The Coolest and Newest Gadgets This 2015

We haven’t forgotten those of you out there who are avid techies and gadget fanatics: take a look at what we think might be the coolest and newest gadgets this 2015 that you might really like.

With the new Nintendo 3DS XL (about to be released any day now) along with the not-so-latest Microsoft Surface Pro 3 that we absolutely love, ShopandBox some of these pack-a-punch devices if you’d like to heighten your senses and go further.

 

Ubi, USD 299 + Add To Wishlist

Ubi is essentially a Siri that resembles a square-shaped sandwich box and can be positioned in different ways, whether mounted onto a wall or placed on your side table. To put it succinctly, it is a “Wifi-connected voice interactive computer.” You can ask any question, play a song, control any device/app or look up notifications without having to reach out for your phone or computer (if you’re eight feet away from Ubi that is). The Ubi is similar to Amazon Echo, but of course, you don’t have to be sent an invitation to be able to purchase it.

 

Navdy, USD 299 (pre-order now, ships in 2015) + Add To Wishlist

Navdy is a head-up display that is basically a really small projector placed in front of a reflective glass to project images in front of the windshield for you to interact with your phone’s notifications and apps using hand gestures and your voice. Navdy can also be mounted in any car because of its adjustable base, making it much easier and safer to interact and stay connected behind the wheel.

 

Pebble Steel Smartwatch, USD 199.99 + Add To Wishlist

Crafted from marine-grade stainless steel and Gorilla glass, the upgraded Pebble Steel Smartwatch is function and finesse in one—you can check your emails, messages, weather, stocks, apps and it is also waterproof up to 50 meters and will go up to 7 days between charges. All that and still look pretty fly! It’s practically like wearing your phone around your wrist, and much more.

 

Microsoft Surface Pro 3, USD 799 onwards + Add To Wishlist

At only 0.79 kg / 1.76 lbs, Microsoft’s 12-inch Surface Pro is almost like a laptop with all its specs and brilliant performance, but packed in a tablet (well, almost). You can write on documents and design on apps using the Surface Pen that comes with it, or attach a keyboard to type easily and have it function like a laptop.

 

Tritton Swarm Wireless Mobile Headset (Bluetooth), USD 149.99 (pre-order, ships in March 2015) + Add To Wishlist

Imagine a headset that detects your device’s optimum audio quality and configures it for you automatically. With an audio response that is tuned for gaming, music and video, the Tritton Swarm also has on-ear buttons for you to adjust the volume or even answer a phone call. It is also compatible with Andriod 3.0+, iOS 7+, Windows 8.1/8/7/Vista and Mac OS X 10.8+.

 

Nintendo 3DS XL, USD 199.99 (pre-order, releases on February 13, 2015) + Add To Wishlist

A Nintendo is always going to be a classic for handheld gaming lovers. In their newest offering, expect infrared LED sensor for face tracking, near-field communication, and a more powerful CPU for way faster game-loading and download times. Elevate your experience with features like the new Amiibo support, a new c-stick that would probably help as a right stick control and a small nub to control the camera.

 

UE Megaboom, USD 299.99 + Add To Wishlist

The new big brother to the UE Boom and Miniboom, this 0.87kg / 1.93lb wireless Bluetooth speaker has a 20-hour battery life and is waterproof in up to 1 meter of water. Audio performance wise, the 360-degree room filling audio coming from its cylindrical shape helps with richness and clarity of sound. For party rockers, the Megaboom app has the ability to pair it with up to 10 other Megabooms too—talk about a show-stopping bass-dropping party!

 

MimoPowerTube – Star Wars Series, USD 29.99 + Add To Wishlist

OK, so apart from the fact that this super kitschy power bank comes in other Star War designs (like Darth Vader or Luke’s Lightsaber from Episode IV), it really just powers your smartphones, mp3 players etc like other power banks. But obviously, it is way cooler because the Force is indeed with you.

Amazon Echo, USD 199 or USD 99 for Prime members (request for invite) + Add To Wishlist

This one is only available for pre-order but our US Boxers can get you on the waitlist if you so wish to have this little home companion on hand. Made for the time-pressed, this is a welcome addition to any busy family. Ask it anything from ‘What’s the temperature outside?’ to ‘What time is it in Alaska?” to ‘Play me some rock music’ to ‘Add Ben and Jerry’s Ice Cream to my shopping list’. This is one cool gift  that you’ll be wondering how you ever lived without.
