Time Kettle M3 Language Translator Earbuds

Whether traipsing through centuries-old cobbled streets hunting for souvenirs or conducting international business, it’s difficult to navigate a foreign country when you don’t speak the language. There are a variety of translation apps out there, sure, but these multi-linguistic wearables put the words directly in your ears and allow users to engage in real-time conversations. Keep both buds in your ears to play direct translation, or share one with your talking partner to translate both ways. When you’re not working on your Mandarin, the buds can also be used to make calls or play tunes. $150, timekettle.co

Monos Carry-On Pro Plus

Both sturdy and stylish, this tech forward carry-on is outfitted with an aerospace-grade polycarbonate shell that’s touted as virtually unbreakable, resisting dents and taking impact with ease. It features an ultra-sturdy telescopic handle, TSA-approved lock, and whisper-quiet wheels, plus what is perhaps its most impressive feature: a polycarbonate-protected sleeve that fits a 16-inch laptop. It’s also rather snazzy, accented with vegan leather details and ultra-premium materials. $280, monos.com

CZECH & SPEAKE AIR-SAFE MANICURE SET

Nail filers are often the first to go during a TSA bag check, but this snazzy carry-on-approved manicured set for the well-groomed globetrotter will float through security with ease. Handmade in Germany, the handsome kit includes nail clippers, tweezers, safety scissors, and a crystal nail fi le, all coated in Teflon and housed in a supple grained leather case. $410, czechandspeake.com

STEAMERY Pilo 1 Fabric Shaver

After being crammed into a suitcase and transported across state lines, clothing can show signs of wear after travel. Small and easily towable, this nifty device uses three precision-made razor blades along with a surprisingly strong motor (think electric razor) to tidy up your garments in only a few minutes, removing lint, piling, fuzz, and stray threads. At home, it also works wonders for your furniture, too. $55, steamery.us

Perilogics Universal Airplane Phone Mount

This savvy flight companion solves one of air travel’s most vexing conundrums: how to comfortably stream content from your phone. The thrifty find offers an effortless entertainment experience on your next flight. Simply clip the pocket-sized mount onto the top of your tray table and get lost in the latest season of Fargo without any hand or neck cramps (or the inevitable wobble and flop that follows propping up your phone). $10, amazon.com

Unity Headphones

Six years of development went into these revolutionary over-the-ear headphones from the Swiss sound brand HED, but when they were finally announced last year, shock waves rippled throughout the audio world. Meet Unity: the world’s first wireless headphones to offer lossless, high-resolution audio. As long as your flight offers WiFi, the groundbreaking wearable delivers unprecedented, truly lossless sound straight to your ears, exactly as it was intended to be heard. $2,199, getunity.com
