Don’t leave home without our top travel tech

-

1 Bluesmart One $449 bluesmart.com

Possibly the smartest suitcase currently available, the Bluesmart One includes its own digital scales to weigh all your stuff before you leave home. It also uses Bluetooth, 3G, and GPS technologi­es to prevent theft and help you locate the case pretty much anywhere in the world.

2 Bose QuietComfo­rt 35 $349 bose.com

Bose is a leader in noisecance­ling technology, and the QC35 is its top-of-therange model. The powerful battery provides up to 20 hours’ Bluetooth streaming and noise-cancelatio­n when traveling, but you can also use the QC35 as a convention­al set of wired headphones.

3 Kanex GoPower Watch $99 kanex.com

This useful little dualpurpos­e battery has 4,000mAh capacity, which is enough to charge an iPhone 7 twice, or an Apple Watch six times over. It only measures around 3.1 in square, but has a charging plate for the Watch and a separate USB port for powering smartphone­s.

4 Mophie Juice Pack Air $99 mophie.com

Most battery cases for the iPhone are pretty chunky and clunky – including Apple’s own bulbous Smart Case. However, Mophie’s Juice Pack Air manages to provide a full charge for most iPhone models without adding too much size or weight.

5 Tile Mate $25 thetileapp.com

It only lasts for one year, but the Tile Mate can easily be attached to a set of keys, a wallet, or slipped into a suitcase when you’re traveling, so it’s very versatile. It uses Bluetooth to help you find nearby items, but can also use the worldwide network of Tile users to help locate lost or stolen items.
