Note: Most of the gadgets on this list work with Fire TV Stick and Fire TV Stick 4K models.
1. HDMI Splitter: Techole 4K Aluminum HDMI Splitter
Do you want to plug in two displays to your Fire TV stick? If yes, your best bet is an HDMI splitter. These simple device lets you have two outputs, meaning you can connect your Fire TV Stick with other TVs and monitors in a different room or location. Of course, that means you’ll need longer HDMI cables. The picture quality isn’t bad either. You just have to keep in mind to use an HDMI 2.0 standard cable while plugging to a device with a 4K display. The Techole 4K Aluminum HDMI Splitter is one of the newer releases and has amassed some pretty good reviews till now. Users really admire its easy-to-use features. Quite a few users have reported that the device is easy to set up and install. HDMI Splitters do not let the duplicated content to be independently controlled — it is merely duplicated. Also, you might want to invest in a longer USB cable for the one in the box is a tad short.
3. USB HUB: UGreen RJ45 Ethernet Adapter
Apart from the LAN cable, you can also connect more peripherals such as keyboards, flash drives, and Bluetooth dongles to your TV, and access wired internet connection.
4. Bluetooth Speakers: JBL Flip 5
Is the built-in speaker of your PC or TV not good enough? If yes, it’s best to hook an external speaker to the device to enjoy your favorite TV show and movie to the fullest. After all, you wouldn’t want to be straining your ears to hear the dialogs. For its small size, the Flip 5 produces a clear and crisp sound output. The audio is precise and balanced. Users are happy with their purchase, with users commending the speaker for its battery life, portability, and sound quality. A 4,800mAh powers it, and you get a pretty solid life on juice. JBL claims 12 hours on moderate volume, and even if you pump it a bit over the moderate volume, you should get about around 10 hours.
5. Bluetooth Earphones: OnePlus Bullets Wireless 2
Bluetooth on the Fire TV Stick means you can also pair your wireless Bluetooth earphones to it. That gives you the independence to watch movies and TV shows in all their glory, without disturbing the rest of the house members. All you need to do is pair and continue your ‘Netflix and chill’ mood. The Bullets Wireless 2 has a solid build and if you take proper care of them, they will stay with you for a long time. I have been using a pair for the last one and a half years, and they are as good as new. More importantly, the sound output is clear and crisp, which make them great for watching movies and TV shows. However, the bass is a little on the lower end. Other than that, the pairing process is quick and instantaneous. All you need to do is put the buds in the pairing mode and search for them through Settings of the Fire TV Stick.
6. Mini Wireless Keyboard: Rii i4 Mini Bluetooth Keyboard with Touchpad
Sure, the remote of the Fire TV Stick is handy and lets you navigate through the apps or activate voice control. However, it’s painful to type using those buttons. That’s when wireless keyboards like the Rii i4 Mini can save your thumbs. The trackpad is smooth and functions well and the key presses have decent tactile feedback. Of course, they’re nowhere close to a proper full-blown keyboard. At the same time, the mouse click bumpers are easy to operate.
