Trending Tech You'll Actually Use: August edition 2025

Every year, there's a new wave of tech that looks flashy — but not all of it sticks. This month, though? We're seeing a shift toward tech that blends into your life and just works. Here are three five gadgets trending this July that are not only popular, but genuinely useful — whether you're commuting, creating content, or just trying to stay charged.

🕶️ 1. Smart Glasses That Do More Than Look Cool

Smart glasses have gone from gimmicky to game-changing. The latest models offer built-in audio, hands-free calling, voice assistant support, and even live translation — all while looking like regular sunnies. No more awkward Bluetooth earpieces or constantly fishing your phone out of your pocket. This all started with Meta partnering with RayBan and more recently Oakley, and the response from the community makes it seem like they are very much here to stay.

For general use these are great for:

  • Biking or walking with audio navigation

  • Quick calls while multitasking

  • Listening to music or podcasts discreetly

  • Looking like the future without feeling like a cyborg

  • creating POV content in public 

If you are looking for some affordable but still very capable smart glasses check out the range we have on Tech-Essentials here.


🎛 2. The Stream Deck Isn’t Just for Gamers Anymore

Originally built for streamers, the Stream Deck has become the go-to productivity hack for anyone who wants instant control over their setup. Each button can be customized to open apps, run commands, switch scenes, control lights — whatever you want.

If you’re into content creation, video calls, or even just work-from-home optimization, this is the ultimate desk upgrade.

Great for:

  • Creators, editors, podcasters

  • Automating Zoom mute/camera toggles

  • Controlling smart lights or macros

  • Making your desk setup actually fun to use

And yes, they look sleek too.

  • Charging phones, laptops, and tablets on the go

  • Digital nomads or commuters

  • Ditching wall sockets for a few days
