Okay okay okay I know I said I wouldn’t buy another gadget… but some things just push you over the edge.
I’ve lived in so many shared houses, worked from home for years, edited videos at stupid hours, produced music in bedrooms that definitely weren’t meant to be studios, and honestly? A lot of these buys came from pure frustration.

I started with the cheap stuff. Like “this will do for now” cheap. Some was awful. Some was incredddible. After 10 years, 5 home studios, and way too many Amazon orders later — these are the electronics I bought out of annoyance that actually stuck around.

Noise Cancelling Headphones

Living with other people is loud. Always. These were a rage-buy after one too many phone calls, cooking sessions, and housemates discovering TikTok at full volume. Total 👏GAME👏CHAN👏GER for work-from-home days, editing sessions, and zoning into music without losing your mind.

USB Desk Fan

Hot rooms. Bad airflow. Old houses. Enough said. Bought this mid-heatwave because I couldn’t focus and honestly didn’t expect much. Turns out it’s quiet, actually moves air, and lives on my desk year-round now. Amazinnngg how something so simple can save your mood.

Wireless Charging Pad

Cables everywhere. Always the wrong cable. Always missing. This was bought out of pure laziness and irritation, but it’s stayed because it just works. Drop phone. Charge happens. No thinking required. My kind of tech.

Power Strip with Individual Switches

This one’s boring but incredddible. Studio gear, monitors, kitchen gadgets — everything draining power all the time. Being able to click things on and off individually feels weirdly powerful. Also saved me from constantly unplugging stuff like an idiot.

Smart Plug

Bought this because I kept forgetting to turn things off. Now lights, speakers, heaters, and random electronics are on schedules. Feels futuristic. Also feels like I’ve finally got my life slightly together (slightly).

Compact Bluetooth Speaker

This was meant to be “just a temporary solution” for cooking, baking days, and background music while working. Spoiler: it never left. Loud enough for rooms, small enough to move, and perfect for those “one more song” moments.

Final thoughts

Most of these weren’t researched for weeks. They were bought in moments of I cannot deal with this anymore. And honestly? Some of the best tech decisions I’ve made came from mild rage and inconvenience.

If you live with other people, work from home, cook a lot, make music, edit video, or just hate friction in daily life — these are worth a look.
