Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen, USB-C)4.6-star average rating from 1,010 reviews on Amazon

AirPods Pro made our list of best wireless earbuds and multiple NBC Select staff members use them daily for commuting, making calls and listening to music while working out. Our editors report that they offer crisp sound and like the noise-canceling features.These second-generation models come with multiple ear tips in the box, a lanyard loop on the charging case and touch-sensitive volume controls on the earbuds for easy adjusting. One thing to note: This version has a USB-C port for charging instead of a Lightning port.

Apple AirPods Max Wireless Over-Ear Headphones

4.6-star average rating from 6,600 reviews on Amazon

These over-ear headphones are a favorite of many NBC Select staff members thanks to their active noise cancellation, transparency mode — so you can hear outside noises if you want — and spatial audio so you can have theater-like sound quality. The cushions are made from knit-mesh canopy and memory foam to optimize comfort and fit, plus they come with a carrying case to store them in when not in use.

Apple AirPods (3rd Generation)

4.3-star average rating from 534 reviews on Amazon

The Apple AirPods have effectively became synonymous with the term wireless earbuds and this third-generation model takes things up a notch with an improved fit, the design is now closer to the AirPods Pro. It has IPX4 sweat and water resistance, and six more hours of battery life from its Lightning-port charging case than the second-generation AirPods.

Apple Watch Series 9

4.6-star average rating from 2,182 reviews on Amazon

NBC Select reporter Harry Rabinowitz is a big fan of the Apple Watch Series 9. He particularly appreciates the always-on display, narrow frame and the hands-free feature that allows you to answer calls, play or pause music and open notifications by raising your wrist and pinching your index finger and thumb together twice. The Series 9 is also much brighter than previous generations and has a new chip (the S9 SiP), which gives the watch a faster all-around performance, according to the brand. While this is the 41mm model, the 45mm model is also on sale.

Apple Watch Ultra 2

4.5-star average rating from 210 reviews on Amazon

Lowest price ever

Think of the Apple Watch Ultra 2 as Apple’s premium sports smartwatch. According to the brand, it has a faster S9 chip that improves the watch’s overall performance, a battery life (at 36 hours) that is almost double that of the Series 9 and water resistance up to 100m. It also offers a variety of health data tracking options, such as heart rate, sleep tracking and more.

Apple Watch SE 2nd Gen

4.6-star average rating from 7,548 reviews on Amazon

If you’d like to spend less than the Series 9 and Ultra 2, consider the SE. While it lacks the always-on display that the other two models have and runs on a slightly slower S8 SiP chip, it does offer features like crash detection and fitness tracking and is water resistant up to 50 meters. It also has up to 18 hours of battery life, according to the brand.

Apple iPad Mini (6th Generation) 

4.8-star average rating from 10,129 reviews on Amazon

This iPad has a wide 10.2-inch display, 64GB of storage and is Wi-Fi enabled. It contains Apple’s A13 Bionic chip, which can easily handle gaming and productivity apps, according to the brand. The iPad Mini also offers an all-day battery life, according to Apple.

Apple Studio Display

4.6-star average rating from 278 reviews on Amazon

Apple’s premium computer monitor has some of the most detailed picture quality you can get on a screen, in my experience. This 27-inch screen has a 5K (5120 by 2880 pixel) resolution, more than most monitors available. There are six speakers, a microphone, a webcam, one Thunderbolt 3 port and three USB-C ports built-in that can power most laptops and computer accessories. Note that the stand on this version is tilt, not height, adjustable.

iPad (10th generation)

4.8-star average rating from 14,701 reviews on Amazon

The 10th generation iPad made our list of best tablets of 2024, thanks to the many improvements it offers over the 9th generation model — like a larger, higher resolution screen, two built-in speakers, better cameras for video chats and more. It’s also compatible with Apple accessories like keyboards and styluses.
