Surpassing pre-pandemic 2019 levels, air travel has bounced back and is once again in full swing. People are back to hopping on the plane for business trips, family vacations and tropical excursions. Traveling is always exciting, but many times, passengers forget to upgrade their outdated luggage and travel accessories. And that can really dampen any jet-setting experience. The latest travel gear can lead you to the perfect gift for yourself or the traveler in your life.
Locking down the ideal travel gear isn’t always a cut-and-dry endeavor. Finding the right stuff can depend on the type of trip being planned. And considering the amount of travel items on the market today, narrowing this all down to the perfect purchase can be an uphill battle. To help you cut through all the shopping turbulence, we’ve put together a roundup of our favorite travel tech gifts to help you depart with ease. Among the action cameras and power accessories below, you’ll find our favorite noise-canceling headphones, which are a necessity for any trip, big or small. If you’re on the hunt for the jet-setter in your life — or wish to upgrade your own travel supplies — you’ll find lots of great options below.

If you’re looking for the best of the best when it comes to noise-canceling headphones, the current full-size Sony models are the king of the hill. Sony has made some dramatic improvements with voice-calling performance as well as even better noise canceling and more refined sound.

The addition of USB and USB-C ports to travel adapters has been one of the nicer upgrades in recent years. We’ve personally tested and used this model, which will work pretty much everywhere in the world, and includes a passthrough plug for you to plug in a laptop or other standard device too. (Note that this won’t convert voltage, but that means it will still work with virtually any gadget except for things like hair dryers and curling irons.)

The new AirPods Pro 2 with MagSafe (USB-C) are nearly identical to their Lightning predecessor, delivering the same excellent sound and voice-calling performance. And that also means they are among the best headphones to fly with, thanks to their superior noise-canceling abilities. Pop these in during a flight and let the cabin noise melt away.

You can get plenty of snap-on magnetic battery packs for iPhones (and Android phones) these days, but the Anker MagGo 622 rises above the pack thanks to a nice combination of features. In addition to being light, it’s got a fold-down stand which perfectly nestles on a plane or train tray table, so you can watch a video on your phone while it juices up (it supports passthrough charging via USB-C). Seek out the $40 sale price on this one (it’s sometimes closer to $50 on Amazon).

You can’t ask for a better travel companion than the JBL Go 3. It sounds great for its (tiny) size, it’s waterproof and it recharges via USB-C. The Go 3 is available in a variety of fun colors, too. It’s a great way to enjoy music in your hotel room, on a picnic or anywhere in between. Pro tip: It’s worth waiting for this model to drop to $30, which it does during frequent online sales.
