Ozlo Sleepbuds have unique features like 10 sleep sounds and an earbud alarm to wake you up. ZDNET associate editor Nina Raemont says they’re the most comfortable sleep earbuds she’s ever tested.
The Wireless Keyboard is a great tool for maintaining a work setup, especially while traveling. Allison Jewell calls it “quiet, comfortable, and cute.”
