JBL Xtreme 4

This summer, the audio powerhouse released the fourth generation of its portable Xtreme series, a mighty waterand dustproof sidekick intent on bringing the beat wherever the party goes, from backyard BBQs to beachside bonfires.

Playtime Boost offers an additional six hours of play, bringing the overall battery life to 24 hours, so the party doesn’t stop until you do. $380, jbl.com

LG Signature OLED R TV

Touted as the world’s first and only rollable TV, LG’s high-ticket OLED screen is neatly tucked into a sleek console. At the touch of a button or voice command, it rises to two different heights: Full View or Line View, then discreetly disappears into Zero View, operating solely as a speaker, when prompted. The dance is possible with LG’s self-lit pixel technology, which relies on a self-luminous display rather than traditional backlights. $87,000, lg.com

Apple Watch Series 10

The tech superbrand made several notable drops this year, including an updated iPad Pro and the debut of its proprietary AI software in the latest iPhone, but the Series 10 smartwatch is earning a spot on this list as this year’s most exciting new toy from Apple. The wide-angle OLED display marks the largest touchscreen ever on an Apple Watch, but it’s also the thinnest (and shockingly lightweight, clocking in just over 35g). It adds a host of new apps, including sports training features, updated sleep metrics, and off-line maps. $399, apple.com

Bang & Olufsen Beoplay H100 Headphones

The latest flagship from B&O were inspired by the booming Beolab 90 loudspeaker, meaning they offer an enveloping, studio-caliber listening experience in a tidy package. Expect twice the noise cancellation ability over the outgoing model, while 40mm titanium drivers deliver crisp, high-res audio with deep, thundering bass. The headphones mark the debut of Bang & Olufsen’s EarSense technology, which tailors the sound to the wearer’s unique fit in real time. $1,549, bang-olufsen.com

Amazon Kindle Colorsoft

Seventeen years after Amazon debuted its first ebook reader – which sold out within hours of its release – the e-commerce giant is finally launching a color Kindle. Boasting a 7-inch Colorsoft E-Ink Display that reads like paper, the device promises high-contrast hues that don’t sting the eyes, thanks to an autoadjusting front light. There are more than 13 million titles available to download, and a beefy battery offers up to eight weeks of charge. $280, amazon.com

Oura Ring 4

In October, Oura dropped the latest iteration of its high-tech wearable, touting an even smarter sensor system that is up to 120% more accurate. The 4th gen ring also boasts a fully titanium design and recessed sensors for a sleek, handsome package, and the battery life has been boosted to a seven-day lifespan. Data points remain the same, and they are extensive: think everything from an in-depth sleep analysis and early illness detection to ovulation tracking for women. $349, ouraring.com
