4) Headphones
Headphones are one of the most important gadgets to invest in before traveling. Today you can buy incredibly lightweight, collapsible, Bluetooth enabled headphones that fit easily into your carry-on luggage and won’t have you tripping over wires as you stumble up the aisle of a train or airplane. Certain models offer up to 18 hours of wireless streaming before you have to recharge them and even have an automatic play-pause function that kicks in when the headphones are put on or removed. There are even completely wireless ear buds now that rely on Bluetooth technology. It’s also worth considering noise-canceling headphones. They’re perfect for cutting out the external noise whether you’re on a plane, at a train terminal or even in a noisy hotel.
