These over-ear headphones pair seamlessly with your iPhone and have up to 20 hours of listening time on a single charge.

One of our favorite travel accessories, Apple AirTags, can help you keep track of your suitcase, wallet or other items you don’t want to lose. They sync to your smart devices, and then you can use Apple’s Find My app to pinpoint the exact location of your AirTag if it’s within 30 feet. There is also a Precision Finding feature that guides you toward your item using an arrow that points you in the AirTag’s direction if you are within 30 feet.
This Roku streaming stick is small and portable, allowing you to easily plug it into different TVs if you need to. The remote has large, clear buttons — including buttons that will bring you directly to popular streaming services like Netflix and Hulu.
This battery-powered doorbell syncs with your Google Home app, allowing you to view live HD video, replay recordings, talk to visitors and more. You can also set it so you receive push notifications when someone is at your door or when you receive a package. The wire-free installation also makes setting it up easy.
This 65-inch television has 4K resolution, an LED display and built-in voice assistance through Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant.

This toaster oven and air fryer combo can be flipped upright for streamlined storage. When it comes to cooking, it has eight settings — including air fry, roast, bake, broil, toast, bagel, pizza and dehydrate. It also includes a baking sheet and a ventilated air fry basket.
Quickly juice up your Apple devices with this wall charger. It can get an iPhone up to a 50% charge in 30 minutes and can also charge larger devices, like an iPad or MacBook Air. The plug also folds down for easier storage.
The MacBook Air has been a favorite of NBC Select staffers for years. This model has a 13-inch, high-resolution screen, a fast processor, 16 GB of memory and 256 GB of storage. There is also a MagSafe charger included that magnetically snaps in and out of the charging port.
Apple Airpods 4 have a number of the same features as previous versions, including the ability to control audio and calls by pinching the stem of either earbud.
