Bose Quiet Comfort 20-Acoustic Noise Cancelling Headphones
I wish I’d gotten these headphones sooner! The noise cancelling function is the best thing about them. Once that is turned on, the background noise fades to nothing. You can’t hear your seatmate. You can’t hear the flight attendant asking you what you want to drink. (There is a button to push to allow you to hear the outside world when you need to.) This product has made airline travel much more bearable for me. These headphones fit in the ear, not over the ears, which I find those more comfortable to wear on long flights. They work reasonably well with a neck pillow. They are compatible with headphone socket on most airlines’ seat back entertainment devices. The battery lasts for a long international flight. They come with a nice case and charger cord.
I have taken about 10 flights with these headphones and they are the first thing I pack in my carry on.
aLLreli 4 Port USB Wall Charger with International Plugs
This is designed to recharge up to 4 mobile devices using USB cables. It has a nifty interchangeable adapter system with 4 different international adapters. I like this because it packs a lot in a small package. This is good if you are visiting just one or two countries with different electrical plugs and use mostly USB cables to charge your devices. It has enough power to charge the phone, tablet, and my exercise charger at once. Just make sure you have the correct USB cables for your devices, and that you bring the correct adapter for the country you are visiting.
Anker Power + Core Mini Charger 3350mAH
I carry this mini phone charger at all times. It comes with its own pouch, and the cables fit in easily. Being compact and lightweight, it is helpful for a quick recharge for the phone. It will only recharge a phone one time, and will not recharge a tablet all the way. But it definitely helps when I am out all day.
Its important to know that while it comes with the USB charging cable, you will need a separate cable to charge the iPhone-Lightning to USB.
This is what I bought:
Belkin Apple Certified MIXIT Metallic Lightning to USB Cable, 6 Inches
This braided cable can stay plugged in to the USB port on the mini-charger and ready for use. I like the short cable length because it’s easier to pack into the carrying pouch and doesn’t get tangled.
So that’s a round up of the travel tech devices that I’m using now. Let me know what works for you and what devices help you while traveling.
The headphones work so well, I made her buy me a set!
