If you like to listen to music for long periods of time, you'll want headphones that are lightweight and comfortable and can last all day. Fortunately, the Endo Wireless Headphones ($44.99) meet the bill. They are surprisingly light and have a soft, rubbery feel that is quite comfortable.

I finally embraced Apple's modern phone design, with no headphone jack. I used the headphone jack often, so I was hesitant to move to the newer iPhones without the inherent ability to charge while listening. The opportunity to use wireless charging helped; but for long plane or train rides, which I find myself on too often, you will want a way to listen and charge, via Lightning, simultaneously. Enter the Pioneer Rayz Plus ($129.95–$149.95).

I'm always on the lookout for a great battery pack. I attend a lot of tradeshows and am away from a power outlet for most of the day. In preparation for such a show next week, I'm taking the Mini External Battery Backup Charger ($19.97–$39.99) from LAX Gadgets.

I had the opportunity to try Arlo Q 1080p HD Security Camera with Audio ($199.99) from Netgear. I liked the 1080p HD quality recording and Night Vision with Motion Alerts. I also liked two-way speaker and microphone.

When you have an expensive piece of technology like the iPhone X you want to protect it but also show it off like a piece of art, and put it to use. The best way to do that is with an equally impressive case that serves as a frame for your high-tech artwork, and protects it at the same time. I had the opportunity to try several Leather Wallet Cases ($39–69) from Burkley.

Now that I have an iPhone X and iPhone 8 in my household, I'm anxious to find the ideal Qi-based wireless charger. I think I may have found it. The LAX Qi Wireless Charging Pad Stand ($26.97) from LAX Gadgets has a lot to offer.

If Siri integration doesn't matter to you, you don't have to pay $150 or more for Apple AirPods when there are true wireless Bluetooth earbuds like the LTwins True Wireless Sports Bluetooth Headset ($59.99) from LifeCharge. Just like the Apple earbuds, the LTwins come in a charging case and they charge in just 2 hours.

Just because you paid $1,000 or more for an iPhone X doesn't mean you have to pay $50 or more for a protective stylish case. That's the idea behind a wide variety of cases from Caseology ($10.99–$13.99). Given the price range, I'm a believer!

If you have an expensive and fragile iPad, you'll want to protect it, especially if it's going to be in the hands of kids. A great way to do so is with the BlackBelt Rugged Case for iPad ($59.99) from Kensington. There are many thoughtful features in this case. Schools and other institutions will appreciate that an asset tag can be viewed by flipping open the kickstand.

With the weather turning, now is the time to consider the ClimateCase 700 Series ($28.95). It's easy to forget and leave your iPhone in your car overnight where it can be exposed to low temperatures. And in the summer, the same is true of high temperatures. That's where the ClimateCase comes in.
