As a general rule, I usually do a lot of research before buying stuff. YouTube, tech blogs and Reddit are some places I recurrently lurk for recommendations, but I do spend some time reading reviews before buying anything, with more time for more expensive stuff.

These are items that I use nearly every day and I would highly recommend. I add to this list fairly frequently as I upgrade or change things out so be sure to check back often!
I'll add affiliate/direct links when I get the time, but for now a simple Google search would take you to the relevant product pages.
