ROFL! The funniest part was to hear about the people laughing at you at the park...second was the thought of them laughing at you in your beanie/headlight/Bluetooth-speaker combo!
Much respect for having a channel your size and in your category without sponsorships and brand deals. I'm sure you're missing out on a lot of revenue to keep your videos this professional.
I don't plan on buying any products you review (and who knows, maybe one day I will) but these are fun to watch! You're very honest and humble about the products, even the ones that don't work because you try to look for the good in all of them.
My dad got a beanie like that for Christmas, and as a trucker often working in a cold environment, namely his refrigerated trailer, he LOVES it and others are always asking him where he got it. Me my brother and cousin all got ones that had speakers but no light and I use mine quite often when grocery shopping.
I have the motion sickness glasses and, as someone with chronic vestibular migraines causing chronic vertigo, I find them very helpful to cope with car riding.
That beanie would have come in handy when I was out on those cold dark snowy nights outside delivering mail. Seems like a perfect chirstmas gift for your mailman/lady. (hint hint)
I’ve watched your videos for years. This is actually the first time I’ve ever bought anything as a result. My girlfriend gets motion sickness so I just bought these glasses using your link. Hopefully this helps her out!
I just put in a comment, but I thought I’d reply directly to people who say they suffer from motion sickness. Try Sea Bands, available in pharmacies or on Amazon. I’ve used them on scuba diving trips for years, and they work like a charm!
The motionsick glasses may be great for long road trips. Inside the car with family/friends, I wouldn't care how ridiculous I looked as long as they worked I remember a trip up the mountains on those twisty windy roads.... wooo boy, not fun lol. Would have been handy in that situation.

I have a really weird experience. I used to get sick whenever I tried to read in a moving vehicle so I never did it but recently I tried reading in a moving car again and I didn't get sick at all. I guess you can get used to stuff eventually.
I have that beanie and it is fantastic. Where I am in Canada, the winter is dark and long and this hat makes me feel so much more secure walking the dog and I can listen to music and still hear what is going on around me. As a woman walking alone in the dark, that is a good thing.
I use chopsticks when I eat hot Cheetos, funny to see someone made a tool with that same idea in mind. But chopsticks still seem a lot more cost effective, especially if you already own them
I eat one at a time, always use the same two fingers. Rotate the Hot Cheetoh between fingers a few times, then eat and repeat. Once bag is gone you've maximized the Hot Cheetoh dust to finger ratio and can lick.
@@TakBonez I like the two finger rule. I think that’s fine if you’re just watching something on Netflix or RUclips. But if you’re playing a game or messaging you have to avoid that hand’s two fingers from touching and getting everything greasy and cheese dusty
Got the beanie. Got it from a friend at work. He has just been to China. I paid 35 Danish Kroner, around 5.30 $. This was the first time, i had the item you reviewed. Thx for another great video.
The Snactiv. I didn't know I needed it in my life, but I absolutely hate snacking while doing things because your fingers get dirty. Thank you James for bringing it to my attention!
In terms of the Snactiv, I got like 8 of those on AliExpress for like $5. They're not as fancy, just plastic, but they work just as well. I can't believe someone went on Shark Tank with this product which is just a 3D printing file lol
unless those ali express ones were copies of the snactiv... its insane for 20 bucks when it is just a small plastic thing im pretty sure theres tons of items that have been funded that could have been created at home with a finicky, difficult, expensive device that most people dont have...
One thing you may have wanted to test with the Snactiv would be chips that you'd want to dip in to salsa or ranch dip or something. It probably works but it might not be as good at maneuvering to collect dip on the chip.
Love the beanie! We have one with just the headlamp....no blue tooth, but we use them to feed our animals in the dark early mornings and evenings. Works great!
I saw an ad for the Snacktiv and started using chopsticks. Still, it could be useful for people with low hand mobility. A long version might even be useful in place of regular chopsticks or even a fork for those who can't grip one.
