Apple’s AirPods may offer a great listening experience, but they sure can make a serious dent in your wallet. Enter the Air Bud Wireless Bluetooth Earbuds.
These buds are super easy to take on the go, thanks to the compact design and the included charging case that includes 10 extra charges and also serves as a carrying container. Bluetooth 4.2 technology eliminates the need for wires, and CVC 6.0 noise cancellation shuts out background noise so you can focus on the music, podcasts, audiobooks, or whatever else you’re listening to.
Try out Air Bud Wireless Bluetooth Earbuds for only $19.99 in the Technabob Shop, and you’ll wonder why people spend multiple times the money on AirPods.

Bane may have been born in darkness, but his pacifist brother, Fane, was born in the garden. If you want to roll around in his field of flowers, but have allergies, you can use the cool tech in this Allergen Filtration Mask. However, we expect you to talk in a deep and ridiculous accent whenever you wear this.
Yes, the mask looks really stupid, but it promises to let you breathe naturally through the nose and mouth while capturing, neutralizing, and decomposing 99.3% of the bacteria and particles larger than 0.4 microns. That means pollen, dust mites, mold spores, tobacco smoke, and pet dander won’t make it to your nose or mouth.
The mask is made of cloth that is waterproof and has an integrated exhalation valve and elastic ear bands to keep it on your face. It sells for $79.99 and is available on Hammacher Schlemmer. Perhaps once you put on the mask, somebody will care who you are.

August Lock is getting into the homesharing industry, making the process of checking in an Airbnb guest a bit easier.
Airbnb has done what it can over the past few months to make checking in plain and simple. For example, the company built out a new tool that lets hosts spell out check-in instructions within the app, all in a simple flow, to make sure guests have all the info they need at their fingertips.
But that hasn’t solved the biggest problem of all: the key.
For one, people don’t often have a lot of interest in meeting strangers, especially when they’re fresh off a plane or road trip. Secondly, it’s annoying to block out that time (sometimes getting off work) to go hand off a key to an Airbnb guest. And then there’s the matter of getting keys copied or re-tooling your smart lock to temporarily offer a stranger access.
That’s where August comes in to play.
August now let’s Airbnb and Homeaway hosts link their accounts to August. When a guest books at their home, August will generate a smart code that lasts for the duration of the stay and no longer, letting the guest easily check-in and come and go without the host having to babysit the process.
Guests will receive their pin code and instructions via email.
Hosts simply need an August Smart Lock and Smart Keypad to start letting technology do the heavy lifting. And, in fact, August is running a deal right now for 25 percent off the Smarter Hosting Bundle, which includes an August Smart Lock, August Connect Wi-Fi Bridge and August Smart Keypad.
This, coupled with other startup services like Handy, should make becoming an Airbnb host as simple as tapping a few buttons.
