The 27 Best Products From CES 2024 That Could Actually Be Useful to You This Year

"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links."

The 2024 edition of the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) — one of the biggest annual consumer tech industry events — wraps today. Virtually countless new products debuted at the show over the past four days, and they ranged from computers and TVs to various home appliances and small gadget accessories. CES has always been a venue for brands to display concepts and ultra-premium offerings. (Take, this year, the stunning and transparent LG Signature OLED T TV.) But among the outstanding design and engineering, the most noteworthy trend this year was AI making its way into more and more of our tech.

The products at this year’s trade show proved that in the years ahead, artificial intelligence will do a lot more than just help with productivity. AI will also enable a TV to deliver pristine picture quality, tune a speaker for optimal sound, and even make sure a meal is perfectly cooked, to name just a few tasks. AI-powered tech in everyday appliances looks bound to become a norm in the years ahead as well, if you’re looking to give someone or yourself the gift of an extra pair of (virtual) hands around the house.

As we do every year, we spent days tuning in to product briefings and combing through press releases and spec sheets to handpick the best new gadgets that debuted at CES 2024. We focused on products that will actually go on sale and have the potential to make their way into consumers’ daily routines in the weeks and months ahead. (There can be a lot of vaporware at the show, after all.)

We broke down the most exciting products that captured our attention into the following major categories: Entertainment & Audio, Computers & Accessories, Mobile Gadgets, Home & Appliances, and Family. Since most of these products are not available for purchase just yet, be sure to come back in the months ahead to learn more about these gadgets once we’ve had hands-on experience with them.

Entertainment & Audio

QM8 4K TV (2024)

The TCL QM8 was our favorite TV of 2023, and its 2024 sequel is even more exciting. The latest iteration of the 4K TV brings a quantum dot mini LED panel with more local dimming zones for superior contrast and a peak brightness of a whopping 5,000 nits. That translates to double the brightness of the 2023 model, ensuring the 2024 TCL QM8 will deliver striking visuals even in brightly lit spaces.

The 4K TV will become available to order in the months ahead. We don’t know the pricing details yet, but given TCL’s track record, we expect it will be super reasonable. The tech giant also unveiled a TV with a stunning 115-inch mini LED screen — the largest of its kind.

Momentum Sport Wireless Earbuds

In addition to delivering a sleek design, comfy fit, and the iconic brand's signature sound and top-tier noise cancellation, the Momentum Sport true wireless earbuds by Sennheiser pack heart rate and temperature sensors for next-level activity and wellness tracking. The sensors' readings can integrate with the user's preferred health- and fitness-tracking platforms like Apple Health, Garmin Connect, Strava, and Peloton, to name a few.

The sweat- and water-resistant earbuds will become available to order in April for $329.99. There will be three colors to choose from: burned olive, polar black, and metallic graphite.

Live 770NC Wireless Headphones

JBL’s Live 670NC and Live 770NC wireless headphones are our favorite to arrive at CES 2024. Like their excellent predecessors, the newcomers deliver a mixture of elegant design, high-quality sound with spatial audio capabilities, reliable noise cancellation, and superb battery life, all at an agreeable price. The Live 670NC cans have an on-ear fit, while the 770NC has a traditional over-ear layout.

The latest JBL headphones will hit the shelves in March. The Live 770NC and Live 670NC will cost $199.95 and $129.95, respectively.

— SV

Music Frame

The Samsung Music Frame, like the legendary TV with the same, is a tech product that can effortlessly blend into any home decor via customizable covers. Equipped with Samsung Q-Symphony tech, the speaker will sync perfectly with its maker’s TVs and soundbars for an immersive surround sound experience.

Details about the pricing and retail availability of the Samsung Music Frame have yet to be made available, but we don't expect the wait to be too long.

— SV

Xtreme 4 Bluetooth Speaker

The JBL Xtreme 4 is a sequel to one of our favorite waterproof Bluetooth speakers and an instant best-in-class contender. The gadget is capable of blasting AI-enhanced sound that’s customizable via an app and up to 30 hours of audio playback between power-ups. Its replaceable battery pack sets it apart from all rivals.

