Our audio expert (who's also a DJ and music producer!) tested headphones in the Tech Lab and said these blew the Apple AirPods Max headphones out of the ballpark. They’re now Greenwald’s favorite pair of headphones due to their superb sound quality, excellent noise cancellation, and reasonable price range.

Speaking of Apple’s headphones (awkward!), Greenwald and our Tech Lab experts do love the brand’s AirPods Pro 3. These earbuds are comfortable to wear, have great sound quality, are easy to use, and have superb noise cancellation. They come in a compact case that can be thrown in any bag, and if you ever lose these tiny earbuds (guilty), just search for them with the Find My app.

Top-tested fitness tracker

Garmin Venu 3S

Now 38% Off

I’ve worn the Garmin Venu 3S every day, 24 hours a day, to track my steps, the hours I slept, and other general health metrics. I love how slim the design is and how easy it is to quickly track any workout with the click of a button. I track all my runs, walks, hikes, and swims (it’s waterproof!) with this fitness tracker, and I downloaded songs to it to listen to music without my phone. I used it to follow training plans for a half marathon and 5K, too.

My personal favorite headphones are the Sony WH-1000XM5, which our Tech Lab pros also rated as the best pair for travel. They’re comfortable and have excellent noise cancellation—to the point where I only hear my music in a chaotic Penn Station during rush hour. I wear them for hours every day and bring them on every flight, and I love the impressive battery life.

This tiny but mighty speaker can literally fit into my small purse, yet it delivers decent sound volume. It’s the perfect mini speaker to bring to the beach or play quietly in your room when you want to listen to music out loud but not disturb your roommates.

At my desk, I have this power adapter that lets me charge two devices at once. Throughout the day, I plug in my MacBook, iPhone, headphones, and earbuds, and it saves space by using only one outlet. My devices charge quickly, and it’s easy to remember to grab one charger rather than two (as someone forgetful, this is a lifesaver!).

Charge your phone on the go with this wireless portable charger that’s small, compact, and attaches right to the back of your phone via a MagSafe connection. I love this portable charger because I don’t need a wire, so it fits in small purses and makes it easier to charge my phone while at a concert or traveling on the go. But if I want to charge my phone faster, I can use one of the USB-C ports to charge my phone with this power bank with a wire.

Samsung’s Frame TV doubles as a TV and a piece of artwork on your wall, so it can blend into an art gallery or look like a standalone framed painting. Our pros like that it still has great screen quality, but it can match your living room’s aesthetic easily.

Students and artists can benefit from an Apple Pencil, which allows them to draw and write directly on their iPad’s screen. In college, many of my friends used an Apple Pencil to take notes directly on the class PowerPoint slides, which made it much faster to follow along and absorb the material. It’s also a fun tool to use if you want to create digital drawings and paintings.

Watch movies and sports games on this TV that comes in large screen sizes up to 98 inches. “I’ve always been impressed by the combination of value and quality TCL TVs offer,” said Olivia Lipski, a senior writer and product analyst in our Tech Lab. “This particular model delivers a super-bright, colorful picture at a lower price than many premium OLEDs.”

My favorite speaker happens to also be our experts’ pick for the best overall Bluetooth speaker (great minds think alike!). It’s portable, connects to phones easily, and delivers great sound quality. I love that it can get really loud but also stay quiet, so I can play music quietly at the beach but blast it for a backyard party.

“In our Lab testing, we found this speaker reproduced sound accurately across the frequency spectrum, and didn’t produce distortion or other artifacts when pushed to its highest volumes,” Greenwald reported.

This speaker is small but mighty. Greenwald said this speaker is “extremely loud” for its small size, is super portable, and has great bass. “It's shaped like a beverage can, so it fits into the beverage pocket on a backpack,” he explained, adding that the slim profile also makes it easily transportable.
