From Apple AirPods to VR headsets and the ultimate travel backpack, these tech gifts are designed to last. A gadget reviewer who has tested hundreds of products has curated a list of items that remain useful long after the initial unboxing.
For iPhone users, the Baseus Picogo MagSafe battery pack offers a slim, wireless solution for extending battery life. It includes a USB-C port for charging non-iPhone devices. The Case-Mate Tough Case with Grip combines robust protection with a pop-socket-style grip, featuring strong magnets for MagSafe accessories and pass-through charging.
Location trackers like Apple AirTags (for Apple users) and Tile trackers (for Android) provide peace of mind for keys, wallets, and bags. The OnePlus Buds Pro 3 are praised as the best value earbuds, with excellent sound, active noise cancellation, and wireless charging. For iPhone owners, the AirPods Pro 3 offer superior noise cancellation and can double as hearing aids.
The Xiaomi Precision Tool Kit, with a USB-C powered screwdriver and 24 bits, is ideal for electronics repairs. The DJI Neo drone is a palm-sized, beginner-friendly option for capturing aerial footage.
