Audio
Sony WH-1000XM5 Headphones
Roughly 30 hours per charge, and the noise cancellation flattens plane engine noise to a hum. They don't fold down like the XM4 did, so the case eats more bag space.

Camera
DJI Osmo Action 6
8K video with a variable aperture, and it is waterproof to 20 metres without a housing. Battery life drops sharply in the cold, so carry a spare for winter trips.

Wearable
Samsung Galaxy Watch8
A bright AMOLED screen with sleep and heart tracking that holds up, on the AU model with local warranty. It is Android-only in practice, and you will still be charging it most nights.

Smart Home
Echo Show 8 (newest gen)
An 8.7-inch screen for video calls, recipes, and running the rest of your smart home by voice. It goes on deep discount around Prime Day, so buying at list price rarely makes sense.

Smart Home
Philips Hue Bridge Pro Starter Kit
16 million colours, voice control, and scheduling that actually holds. The bridge is the price of entry, and the bulbs cost more than most rivals.

Charging
Anker Zolo Magnetic Qi2 Charger
Qi2 magnets snap it into place at a full 15W, twice what most wireless pads manage on an iPhone. The wall adapter is not in the box.