We like that JBL manufactured the speaker using 70% recycled plastic and 100% reclaimed fabric. The Xtreme 4 will hit the shelves this June in several colors with a $379.95 sticker.

— SV

Wave Pro Wireless Headphones

The EarFun Wave Pro wireless headphones are the audio maker's first and a rock-solid contender for the best budget set in the game. Like the brand's stellar wireless earbuds, the over-ear cans offer an appealing combination of sleek design, customizable sound with support for Hi-Res Audio, and strong noise cancellation. To top things off, the headphones can rather impressively deliver 80 hours of wireless playback between charges.

Sales of the EarFun Wave Pro headphones will begin this spring. The headphones will cost $79.99 — an incredible design given their design, specs, and onboard features.

Computers & Accessories

ZenBook Duo (2024) UX8406

The ASUS ZenBook Duo is an exciting new addition to the PC laptop realm not only for its striking dual-screen design but also for its affordable price. The notebook will start below $1,500 when it becomes available to order this spring. Combined with its versatile design and high-end specs, the price makes a serious case for choosing the new ZenBook Duo over a premium touchscreen laptop with a conventional form factor.

Hardware-wise, the ZenBook Duo features a pair of high-resolution OLED touchscreens with a high refresh rate and a cutting-edge Intel Core chip with Arc graphics. Of course, the product will be bundled with a Bluetooth keyboard with an integrated trackpad.

Omen Transcend 14 Gaming Laptop

HP’s Omen Transcend 14 gaming laptop impressed us by delivering top-tier hardware specs — an Intel Core Ultra chip, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40 Series graphics, a high-performance OLED display panel, and a rich set of connectivity features — in a compact and elegant package that weighs just a feather above 3.5 pounds. That’s on par with the weight of a 14-inch MacBook Pro, making the Omen Transcend 14 incredibly lightweight and portable for a high-performance PC gaming rig.

The versatile Omen Transcend 14 is already available to pre-order from HP with a $1,500 starting price. That’s quite a bargain, especially considering its striking design and futureproof specs.

ThinkBook Plus Gen 5 Hybrid

The detachable keyboard on Lenovo’s ThinkBook Plus Gen 5 Hybrid made it our favorite Android tablet of CES 2024. Because it features a full-blown PC with an Intel chip and Windows 11 on board, it gives you two devices (a laptop and a tablet) wrapped into one — not just a feature-rich tablet with a bundled keyboard.

Remarkably, the two components can work together or separately, depending on your needs. The product will hit the shelves in the spring with a hefty $1,999 price tag.

— SV

Odyssey OLED G8 4K Monitor

The Odyssey OLED G8 4K gaming monitor by Samsung deserves your attention for being great at, well, everything — from high-performance gameplay to delivering your favorite streaming content with incredible picture quality via the tech giant’s smart platform. Combined with a minimalist design, the product’s 32-inch display panel with millions of individually backlit pixels and antireflective finish makes it a great upgrade option for work and play.

Samsung also equipped the monitor with a SmartThings Hub for controlling connected home gadgets. An ultra-wide Odyssey OLED G9 monitor with a curved 49-inch screen debuted as well for those who need to replace two screens.

— SV

GeForce RTX 40 SUPER Series GPU

NVIDIA launched the GeForce RTX 40 SUPER Series GPUs during CES. The latest-generation graphics cards pack dedicated cores for AI processing, ensuring the cutting-edge tech will take the users’ experience — from heavy workloads to in-game visuals — to a whole new level. The latest components deliver a significant performance bump over their top-shelf GeForce RTX 30 series predecessors.

Pricing of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40 SUPER Series GPUs will start at a reasonable $599 for an RTX 4070 Super version. The range-topping RTX 4080 SUPER, dubbed a “4K monster” by its maker, will cost $999.

