Normally, projectors aren’t something I would consider to be in gifting territory. They tend to be expensive, come in a wide variety of designs, and it’s really tough to pick one out for someone else, even if you know them well. I might have to go back on that thinking, however, because of a great deal I discovered in the Black Friday sales. More specifically, the Yaber Projector L2s is down to $133 for Black Friday. Usually $270, that saves you a whopping $137 off the top. It’s a 1080P HD projector with WiFi 6, Bluetooth, sound by JBL, and has a 700 ANSI brightness rating. Those are some impressive specs when you consider the price but that also makes this Yaber projector super giftable in my book. Take a look for yourself or head below for some more details.

Let’s run this down from a numbers perspective. The Yaber Projector L2s delivers a native 1080P HD resolution and has two built-in 8-watt speakers with sound by JBL. No, it’s not 4K, but when and where you’ll use this projector full HD is a great option. You can, for example, set up a movie night in your backyard or by your pool. Or, you could take this little guy with you to a friend or family member’s house for the holidays to do some impromptu streaming. Imagine sharing family photos with grandma on a 150-inch screen. Because this projector can cast one.
It offers seamless autofocus and auto vertical keystone to make clarifying the picture super simple. You’ll just need a place to cast the screen — and there are plenty of projector screens on sale right now too. But more importantly, it has WiFi 6 and Bluetooth functionality built-in. Because of copyright restrictions, you’ll have to use a streaming device to watch your favorite apps like Netflix, but that’s easy enough to set up. It does have both USB and HDMI ports. For USB, you can even plug in a USB drive or USB storage device, and it’s compatible with FAT 32, NTFS, and exFAT formats.
Everything you need to get up and running is right there, minus maybe a streaming device depending on what you want to watch. It’s great for presentations, sharing photos and videos, watching all kinds of media, and even playing games. Ultimately, nothing beats that $133 price for Black Friday. You’re saving $137 for this deal and it would make a fantastic gift for the tech-lovers in your life.

Instagram is making its way to yet another screen, and this time, Apple TV is getting a taste of the Reels rabbit hole. The company has launched a dedicated Instagram app for Apple TV, bringing Reels, longer videos, and live shows to the big screen. So, if watching one quick clip on a phone somehow turns into an hour of scrolling, there's now a much larger screen for that.

Audio-Technica, a brand well known for making some of the best studio and professional headphones on the market, has just come out with the ATH-AWX7000, which the company itself claims to be its "finest headphones ever." The new flagship closed-back headphone has debuted at an eye-watering price of $3,799. It combines hand-finished Japanese woodwork with a newly developed 58mm driver.
The earcups are made from Kiso cypress, a prized wood historically used for Shinto shrines and Buddhist temples. Each housing is finished by hand with traditional Echizen lacquer, which brings out the grain and is expected to darken over time. The frame and sliders are finished in a deep navy kachi-iro shade traditionally associated with samurai.
