You don’t have to work in technology to appreciate tech devices. Some of the coolest devices on the market serve various purposes, from time savers to entertainment, health, and pet care. No matter your level of expertise with tech, once you see these newer gadgets, you’ll want to make them a part of your collection.
1. Audio-Technica ATH-TWX9 Earbuds
Music and podcast listeners wanting a quality listening experience without breaking the bank should consider Audio-Technica’s ATH-TWX9 earbuds. With features like 360 Reality Audio, customizable noise-canceling technology, six hours of battery life, and UV sterilization to neutralize microbes, they’re worth $299.
2. Belkin Auto Tracking Stand Pro
iPhone owners who use their devices for video conferencing, live streaming, video creation, and FaceTime calls will want to get their hands on the newly released Belkin Auto Tracking Stand Pro. It’s a phone mount that silently rotates 360 degrees with an up-and-down tilt of 90 degrees, allowing users to film hands-free for up to five hours before recharging. This device retails for $179.99.
3. Chipolo Perfectly Imperfect Card Spot
If you or someone you know is always misplacing their wallet, the Chipolo Perfectly Imperfect Card Spot can help relieve the stress of finding it. This $35 item tracker is the size of a credit card and fits seamlessly in a wallet. The reason it’s called “perfectly imperfect” is because it has superficial flaws that normally wouldn’t be sold, but it’s a step toward sustainability. $1 from each purchase goes to charity, so it’s practical and contributes to a good cause!
4. Clicks for iPhone
iPhone users who love their devices but prefer an actual keyboard instead of a virtual keyboard are in luck with Clicks for iPhone. Clicks is a case that fits over an iPhone like a normal protective case but with a QWERTY keyboard attached with backlit keys. The virtual, on-screen keyboard doesn’t appear, allowing for the full use of the iPhone’s screen. It’s currently available for iPhone 14 Pro and 15 Pro models for $139 and iPhone 15 Max for $159.
5. EcoFlow DELTA Pro Ultra
If you live in an area prone to power outages and don’t own a generator, here’s the chance to have a backup power source. This battery has enough capacity and output to power a small house. Stack several fully charged batteries together to power a home for an entire month. It can also absorb solar rays to recharge the battery. At $5,799, it’s not cheap, but it’s a much safer, sustainable option over generators.
6. Garmin HRM-Fit
It’s common knowledge that heart health for women differs from men’s, so Garmin developed a heart rate monitor just for women. This wearable technology, selling for $149.99, attaches to the bottom band of sports bras with medium and high support and sends real-time data to a Garmin smartwatch or other compatible devices. With up to one year of battery life, the Garmin HRM-Fit can be used during cycling, indoor and outdoor running, and fitness classes.
7. Invoxia Minitailz Smart Dog Collar
The self-described world’s first biometric health tracking device for dogs is Invoxia’s Minitailz smart dog collar. This device fits most collars, has a GPS tracker in case a dog is lost, checks vital signs, tracks behavioral changes, and identifies when they’re experiencing atrial fibrillation. The app connected to the device collects the data to help pet parents determine when to contact the vet. The collar sells for $99 and has an $8.30 monthly subscription cost. Smart collars for cats should be available by March 2024.
8. Lenovo ThinkBook Plus Gen 5 Hybrid
One of the newest soon-to-be-released entries to the combination of laptop and tablet devices is Lenovo’s ThinkBook Plus Gen 5 Hybrid. Unlike other two-in-one models, the keyboard detaches from the display, with each piece operating individually. When separated, the keyboard can connect to an external monitor while the screen is a tablet. When the keyboard and screen are combined, it makes for a powerful laptop.
9. L’Oreal Airlight Pro
The AirLight Pro by L’Oreal is one of the newer products to hit the beauty market soon. Traditional hair dryers can cause heat damage, but the AirLight Pro uses infrared light technology combined with a high-speed motor to dry hair on the surface while allowing moisture to remain inside each strand, drying the hair faster and protecting it simultaneously. On top of all that, it’s energy efficient as well!
10. Motion Pillow
A $699 pillow may sound like an extravagance, but the Motion pillow is far from a normal pillow. It uses artificial intelligence (AI) to monitor the user’s snoring. It reduces snoring by gently inflating an airbag in the pillow and opening the airways to ease the problem. Not surprisingly, there’s a smartphone app with the Motion pillow to track the user’s sleep patterns, including recording their snoring, how long they sleep, how long they snore, and how long the airbag was deployed.
11. Rabbit R1
The concept of the Rabbit R1 seems strange at first, but it has practical uses. It’s an artificial intelligence (AI) hardware that operates your smartphone for you. Users ask the Rabbit R1 to complete a task on their phones, and it does so without the user having to even touch their phones, freeing them up to do other things while their phones are tucked away.
12. RCA Smart Pet Feeder
Pet parents want to ensure their furry kids have the best and are well-cared for. RCA’s Smart Pet Feeder with two-way audio and a high-definition camera ensures they’re well fed even when mom and dad aren’t around. This automatic food dispenser is compatible with Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa. It’s also equipped with motion detection, night vision, and remote monitoring. The feeder retails for $199 but is worth every penny for the delight it brings to a pet household.
13. Swarovski Optik AX Visio
Swarovski’s Optik AX Visio binoculars are a birder’s dream. They have the typical optical characteristics of traditional binoculars, but they have a third visual feature that sets them apart: a digital sensor to take photos and videos of observed wildlife. Once the binoculars connect to the Swarovski app, it identifies the animals in the images and provides details about them using artificial intelligence (AI). At $4,800, it’s a good investment for serious birdwatchers.
14. Targus Coastline EcoSmart Backpack
The $90 Coastline backpack is Targus’s newest addition to their EcoSmart line of products. The exterior is made from recycled materials and ocean-bound plastic, meaning the plastic was found within 30 miles of a waterway leading to the ocean or an ocean coastline. The backpack can hold a 16-inch laptop securely and has ergonomic shoulder straps. It’s an attractive, functional, and sustainable accessory you’ll want to carry your electronics in.
15. TCL S Class Television
If a 55 or 60-inch flat-screen television seems too small, TCL S Class 98-inch smart television will solve that problem. It has 4K ultra HD resolution, a high brightness LED backlight, Bluetooth personal audio, and hands-free voice control. It’s the next best thing to going to the movies! The TCL S Class is also compatible with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. This set normally sells for $4,999, but as of this writing, it’s selling for $1,999, a 60% discount.
