Beats Solo3 Wireless Headphones ($199.95)

If you’re looking to invest in a pair of noise-canceling headphones, the Beats Solo3 are the way to go. These headphones have gotten me through many plane trips, study sessions, and weekly workouts. They’re not too bulky and come with a zipped case to carry them in while traveling. The noise canceling feature works very well, and the padding on the ears is soft and comfortable. They sound crisp and clear, delivering a high-quality listening experience at a reasonable price.

Anker Nano Power Bank (30W, Built-In USB-C Cable) ($49.99)

FEEL THE POWER

One of my favorite things about this brand-new product from Anker is that it comes with a built-in charging cord. While you do run the risk of the cord itself fraying or breaking, the convenience of always having the charging cord neatly attached ultimately outweighs the cons. This small but mighty portable charger can be charged to 50 percent in 45 minutes and can charge your iPhone to 50 percent in just 30 minutes! Additionally, it’s made with 50 percent recycled plastic to help reduce carbon emissions.
