The PowerUp Multi-Device Charger allows you to charger your laptop but also acts as a hub for all of your other devices. Avoid purchasing a USB plugin and consolidate your accessories to just one.

Trekz Bone Conductor Headphones ($99 via Amazon)
Why: For those who aren’t familiar with bone conductor technology, this new advancement allows you to listen to music through your cheekbones instead of directly through your ears. This allows you to keep your ears completely open and maximize situational awareness for ambient sounds. Designed for long-wear, these lightweight headphones sit neatly above your ears to allow for continuous music or phone calls.
Who: Never worry about your ears overheating from large noise cancelling headphones or constantly having to take your headphones out to have a conversation. Great for your commute, daily calls, listening to music at work or pumping up the jam while you are exercising. The headphones aren’t truly noise cancelling so if that is what you’re looking for, I’d recommend looking elsewhere.
Get it: For the fair price of $100, you can cop a pair of these headphones and start living “bad to the bone”.