I tried Snactiv and it was a big fail for me. James only tested it with snacks in bowls. I think most people eat snacks out of the bag or box, which he didn't test. The big difference is unless it is a big bag you can't make a fist and put it in the bag/box without scraping the sides. So you instead make a flat hand (paper for rock, paper, scissors). With flat hand these barely stick out farther than your fingers. So unless you lift the bag to look carefully, and are very careful, your fingers will brush the sides or brush the snacks since you have to put your hand in so deep. Instead I use some cheap seven inch tweezers that I ordered online. The tweezers can be used without looking into the bag, unless you use fragile chips, and the fine tip doesn't collect much 'debris'. And picking it and putting it down is not a big deal.
@@elementalist1984 It's more like one of those products that if you are part of a demographic, makes all the sense in the world to buy into. I can think of three kinds of people who would want this. Gamers are probably the first type. It keeps your mouse/keyboard/controller clean from stains/grease. Related to the first - the second might be those who do a lot of work in front of their computer. Whether you are a student, office worker, or somebody who does a lot of editing work, people who are stuck in front of their computer hours at a time would benefit. Then there is the third type. People who hate messy eating. For these, it can be just be a mild annoyance, or full blown OCD who just can't deal with stuff on their hands. For these, this is also a solution. One of the great things about creating something isn't necessarily about a solution in search of a problem, but rather something that has wide applications that extend beyond a small group of people, and in my opinion, this is marketed brilliantly.
if you had lived in a place that actually gets snow and its cold, and you like to run or ski in the evening I would say that the beanie would be a lot more useful
Just a possible suggestion: when you test review items that are related to mobile phones, would you mind testing them with a phone case over the phone? Many people (like myself) invest in phone cases to prevent damage to our phones or grips like pop-stands, but many, MANY accessories are not made to compensate for the extra size irregularities and are nearly useless. Knowing this before purchasing would be great!
The glasses really work! I have used them for years when going on screen rides at Universal! You only have to wear them for a very short time and then take them off! They work for me for the rest of the day!
I just put in a comment, but I thought I’d reply directly to people who say they suffer from motion sickness. Try Sea Bands, available in pharmacies or on Amazon. I’ve used them on scuba diving trips for years, and they work like a charm!
As someone who suffers from motion sickness really badly, I got a pair of glasses similar to what you used, I found it can help, but only in situations where the motion is fairly minor, but don't get rid of the feeling. When you get big waves, really twisty bumpy roads, and/or turbulence they don't do too much as the liquid is kinda all over the place. Honestly after a few times trying them I gave up using them. I gave them to my brother who gets motion sick, but not nearly as bad as me and they did better. Major waves/bad roads would still get to him, but he could play on his phone in the car no problem on normal roads. Overall, mileage will vary like most motion sick items, but worth a shot if you find a fairly cheap pair. I'll stick with meds haha.
Im like you in that i tend to get very motion sick, but ive never really seen a need for these type of devices, in like being on a boat they are totally useless, and even driving in a car, well the solution ive found that always works and costs absolutely nothing, put the phone down roll the window just a tad so you have some air blowing past your face and watch the stuff moving outside, seems like a better option than playing a game on a phone for 20 minutes then hurling at the side of the road or plastering moms spaghetti down the side of the family truckster at 55 miles an hour
That beanie looks perfect for dog walking in the winter! It gets dark so early, you’re inevitably going to have a dark walk! Sometimes I wear a headlamp anyway, or have to dig out in my pocket to find my phone. So that would be ideal, plus I get tunes!
The neck pillow Makes my neck hurt by looking at it 🤣🤣 I would feel Im back in my neck brace again where no matter what I did I couldn’t get comfortable
I have sensory issues and I'm ordering the Snacktiv immediately. I already use chopsticks but the feature that allows me to continue use of my keyboard and mouse is appealing.
The first product is very useful if they could later come out with a version that doubles as like a bad clip that would be great so you don’t lose it and you know exactly where it is because it is sitting on your chips bag
Snactiv is an interesting item, I would have added a test with a corded controller to see if the cord might get snagged on it. It does what it says but it is over priced.
It seems like a great idea that is overpriced as heck, but i also dont like the idea of typing with it on, i get the whole it will keep your fingers clean for your keys, but i still think that you could end up with food dust or schmoo ending up on the keyboard just from the device bouncing around above the keys, especially on bigger keyboards with mechanical keys, for me i just would use a keyboard condom (those plastic sheets for keyboards) and just clean my fingers, though for me i would also probably end up getting the mouse all dirty.
