Shure Aonic 50 ANC Headphones
This is Shure’s first Active Noise Cancelling Headphones, never late than ever! Aonic 50 headset has 50mm audio driver that pleases your ears for sure. It has several modes like Ambient mode, Partial Noise Cancelling, Full Noise Cancelling mode, etc. You can even install software updates (firmware) for this headset. I expect Shure to release multiple updates in the first few months as they will be coming up with new features or optimizations.
These headphones have a battery backup of 20 hours which is the poorest battery backup that you can think of. Even a $35 ANC headset these days provide more battery backup than this. Also, Aonic 50 headphones are not foldable which is definitely a deal-breaker for me. When a headset is not foldable, it will be bulky and inconvenient to carry. They kinda look bulky and the aesthetics are not good at all.
On the positive sides, the audio quality is phenomenal, so is the noise cancelling part. The headset is super comfortable to wear. This headset is priced in the range of Bose 700.
I personally tested these headphones while I was at CES 2020. So, they are legit!

AfterShokz Aeropex Mini Bone Conduction Headphones
Not a lot of bone conduction speakers are good, in fact, most of them are bad. Recently I reviewed a bone conduction audio glasses and it is one of the worst gadgets I came across in 2019. But hold on, we have a good product to showcase. When I was at CES2020, I happened to visit the AfterShokz booth to check out their newest product. When I was there, I came across their new headband (Aeropex Mini) that uses bone conduction technology to transfer sound directly to the inner ears. It was amazing. Even in such a noisy environment, I could hear the music very well. The audio quality was not bad at all.
The headband is very light. you won't even notice wearing it. It is super comfortable and the bone conduction earpieces don't cause discomfort at all. It comes in different colors and I really loved the red one.

mui – A wooden Plank with a Hidden Display
MUI is a cool wooden plank with a twist, it has a display embedded inside it. It is 100% made out of wood and the best thing is it has a touch display that can show notifications, set timer and play music.
One thing I forgot to mention is that it has an inbuilt speaker too, how cool is that? It has a built-in google assistant that is voice search enabled. MUI also integrates with several smart bulbs such as Hue and lets you control the brightness by sliding across the horizontal axis. It can show weather, your schedule and more.
The panel is not thick at all, it is just as the size of a typical wooden plank (you can see it from the image above). It can be fitted on any wall or hard surface. Costing around $600, this gadget is definitely not cheap but is a good fit if
Audio Technica ATH-WP900 headphones
Audio Technica showcased a range of its newest products at CES 2020 including the WP900 High-Resolution Headphones. ATH WP900 has 53 mm drivers that are exceptional in quality. The headphone has a Japanese maple housing which makes it one of the coolest looking headphones I have seen.
The audio quality of WP900 is phenomenal. Believe me, it is way better than Sony's wh-1000xm3 headphones or Bose 700 headsets.
WP900 is not wireless but comes with detachable cables. The headset is very lightweight but not foldable. If you have some extra bucks to spend, you can't go wrong with these headphones.

I came across the Lumicharge LD smart lamp during the CES 2020 event this week. The lamp is multifunctional. It has a wireless smartphone charger on the top and a swiveling charging port which has USB C, Micro USB and Lightning Port options.
The device has a smart RGB light that can be controlled via a mobile app or through google home or Alexa. It also has an integrated wireless speaker that lets you stream any music from your phone. The audio quality is not bad at all, I personally liked it when I tested it out. There are a couple of physical buttons on the lamp that can control volume and stuff like that.

This allows you to listen to music with your ears open and the best thing, it is in a form of spectacles that are not bulky or ugly, you can wear them every day to any place.
Mutrics GB 30 audio glasses is specifically made for gamers but I don't think it is restricted just for that purpose. While I was at CES 2020, I personally tested these audio glasses and they are amazing. Even in that noisy environment, I was able to hear the music clearly.
These glasses are definitely comparable with Bose Audio Frames but I can't conclude which is better because I haven't tested them side by side. Mutrics GB 30 glasses has a battery backup of up to 4 hours which is
