Sony WH-1000XM4 Headphones
I was holding out for Apple's rumoured headphones, but once the AirPods Max launched at a steep S$849, I bought the Sony WH-1000XM4 instead. iShopChangi had a promotion, and with a coupon I got it for S$439.

Sonoff T2UK Wi-Fi Smart Wall Switch Review
Since starting my smart home in 2016, I'd relied on MCO Z-Wave switches, but my Series 4 units began failing after a year. This review covers my move to the Wi-Fi-based Sonoff T2UK smart wall switch.
Ugreen NVMe M.2 SSD USB-C Case
The Ugreen NVMe M.2 SSD USB-C Case comes in two variants on Lazada: S$31 with both USB-C and USB-A cables, or S$28.90 with just USB-C. Its space-grey aluminium enclosure feels solid, and setup is tool-free.
Ugreen 10W Wireless Charging Stand
The Ugreen 10W Wireless Charging Stand retails for S$21.46, dropping to S$17.90 in flash sales. Its two coils let you charge in portrait or landscape, and it's powered via USB-C, with a USB-A to USB-C cable included.
Ugreen Mobile Phone Stand Holder
The Ugreen Mobile Phone Stand Holder retails for S$12.25, dropping to S$9.90 in flash sales, in black or white. The pole is aluminium alloy with mostly plastic elsewhere, and an aluminium insert in the base adds steadying weight.
LEGO Art Marvel Studios Iron Man 31199
LEGO Art is a new line that turns LEGO into wall art, essentially a guided jigsaw puzzle. It launched in Singapore on 1st August 2020 with four 40cm-square pieces, each S$219.90, including the Marvel Studios Iron Man 31199.
Clear Hard Plastic Case for Apple AirPods Pro
I wanted an AirPods Pro case for under S$10, and found Veticore on Lazada specialising in them. Oddly the plain clear case cost more than printed ones, so I picked the off-white print version for S$4.79.
Bebird M9 Pro – Smart Visual Ear Cleaning Rod
After seeing a SUPERADRIANME review, I bought the Bebird M9 Pro from Lazada, paying just S$38.90. It's a smart visual ear-cleaning rod with a 3MP CMOS camera and Wi-Fi, pairing with the Bebird app.
SanDisk Ultra Dual Drive Go

Ugreen has refreshed its 9-in-1 USB-C hub, now S$0.66 cheaper at S$54.35 on Lazada. Its nine ports include SD and microSD readers, gigabit LAN, VGA, 4K HDMI, three USB 3.0 ports, and a 100W Power Delivery passthrough.
ShieldMask+ Reusable Mask
ShieldMask+ is a reusable, washable mask made in Singapore with four layers, from a moisture-repellent outer to an antibacterial bamboo-fabric inner. It retails for S$18 on Lazada, where it's a top-trending mask rated 4.8/5.
Ugreen Braided USB-C to USB-C Cable (100W)
I got the 1m Ugreen Braided USB-C to USB-C Cable (100W) from Lazada for S$14.45. Available only in black, in 1m and 2m lengths, I ordered it alongside the 50cm USB-C to Lightning cable.
Ugreen Braided USB-C to Lightning Cable
I bought the 50cm Ugreen Braided USB-C to Lightning Cable from Lazada for S$13.77. Ugreen makes high-quality cables cheaply, and at that price it's among the cheapest braided MFi USB-C to Lightning cables you'll find.
UNI-T Mini Sound Lever Meter (UT353BT)
I bought the UNI-T Mini Sound Level Meter (UT353BT) from Lazada for S$31 to measure noise from gadgets like my new PC. Most useful phone apps cost money, so a dedicated meter felt worthwhile.
Momax Q.Power UV-Box
Momax, a Hong Kong accessories maker, offers the Q.Power UV-Box, a UV sanitising box with wireless charging. It retails for S$79.90, though a flash sale and voucher brought mine down to S$63.90; PhoneSoap was the original.
Logitech MX Master 3 Wireless Mouse
My third Logitech MX Master mouse, after the original and the 2S. I bought the MX Master 3 during Lazada's Online Tech Show, where Logitech's discount plus stacked vouchers brought the S$169 mouse down to just S$123.48.
Belkin Economy Series 4-Socket Surge Protector
Turning on my new computer tripped my main circuit breaker, and the PC wouldn't power on afterwards, likely a fried PSU. To guard against future surges, I picked up the Belkin Economy Series 4-Socket Surge Protector.
Logitech G502 Lightspeed Wireless Gaming Mouse
I bought the Logitech G502 Lightspeed Wireless Gaming Mouse from Lazada's Logitech Store during a Lunar New Year sale for S$188, the lowest I've seen against its S$249 RRP. The G502 line confusingly spans three variants.
Waterproof Monopod For GoPro
This Waterproof Monopod for GoPro is a plastic imitation of the aluminium Vicdozia. I grabbed it on Lazada for S$7.80 during the 12/12 sales. The rubber grip is non-slip, with a wrist strap, though it feels cheap.
Smatree Battery For GoPro HERO4
With my GoPro HERO7 Black replacing my five-year-old HERO4 Black, whose battery had failed, I debated whether a S$18 Smatree replacement battery was worth it. I eventually bought it during Lazada's 12/12 sales.
LEGO The Hulkbuster: Ultron Edition 76105
An impulse buy during Lazada's 12/12 flash sale, the LEGO Hulkbuster: Ultron Edition 76105 went for S$147.70, well below its S$199 launch price from March 2018. It's a hefty 1,363-piece set with a new Iron Man.
GoPro Shorty
I bought the GoPro Shorty alongside the Head Strap during Lazada's 12/12 sales, paying S$54, a 10% discount off its S$60 RRP. This mini extension pole and tripod stands 11.7cm closed, extending to 22.7cm.
