best deal right now is happening with the 1TB model for only $135.

A good webcam is hard to come by these days. Most laptops have them built-in, but there’s a sacrifice in quality being made. Logitech’s c920 webcam is the best bang-for-your-buck solution for just about any computer. It works flawlessly with OS X and Windows and will provide a crisp clear picture in up to 1080p resolution. It’s one of my personal favorites and you can pick it up for only $69 right now.

If you happen to have Android and iOS devices laying around the house, or just about anything with a Micro USB connection port, you’ll love the Skiva Micro USB/Lightning 2-in-1 Charge & Sync cable. This little guy is 3.2 feet in length and you can easily switch between a Lightning connection and a Micro USB tip to fit most any of your devices around the house. You can pick it up for only $10.

Update: It seems the Skiva cable jumped in price to $20, but luckily there’s another cable available with the same functionality for only $10. It’s from Hamee and looks/works exactly the same.
