Some chifi buds and a (Bluetooth) dac.

I have a pair of kz prx (planars, 37 bucks) and a hiby w3II (good enough over by and oké over cable, 40). If you don’t need by I will recommend the trn black pearl as it has the same parts as some of its more expensive counterparts

I was gonna say an OLED monitor but then i saw the 100$ or less

[–] lolcatnip@reddthat.com 2 points 2 days ago

There are other kinds of monitors that come pretty close, but definitely not for under $100. For example, the Nebula display on some Asus laptops, or the Nixeus NX-EDG34S (which is no longer available, but I assume there are equally good monitors available using the same tech).

A microwave sandwich griller. I saw one recommended on another of this type thread, so I gave it a try. You can’t believe how great this thing is. When I worked in an office, I had grilled sandwiches several times a week, and I still use it at home all the time.

Noise canceling headphones. Yes, they exist for under $100, maybe not the best, but they’re a godsend.

Low-profile noise-cancelling earbuds. Lived with a snoring roommate for some months, don't know how I would've slept without those.

CPAP for the roommate and sleep issues for both of you sorted.

For me, literally game changing item is a game controller. For the games with native controller support it is awesome. Its easier and more confortable than mouse and keyboard. Of course it is not comparable with mouse and keyboard, especially in games heavily relied on mouse, but for anything else, on my opinion, it is a better option. My controller is quite cheap, but works well. I bought a controller to see what it is and how different it is for gaming, compared to mouse and keyboard. At first it was difficult, as i did not have an experience with controller, but now i enjoy it.

Eyeing a rice cooker, it's really not a need-to-have but I might go for it... Edit: went for it and got one from my local asia market. :)

Pro tip, you can also cook oatmeal and beans in it and it's better then any other way.

Shower curtain with pockets. Never again will you knock bottles off of those inadequate shelves.

My bathroom has a sliding glass door and I hate it even more now.

One of those flip boards for folding shirts, especially if you’re adhd, it makes it so you can neatly fold them and still see the front of the shirt so no more unfolding a bunch of things to check if it’s what you want and then just get left there unfolded

As someone that works from home and eats a lot of sandwiches; a bread maker. Great for pizza dough too!
