15 Vacation Gear Ideas: Don't Leave These Behind

8. Audio-Technica ATH-ANC27 Noise-Canceling Headphones

Heading out the door towards summer vacation destinations? Here are 15 ideas--from the practical to the indulgent--for devices you might want to take along.

Read reviews of the ATH-ANC27 Headphones at Newegg.com

Noise-canceling headphones are a must-have for any long-haul flight (and a luxury for a shorter one). This adjustable, padded over-the-ear pair reduces external noise up to 18 decibels (that’s “active noise reduction”), which should seriously dampen the roar of the engine, the snore of the guy seated next to you, and the shriek of the baby ten rows behind you. To power up the noise-canceling feature you’ve got to insert one AAA battery. You can choose to listen to music or watch a movie via the 3.9-foot cable, or you can detach the cable and listen to the calming sounds of white noise. The hard shell case protects your investment for future vacations.

Why does the TomTom need software for the home PC to update? My CoPilot Live for Android updates over wireless, no PC or software required.

That Kensington travel charge adapter with USB is a first-generation one; purchased one like that four years ago. The USB-piece is prone to get lost. Current ones have integrated USB ports (not a separate piece) which allow for simultaneous charging of two USB devices and powering an item at the same time. However they only tend to be available from the on-board duty-free of international airlines (seen them available onboard Emirates and LAN)
