TRAVEL ACCESSORIES TO JAZZ UP YOUR JOURNEY
NOMAD 65W POWER ADAPTER £59 nomadgoods.com
If you’re regularly travelling to the United States, this tiny charger is the ideal addition. It has two USB-C sockets and plenty of power (65W) so it delivers up to 45W from the top socket and 20W from the lower one, meaning it can charge a laptop and a tablet at the same time, for instance. The fold-out US pins mean you don’t need an adaptor.
APPLE AIRPODS PRO £249 apple.com/uk
For listening to music in the air, you need noise-cancelling to quell the engine noise. Many in-ear headphones struggle with this, but not the recently-released second-generation AirPods Pro. They have outstanding noisecancelling, as well as great audio generally. You can also use the AirPods Pro for calls, and the quality here is also excellent. They work with Android phones as well as iPhones but the integration with Apple devices is seamless.
TWELVE SOUTH AIRFLY SE £34.99 amazon.co.uk
In-ear headphones can’t connect to anything by cable, so AirFly bridges the gap if you want to watch inflight entertainment. Pair your AirPods, or other wireless headphones, with the AirFly using Bluetooth, and connect the headphone socket to the seat back. And that’s it, your headphones can now relay the audio from the IFE – this works with fitness equipment in the gym, too.
POCKETALK PLUS VOICE TRANSLATOR £259 uk.pocketalk.com
No matter how hard you’ve worked at Duolingo, it’s always good to have a backup when it comes to translating accurately. Choose two languages (one being yours, obviously) on this handy little gizmo, hold down the button and speak. It quickly translates what you’ve said to the second language and speaks it, with text on screen. It works through a data connection, and the first two years are included, worldwide, from the embedded sim.
