NAVDY
Many modern cars now come with backup cameras and integrated screens, but drivers with older models can also add advanced features. Navdy is a portable heads-up display that connects to any car with an OBD-II port and pairs with a smartphone to show turn-by-turn navigation, fuel data and Bluetooth calling on a clear screen that appears like a hologram on the windshield. The unit supports voice commands, motion-based gestures and an optional dial that clips to the steering wheel for manual control. Price: $499.

BOSE QUIETCOMFORT 35
Bose has long been associated with best-in-class noise cancellation, and the QuietComfort 35 continues that tradition in a wireless format. While other brands may offer superior audio fidelity at similar prices, the QC35 prioritizes comfort and a tranquil listening experience. Upgrades from earlier models include a rechargeable battery, an integrated remote and compatibility with the Bose Connect app. A standard headphone jack remains for wired use when battery power is low or for in-flight entertainment. Price: $349.95.
