Vasco Translator V4 AI translator
by Bill Henderson
When coming up with that perfect Valentine’s gift, why would a universal translator ever cross your mind? Consider this scenario—you are involved with someone who speaks only English, but your family includes members from another country who don’t speak the language at all. Rather than constantly translating for your significant other, you can gift them a universal translator, such as the Vasco Translator V4.
The Vasco Translator V4 AI translator harnesses the power of 10 translation engines in one device. It supports up to 108 languages helping you speak, read, and have interactive conversations. It’s great for travel, work, or even just conversing with your grandparents.
There are many useful features of the V4 translator:
- Voice Translator: Understand speech with a push of a button (76 languages)
- Photo Translator: Translate text from an image (108 languages)
- Text Translator: Understand typed or recorded phrases (90 languages)
- Learning App: Help you learn vocabulary (28 languages)
The Vasco V4 can translate easily in the loudest surroundings (like those family gatherings). Precise microphone and background noise reduction (up to 99%) will let you speak freely and translate every word clearly.
The V4 comes in 5 colors and sells for $389. There are no additional costs or data limits with free and unlimited connectivity for life. What is love and happiness between the love of your life and your family worth?

Shokz OpenFit Open Ear Headphones
by Andy Chen
Love may hurt, but earbuds don’t have to! Airpods and other in-ear headphones hurt my ears after a while, but not the Shokz OpenFit Open Ear Headphones. Instead of sitting inside your ear, these rest just outside. Because they don’t seal the ear, you maintain excellent situational awareness. I wore them for three hours and felt no significant discomfort or pain. They don’t have “huge” bass because of the open-air design, but I consider it good enough and pleasant. The comfort alone is worth it.
They feature up to 7 hours of listening on a single charge, and up to 28 hours with the charging case. Connects to your favorite device with Bluetooth 5.2 and comes in black or beige.
Price: $179.95

Govee Envisual TV backlight T2
by Howard Sneider
The Govee Envisual TV backlight T2 makes a perfect Valentine’s Day gift because it creates an immersive viewing experience of your favorite rom-com or action movie. The Govee backlight is easy to install and is compatible with most TVs. Once installed, the dual camera system analyzes the displayed picture and signals the LED backlight array to illuminate accordingly so it appears that color leaps off of your screen, making that scene of the couple kissing in front of the fireworks all that more dramatic. Additionally, the Govee Envisual TV backlight T2 can be customized with various color options and brightness levels, allowing for a personalized touch. It also integrates with the Govee Distrigate IoT network, so the operation of the system can be coordinated with other IoT technologies. Want a classy start to your Valentine’s Day festivities? Use Distrigate to turn down the lights and cue the TV backlight with the press of a button.
Price: $109.99 – $159.99

Govee Glide Hexa Light Panels
by Matt Gregersen
If you’re looking for some mood lighting for your special person (or persons), an excellent option is the Govee Glide Hexa Light Panels. I’ve had a set in my office since I reviewed them last year and I still love the huge range of lighting setups I can do with them. Govee has a large and growing library of animated “scenes”, including music-responsive modes that would be perfect for the Valentine’s holiday (and year round for that matter). I like the “campfire” scene, the deep orange and reds glowing and flickering like a fire would be a great mood-setter.
In addition to beautiful ambient room lighting, I use mine as illumination for remote work video calls since they’re on the wall facing me, and can fine tune the color to compensate for the monitor’s light cast on my face. The flexibility of placement is also fantastic, you can do any pattern you’d like (following a hexagonal structure) and you can even add more panels as needed. Each panel also has multiple lighting zones as you can see in the picture above, as well as light that’s thrown back onto the wall or ceiling around the panels themselves.
The Govee Glide Hexa Light Panels are going to make a great Valentine’s Day gift for anyone that appreciates massively flexible and eye-pleasing lighting. They’re also on sale for Valentine’s Day, which is like an extra present for you.
Price: $119.99 for the 10-pack (normally $179.99)
