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
Apple AirPods Max
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 Watch Series 9
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

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.

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 Studio Display
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.

It’s also compatible with Apple accessories like keyboards and styluses.
