We have already seen our fair share of new headphone designs from CES 2018. Sennheiser’s new BeatsX competitors, SOL’s very first foray into the world of over-ear Bluetooth and Mymanu’s Click+ live translation headphones are just some of the interesting headsets to come out of Vegas so far this year. While it might be a while until we see the Eagle head-mounted home theater come to fruition, we are quite excited about the new Audio-Technica QuietPoint over-ears.

One thing we expected to see even more of by now is truly wireless earbuds. But the folks over at Yevo have got us covered with its new headset made of a very special metal known as Humanium.

The Motiv fitness tracking ring is an interesting concept. The small, yet, at least to some, attractive ring can handle much of the same tasks your Fitbit, Apple Watch or other devices of that nature usually take care of. Described as one of the smallest fitness trackers out there, it’s worth looking into for anyone that doesn’t like the wrist-mounted options.

While we have got a good look at the small fitness ring in the past, Motiv has brought some very interesting new features and updates to CES 2018, along with deeper support for Apple Health and Android users.

By now, most 9to5Toys readers are likely familiar with Anker’s PowerHouse 434Wh portable generator/battery.
