We’re now at the beginning of the -ber months — October, November, December  — which means potlucks, family stress, and plenty of pumpkin spice lattes. Prepare for the frenzy by arming yourself with some awesome tech.

Here are some of the best tech deals this weekend in the Mashable Shop:

If you want to experience surround sound, you typically have to purchase an entire audio system. With the 360 Earphones, you won’t have to. These earbuds combine electro-acoustic theory and electro-acoustic materials to sound like a home theater system. Seriously, put these on, and you’ll feel like you’re in the middle of a movie theater. Frequencies are separated to provide clarity, and they pack the same bass response you’d get in a subwoofer. The materials produce crystal clear output and block unwanted noise, allowing you to experience sound the exact way it was recorded, in the directional way it was intended.

Smartphones these days are capable of taking crisp, detailed images, but many are still lacking in the zoom department. This detachable lens allows you to shoot photos up to eight times closer without distortion, letting you capture the intricacies of even the smallest of objects. Compatible with Apple, Samsung, HTC, Sony, and Nokia smartphones and tablets, this lens can be clipped on or removed from your camera in seconds and can easily be adjusted just by twisting it.

The thing about watching films at home is that you can’t quite get the same audio impact as you do in actual theaters. This home theater sound bar changes that as it brings your favorite films and music to life with its powerful dual speakers that deliver crisp, Bluetooth 4.0 sound, solid bass, and zero distortion.

Grab it on sale today for $59.99 — marked down from $249.99.

Apple did everyone dirty when they removed all our frequently-used ports from their newest slate of computers. This 6-in-1 USB-C hub brings them all back. You’ll get two USB-C ports, two USB-A 3.0 ports, a slot for an SD card, and microSD ports to give you more flexibility. It also boasts lightning-fast data transmission with a theoretical speed of 5GBps and 5K video out capability.

Give yourself the gift of a cleaning assistant with this top-rated robotic vacuum. It features the AeroForce Cleaning System, delivering up to five times more air power as it wipes out the dust bunnies and spills you have around your house. Its iAdapt Responsive Navigation enables it to clean under and around furniture as well as avoid obstacles, and the built-in spinning side brush effectively cleans wall edges and corners. It also has Dirt Detect™ Series II technology that locates high concentrations of dirt, dust, and pet hair. To make your life easier, it automatically docks and charges, and you can preset up to seven cleanings each week.

Attending concerts and festivals is fun and all, but loud music events can leave you susceptible to tinnitus. For your next concert, make sure to protect your hearing with these invisible smart earplugs. Designed for loud environments, they filter out noise in a way that lets you still enjoy the music and chat with your friends. Thanks to the low-profile design, you can sport these confidently without worrying about getting weird looks from the people around you. They also have an accompanying app that detects the sound level in the area to alert you to how long you can stay and when it’s time to go.

If you have the incessant problem of not being able to find power outlets to charge all your devices at once, this four-port rapid USB charger can solve that very dilemma. It can juice up to four gadgets simultaneously from just one power supply and delivers precisely the right amount of power to each device. Plus, with its sleek, slim design (3/4 of an inch thick), it can help declutter your workspace.

Landed the newest iPhone? Make sure to guard it with your life *and* with this case. It features a tough silicone surface and flannelette interior to house your $1500 device, protecting it from drops, scratches, and everyday wear. It also does away with unnecessary bulk common with most protective cases.

There are some problems around the house — think clogged drains and engine trouble — that can’t be diagnosed with just a quick look and a flashlight. With this endoscopic camera, you can quickly determine what’s causing trouble right at the source. It can snake its way into tight and dark spaces and sends a feed directly back to any device via WiFi. It also features an 8-way adjustable LED, 2 MP resolution camera, and an IP67 waterproof rating.

The MacBook Pro charger is a one-trick pony, only capable of juicing up your laptop. This USB-C adapter transforms it into one powerful brick, adding four more ports so you can charge more devices at once. There’s a QC3.0 port for fast charging, an additional USB-C port, and two regular USB ports for older gadgets.
