It comes with a GPS satellite view and real-time video feedback that offers shot trace and data overlay features.
Promising review: “This is a nifty little device. I am in the middle of some lessons now and seeing my shots get better and better is a big confidence boost. Having the video playback I can immediately see where I need improvement in my swing.”
2. A beautiful decoration that blasts songs throughout the house
If you want a compact speaker with powerful projection, look no further. This easy-to-carry music player has an amplification power of 350 watts MS, a 1.25GHz processor and a weight of 9.5 pounds. It connects to Bluetooth and Wi-Fi and fits well in your kitchen, yard, home gym and any other room you may want it in. It’s a pretty good crowd-pleaser for any party you might want to host.
Promising review: “What an impressive speaker! It does everything very well: TV room main speaker, Bluetooth music repeater, standalone internet music reproducer. We used it extensively and for long hours during the holiday festivities. No one could believe the incredible full-range sound heard throughout the house came from this small unassuming device.”
3. Play your favorite tunes in style
Music lovers need to check this out. This turntable is perfect for anyone with a vinyl collection. It comes out of the box ready to play your records. All you have to do is sling the belt over the platter, plug it in and start playing. Not only is it easy to set up, but it also comes with a Bluetooth connection and a groovy vertical design that lets you fit it nearly anywhere. Oh, and you can even mount it on the wall if you want.
Promising review: “Aside [from] being absolutely beautiful and creating envy for all my friends, I can’t begin to tell you how easy this was to set up and use. I have a Bluetooth-ready amp, and all you have to do is turn on one little switch, and the turntable automatically found my amp and started working. [I]ncredible … It’s a beautiful and brilliant little machine.”
4. Turn your home into a museum
Art lovers, rejoice. Instead of spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on classic masterpieces, just buy a smart art frame. The Meural Canvas II lets you access 30,000 works of art in just one digital canvas.
You can also use it to showcase your own photos, paintings, drawings and more, which makes it a great way to save on printing and framing costs. This premium frame goes well with both modern and classic homes. Plus, it comes in many sizes: Here’s the 19″ x 29″ frame, a perfect size for drinking in the rich images on your screen.
Promising review: “What has really surprised me is how much we talk about what’s on the frame and how much everyone learns from it. I’ve put as many playlists as it can have on it, and they all cycle through, and since it’s in the kitchen for us, [during] most meals, we will talk about one of the paintings. We’ve learned a lot from it and that’s surprised me. The family talks about it a lot and I would buy [it] again.”
5. Get a cinema-sized screen for better movie nights
Want to upgrade your tiny home TV? Check out this massive LG Smart TV with an 83-inch screen. Thanks to its 4K resolution, you won’t miss a single detail the next time you binge your favorite show.