There's people out there like Linus from linustechtips, Lew from unbox therapy and Dave2D reviewing eye-watering priced, high-end tech gadgets, then there's this guy who reviews dollar store "tech" gadgets ...🤣
I might invest in the glasses. Just watching you on the Merry go around for that short of time, I started getting sick! I got VERY sick when I was in a Merry go round years ago and now I can't hardly twirl around once before getting sick! I would not care if I looked goofy if it works.
I think the snactiv is my fav. Long time user of regular chopsticks for snacks, so I pick them up take a chip, set them down. Repeat, repeat, repeat. The snactiv would be a time saving upgrade. But yes, as you said, they are a bit pricey. Thanks, James, for the incites and entertainment.
Rosanna Pansino has a kitchen gadget review up today too including the Snactiv and hers were much cheaper, bought on Shein. It might not be worth the trade off if it takes forever to ship. But wanted to mention cheaper options are out there
I enjoy watching your reviews as I know you will tell the truth about the items. If I had the money to spend I would buy what you recommend as good buys. Even though I can't afford to buy your videos are interesting enough. Keep up the great work.
@@jngobngo yeah, I've also come across them with without the light as well,.and always thought about getting one but figured the sound wouldn't be very good. This does give me more hope haha
I have a Bluetooth sleep mask made by the same company as the beenie and they work really well as i need sound to go to sleep and my wife likes it quiet. Good product!
I bought the beany about 2 years ago, for a fisho friend, he loves it also wears it when working on the car or going to the shed. Friend has the glasses and said they have stopped her from getting motion sickness.may look wacky, but really do work 😊😃
We have a couple of kids plastic chopsticks that are joined at the top for chips to keep out fingers clean. And since they are pretty long, you can eat the snacks straight from the bag and be able to reach the bottom. That phone pillow thingy is ridiculous.
I just put in a comment, but I thought I’d reply directly to people who say they suffer from motion sickness. Try Sea Bands, available in pharmacies or on Amazon. I’ve used them on scuba diving trips for years, and they work like a charm!
As a flight attendant I sometimes get motion sick during taxi. I'm just picturing wearing those glasses while going down the aisle doing compliance checks before takeoff. That would be a sight lmao
Hey James! I hope you see this and consider checking out the eight sleep products! They seem super interesting but I wonder if it's truly worth the price!
the headlight beanie would be great if there was a cover for the headlight. thin piece of dark cloth or even something with a logo (customizable logo, perhaps?).
I'm curious about the battery life of the beanie. Using the Bluetooth headset feature while laying in bed could be beneficial especially for people like me who prefer hearing something while trying to fall asleep.
I get motion sickness pretty easily, so thank you for the review - I didn't know such a thing existed! I also don't think anybody cares what they look like when they're queasy. I'd rather look stupid, but rapidly start feeling better, than look sick and miserable.

@@FflawedMetalhead They work extremely well for me and for most of the people I have lent them to. I guess nothing is 100%, but I won't get into a dive boat without them. Acupressure is similar to acupuncture, without the needles. Similar principle. Also similar to trigger point therapy. All I can tell you is they have worked very well for me. And if you buy them at a pharmacy, you can probably return them if they don't work. Good luck! Motion sickness, and nausea in general, sucks!
To all of you saying the snaktiv is useless. Stop being so ableist. Many disabled people can’t use chopsticks. These would be a great alternative for those who get spasms in their hands or suffer from other motor control issues. James, please consider adding a quick disability disclaimer to your awesome reviews. Something like ‘While some of these items may not seem useful to you. Before commenting, please consider that they may help those with disabilities.’ Thanks go to Barry Lewis’ channel for his disclaimer. Thanks for great content James.
I agree with you, even though when I held my fingers as if with the device, it immediately hurt me. But I accept that’s just me, and others would really benefit. I’d try them out, but not at that price! One of the cheapies maybe.
About feeling ridiculous wearing the blue tooth beanie, just turn it around to where the light is at the back of your head. You can still listen to music since the headphones will still be where your ears are. Then when you're in need of the light function, just spin it back around.
