The best technology you can buy for less than US $ 25 | CNN

We're just a few weeks into the season of big tech launches and while a lot of the new stuff coming out is attractive, it often comes at pretty high prices.

But to be up to date it is not always necessary to invest an exorbitant amount of money.

Sometimes little accessories can make life a lot easier.

Today, we've picked out six great tech gadgets that you can get for under $ 25.

Smart homes are all that is hot these days, and as we move toward a more connected world, it seems reasonable to find new ways to connect where we spend the most time.

However, starting a smart home can be expensive, which is where companies like Wyze come into play.

Along with a host of other "smart home" technologies, Wyze offers items like this Wyze smart plug, which connects directly to Wi-Fi and lets you control your "non-smart" stuff from your cell phone.

With Wyze's Smart Wi-Fi Plug, you can equip your home with all the technology you need to control your lights and other electronic devices from your cell phone screen.

It's an inexpensive way to bring your home into the new age, and there are even other Wyze products you can combine it with for an even better smart home experience.

There is nothing more frustrating than having to charge your smartphone but not being able to find a place to connect the charger.

With the Anker 40W 5-Port USB Wall Charger, the need to occupy multiple sockets in your living room, kitchen, or other living space is over.

With support for almost any USB-A device such as iPhones, Android phones, or even iPads and other tablets, the Anker 40W 5-Port USB Wall Charger has enough power to keep your devices running smoothly.

If you've been struggling to keep your tech charged because you're running out of plugs, then this USB Wall Charger Hub is the perfect gadget to add to your home.

Despite the fact that many of us are stuck at home during the current coronavirus pandemic, there are still many people who have to go out and work outside of their homes.

Running out of charge in these cases can be a hassle.

Fortunately, there are little tech gadgets like the Auzev USB charging bracelet that fix the problem.

This bracelet makes sure you always have a phone charger on you.

The cord here isn't very long, but if you want something that looks cool and blends in with your everyday outfit, then this handy charger bracelet should be on your wish list.

You can also buy it in different sizes, depending on how big your wrist is.

It has happened to all of us.

You're getting ready to go shopping and can't find your keys, or you're looking for your favorite purse or purse, but can't find what you're looking for anywhere.

That's where Tile changes the game.

• Tile Mate ($ 24.99; amazon.com)

There really is nothing more frustrating than misplacing something you use a lot, and while we can call the cell phone to see where it rings, losing keys, wallet or bag can be stressful.

With the Tile Mate, you'll never have to worry about that again - just put the Tile Mate in your bag and forget about it.

Batteries need to be replaced once a year, but other than that, the Tile Mate ensures that you can always find that favorite bag no matter where it is.

In a world with apps that drain batteries at an inordinate rate (ahem, we're looking at you, Pokémon Go), having an external portable charger can be extremely useful.

There are a lot of great portable chargers out there but Anker offers a great option at a solid price point in the PowerCore 5000.

Headphones with Bluetooth technology have become increasingly popular in recent years, with large companies like Apple and Samsung launching their own custom variants.

But if you're not willing to spend the price of a pair of AirPods or one of Samsung's options, then these wireless headphones from Aiboondee offer a solid pairing at an easy-to-digest price.

While not as high-quality as the more expensive brands, Aibondee has come up with a solid pair of truly wireless headphones at a very attractive price point.

They also come in a case similar to the AirPods, which means you can use them similarly and even pair them with your iPhone or Android device for a great listening experience on the go.
