Ever wondered what sells on amazon?
Obviously, Amazon is pushing its own electronics to the top of its best-selling item list.
Closely followed by apple products though.
Let me give you a quick review of the top 6 items and my personal view of each item.
The Amazon Fire TV stick debuted years ago and was a great success before “Smart TVs” got so cheap and affordable for almost everyone. Where else could you easily access streaming services like Netflix, HBOmax, Sling, Hulu, ESPN, Youtube, and Disney+?
Do you need an Amazon Prime account to use the Fire TV stick – the answer is NO.
Since you can access other streaming services, which have nothing to do with Amazon.
Additionally, you have access to thousands of apps – like the Apple Appstore or Google Play Store. Amazon has launched its own app store, allowing to download and install 3rd party apps for free movies and so on.
The best use for this Fire TV Stick is connecting it to a computer monitor via HDMI and turning it into a TV.
The 2nd item is just the updated version for use with a 4K-capable TV or monitor.
On the hindside, if your TV is supporting 4K, it most likely is already a smart TV, therefore I recommend to check your TV first, before purchasing it.
#3 Apple Airpods 2nd Generation
These AirPods are still best-selling items. If you own an iPhone and are looking for a headset, these AirPods are a must. For regular calls, zoom meetings, just listening to music, or workouts.
Those AirPods can announce incoming callers and text messages (requires setup on your phone)
I personally prefer these to the latest generation of AirPods, they fit my ear better and work great.
If I need the noise cancellation feature I rather use my Bose Headset -for example during flights on an airplane. Just as a reference I add the link to the Bose QC35.
The Fire TV Stick series upgraded version supports the Wi-Fi 6 protocol. Which makes sense since 4K streaming requires more data.
Be aware that your home Wi-Fi supports this enhanced feature, or else you will not benefit from it.
#5 Ring Video Doorbell – 2020 release
For those who don’t know, Ring is now an amazon subsidiary as well.
I use a ring doorbell myself and just can tell it works great. The Ring Doorbell supports App, Alexa, and Echo Show devices (recommend an echo show, since it has a display, allowing you to see video)
#6 Apple EarPods Headphones with Lightning Connector
Wired headphones are still popular. These work with all iPhones with a lightning connector.
Why do people use wired headsets?
You don’t have to charge them! Not as easy to lose then a single AirPod piece. You are nostalgic.
I’m really enjoying the design and layout of your blog.
It’s a very easy on the eyes which makes it much more enjoyable for me to come
here and visit more often. Did you hire out a developer to create your theme?
Outstanding work!
Thank you for the compliment.
Just started it and still “room for improvement” – no I did not hire a developer. All DIY, but I am a little geeky.
Your website look also clean and its fast – nice job on that.