Can you rate top 5 or 10 bluetooth beanies based on sound quality, comfort ability, bonus features, etc? I use a Nearon Beanie currently and the USB plug in the beanie is so fragile you can easily damage it to the point of not being able to charge it anymore, would be cool to find a sturdier one with the same or better audio quality.
These actually look like all great products that do what they are supposed to do and do it well. Well except for the glasses lol, they look ridiculous lol
I have a head light beanie and its great as a scout leader i go outside in the dark loads and being able to be hands free and not have a bulky head torch is so helpful May have to splash out on the music one too
I have a supervisor who wears that beanie. I think they do look rather ridiculous. I teased them once and said If you pull that down over your eyes you’d look like a cyclops. But according to them it is pretty useful as a headlamp. They load trucks with a pallet car and they use it to light the dark trailers.

I can just see those glasses as part of every sailors off shore gear. Lol
I got the fridge fork based on his review, my wife eats olives out of the fridge like they're going out of style so it works out well
Freakin reviews: "There's a strange creature in my yard"
Me: "It's a Bailen"
I could see the beanie being really good for someone that takes early morning jogs, or walks at night a lot, or maybe even camping
Snactiv looks like it would be great for amputees that have lost partial fingers as well
Good call!
We recently lost our Boxador of eight years (RIP Stella) and seeing Bailey was good medicine. Baaaaaaailey.

Hi, James! Thanks for all the entertaining videos you have made for us over the years! 🎩 💚
Thank you very much. I'm glad you enjoy my videos.
I have the motion sickness glasses and, as someone with chronic vestibular migraines causing chronic vertigo, I find them very helpful to cope with car riding.
That beanie would have come in handy when I was out on those cold dark snowy nights outside delivering mail. Seems like a perfect chirstmas gift for your mailman/lady. (hint hint)
My thoughts exactly. Mail delivery or any other outdoor job where you need both hands. Or hiking. Or night photography.
A few weeks ago I noticed a mailman working late in my neighborhood delivering mail and he was wearing exactly such a beanie.
I’ve watched your videos for years. This is actually the first time I’ve ever bought anything as a result. My girlfriend gets motion sickness so I just bought these glasses using your link. Hopefully this helps her out!

Depending on how often she gets the sickness use Bonine. Take one the night before and one day of whenever doing something thst causes it.
The motionsick glasses may be great for long road trips. Inside the car with family/friends, I wouldn't care how ridiculous I looked as long as they worked
I remember a trip up the mountains on those twisty windy roads.... wooo boy, not fun lol. Would have been handy in that situation.
Indeed. I can't even read for 10 minutes after getting in a car without motion sickness. I might get similar glasses and give them a try.
I just wish it would help against fear of heights, then I would wear them quite a lot :')

Haha, I've always wondered if those Bluetooth built-in beanie hats were actually any good. Looking forward to this one!
My friend had one in 2016 before they were common, although theirs had no light. Used to wear it at work and nobody noticed haha
@@jngobngo yeah, I've also come across them with without the light as well,.and always thought about getting one but figured the sound wouldn't be very good. This does give me more hope haha
They've been around for 10-15 years at least.
@@Pienimusta I know. That's why I said I always wondered if they were actually any good.
I have a Bluetooth sleep mask made by the same company as the beenie and they work really well as i need sound to go to sleep and my wife likes it quiet. Good product!
I have the same product. Mine is called MusiCozy. Works really well!
I bought the beany about 2 years ago, for a fisho friend, he loves it also wears it when working on the car or going to the shed. Friend has the glasses and said they have stopped her from getting motion sickness.may look wacky, but really do work 😊😃
Looks like you may poke the screen on a laptop with the snack gadget.
I didn't, but you make a good point.
Paint the frames of the motion sickness glasses and they'd be your new steampunk glasses. 😂
If it weird that I'm annoyed that people call stocking caps beanies. Beanie is that hat with the propeller on it
Maybe these could actually be more useful than I first thought.
We have a couple of kids plastic chopsticks that are joined at the top for chips to keep out fingers clean. And since they are pretty long, you can eat the snacks straight from the bag and be able to reach the bottom. That phone pillow thingy is ridiculous.
I suffer from major motion sickness; I even have issues playing some videogames.... I might give it a try with games I couldn't play..
