Enjoy podcasts, music, or the sweet sound of silence when you fly, with unbeatable active noise cancellation. These cans also boast top-notch sound quality, with a multiband EQ to make the most of any audio source. The new folding design also makes it easier than ever to stow them away for travel.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Courtesy of Apple<\/p>\n Powerful and portable, the svelte Apple MacBook Air (M4, 2025) is the best of the best laptops, and perfect for business travelers looking to get some work done in the office or on the move. You can expect slick performance, long battery life, and a lovely bright display. Apple\u2019s M4 chipset supports two 4K external monitors and on-device AI processing.

Pop in a 5G SIM to enjoy a tri-band Wi-Fi 6E router (2.4-, 5-, and 6-GHz). The design is durable, the 2.8-inch touchscreen is useful, there\u2019s a 2.5-gigabit Ethernet port, and the battery will last you all day (I got 11 hours before having to charge). You can connect up to 32 devices and expect a range of around 1,000 square feet.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Courtesy of Amazon<\/p>\n Need to make a stellar first impression on that presentation you crossed an ocean to give? Keep those pearly whites gleaming with the Oral-B Pro 1000. Top of WIRED\u2019s best electric toothbrushes guide, this is a reliable and effective way to clean your teeth. The Pro 1000 sports a circular oscillating brush head that can get in everywhere, and it buzzes every 30 seconds to prompt you to clean each quadrant of your mouth. You can also expect 10 days of battery life when fully charged.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Courtesy of Amazon<\/p>\n Asus<\/p>\n Connect all your gadgets to the Asus RT-AX57 Go travel router before you leave for a trip and you only have to worry about connecting one device at your destination. This dual-band Wi-Fi 6 router has gigabit WAN and LAN Ethernet ports to plug into a modem, port in your hotel, or any other internet source. It can connect to public Wi-Fi, and you can even connect your phone to the USB 3.2 port and use the RT-AX57 Go as a hotspot to magnify your cell connection. The Asus RT-AX57 Go also comes with security software and VPN support, making it one of the best Wi-Fi routers around.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Courtesy of Ceptics<\/p>\n Ceptics<\/p>\n The best travel adapters enable globetrotters to plug in all their gadgets. The Ceptics GaN 70W Universal Travel Adapter is first in our bag for every trip because it covers more than 200 countries and has a secure locking slider design that pushes out EU, UK, and US plugs (you can rotate the pins for sockets in Australia and China). We love the retractable 25-inch USB-C cable that goes up to 70 watts, but you also get an additional USB-C port and two USB-A ports, making this the only charger you need to pack.<\/p>\n Photograph: Julian Chokkattu<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Photograph: Julian Chokkattu<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Photograph: Julian Chokkattu<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n If you\u2019re an Apple person, you probably have an iPad, but for everyone else, Android-powered slates have really improved in recent years, and this is the best Android tablet right now.