I just put in a comment, but I thought I’d reply directly to people who say they suffer from motion sickness. Try Sea Bands, available in pharmacies or on Amazon. I’ve used them on scuba diving trips for years, and they work like a charm!
As a flight attendant I sometimes get motion sick during taxi. I'm just picturing wearing those glasses while going down the aisle doing compliance checks before takeoff. That would be a sight lmao
Not for where Jame lives, but the hat could be used while shoveling or snow blowing.
Absolutely love your videos! You should have your own television show! I'm surprised one of the networks hasn't picked you up yet.
It's kinda awkward lugging around a meter long " pillow "
One thing that used to always make me get motion sickness is when I bent over to tie my shoes while the car was moving.
"...use it in a pinch." Heh...
Chip Chopsticks count me in 😂. Always love your Reviews and advice 🤙
Mmm, flaming hot Cheetos...my acid reflux wants to have a violent word with you for activating my craving 😂
Hey James! I hope you see this and consider checking out the eight sleep products! They seem super interesting but I wonder if it's truly worth the price!
What is the eigjt sleep products please ? Thanks
the headlight beanie would be great if there was a cover for the headlight. thin piece of dark cloth or even something with a logo (customizable logo, perhaps?).
you need to stick your pinky out when you pick up those snacks.
I'm curious about the battery life of the beanie. Using the Bluetooth headset feature while laying in bed could be beneficial especially for people like me who prefer hearing something while trying to fall asleep.
I frequently use chopsticks for chips because I hate messy fingers. I like the idea of the snacktiv.
I get motion sickness pretty easily, so thank you for the review - I didn't know such a thing existed! I also don't think anybody cares what they look like when they're queasy. I'd rather look stupid, but rapidly start feeling better, than look sick and miserable.

@@rubymermaid7005 I've seen those sold for awhile, but they always seemed a little too expensive for something that might be hooey.
@@FflawedMetalhead They work extremely well for me and for most of the people I have lent them to. I guess nothing is 100%, but I won't get into a dive boat without them.
Acupressure is similar to acupuncture, without the needles. Similar principle. Also similar to trigger point therapy. All I can tell you is they have worked very well for me. And if you buy them at a pharmacy, you can probably return them if they don't work.
Good luck! Motion sickness, and nausea in general, sucks!
To all of you saying the snaktiv is useless. Stop being so ableist. Many disabled people can’t use chopsticks. These would be a great alternative for those who get spasms in their hands or suffer from other motor control issues. James, please consider adding a quick disability disclaimer to your awesome reviews.
Something like ‘While some of these items may not seem useful to you. Before commenting, please consider that they may help those with disabilities.’
Thanks go to Barry Lewis’ channel for his disclaimer. Thanks for great content James.
I agree with you, even though when I held my fingers as if with the device, it immediately hurt me. But I accept that’s just me, and others would really benefit. I’d try them out, but not at that price! One of the cheapies maybe.
that pillow is silly as hell
I have a very similar neck phone holder and it doesn't have a pillow and it does get uncomfortable after long sessions. Great to play my switch with
About feeling ridiculous wearing the blue tooth beanie, just turn it around to
where the light is at the back of your head. You can still listen to music since the headphones
will still be where your ears are. Then when you're in need of the light function, just spin it back
around.
Can you rate top 5 or 10 bluetooth beanies based on sound quality, comfort ability, bonus features, etc? I use a Nearon Beanie currently and the USB plug in the beanie is so fragile you can easily damage it to the point of not being able to charge it anymore, would be cool to find a sturdier one with the same or better audio quality.
Saw your post on twitter, I was not disappointed by the video
These actually look like all great products that do what they are supposed to do and do it well. Well except for the glasses lol, they look ridiculous lol
I have a head light beanie and its great
as a scout leader i go outside in the dark loads and being able to be hands free and not have a bulky head torch is so helpful
May have to splash out on the music one too
more giving products objective values and then ranking them based on those values
It looks like I could forget I was using Snactiv and poke an eye.
I have a supervisor who wears that beanie. I think they do look rather ridiculous. I teased them once and said If you pull that down over your eyes you’d look like a cyclops. But according to them it is pretty useful as a headlamp. They load trucks with a pallet car and they use it to light the dark trailers.