— SV

Aether Monitor Light Bar

The Razer Aetner monitor light bar is a handy desktop accessory that will give your work and gaming sessions a bright, colorful upgrade. The attachable dual light consists of an adjustable white strip and a back-facing row of color LEDs that are customizable via the excellent Razer Chroma RGB suite. The white light will illuminate your workspace, while the colorful backlight is a must for gaming.

We like that the Razer Aetner is compatible with the Matter smart home standard and that its LED lights have a lifetime of 25,000 hours.

— SV

Clutch Tanto Mini Gaming Controller

The Clutch Tanto Mini Xbox controller by HyperX — the maker of our favorite budget gamepad — stands out with an incredibly compact design. Its compact footprint is tailor-made for younger gamers. I tip my hat to HyperX for creating the product, as I still remember how unwieldy the three-button Sega Genesis controller was back in the early 1990s.

The tiny gamepad has a standard Xbox layout and a built-in audio jack. It will launch this spring with an attractive $39.99 sticker.

Evolution Premium QHD Gaming Monitor

Do you have a teenage gamer that's very amenable to bribery? RCA’s new gaming monitor might just do the trick to get them to agree to study. My son, the gamer of our house, watched the press release and was blown away by the “damn fast” 240Hz refresh rate, the 2-millisecond input lag, 1 millisecond GtG response time, cool swiveling features, USB-C 90W charging and DisplayPort Alt-Mode, and “sick backlighting.”

The whole thing is on a pivot stand and seamlessly switches between PS5, computer, Xbox, or any other platform you choose to use it for. Personally, I’m hoping some English homework makes it on the monitor between bouts of GTA. RCA is new to gaming monitors, but being the grandad of the electronics industry gives them a great leg-up, and we’re excited to see more innovations like this from the brand in the future.

Mobile Gadgets

Symmetry Series Cactus Leather Cases

OtterBox launched a lineup of elegant and sustainable iPhone cases made from sustainable cactus-based leather. Dubbed Desserto, the leather-like material is stylish, great to interact with, and, crucially, eco-friendly. The accessory giant also unveiled a MagSafe wallet and an Apple Watch band from the same material.

The MagSafe-compatible case will become available in several colors this spring for the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro family. It will cost $59.99, while the MagSafe wallet and the Apple Watch band will go for $49.99 and $39.99, respectively.

mophie Juice Pack (2024)

Zagg launched a version of the iconic mophie juice pack battery case for the latest iPhones during CES 2024. A synonym for iPhone backup power for well over a decade, the nifty gadget will significantly extend the charging independence of the Apple smartphone while keeping it pocket-friendly. It will be available for iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max.

You'll be able to pre-order the mophie juice pack in late February for $99.99, which will come with a robust two-year warranty.

— SV

Auto-Tracking Stand Pro with DockKit

Belkin's Stand Pro is not just yet another sleek MagSafe iPhone stand from the well-known accessory maker. Thanks to support for Apple's DockKit standard, the motorized accessory offers 360-degree movement tracking. This means that whether users are on a video call or capturing content for social media, they will always be perfectly framed.

The accessory has a button for enabling and disabling tracking. Of course, it also doubles as a fast MagSafe charger. You will be able to snag one in the months ahead for $179.99.

Home & Appliances

Nanoleaf Skylight Smart Ceiling Light

The Nanoleaf Skylight is a noteworthy, low-key addition to the maker’s excellent lineup of lighting fixtures that were showcased at CES 2024. In a manner befitting its name, the smart home product consists of light panels that are flush-mountable on a ceiling. It’s easily expandable and adaptable to any space and usage scenario.

Like all Nanoleaf products, the Skylight can glow with millions of customizable colors and shades of white. It’s controllable via an app or through voice commands from your preferred virtual assistant.

Styler Clothing Care Solution

LG’s latest Styler is a home appliance that will make the chore of storing and maintaining your favorite clothes in perfect condition a breeze. Thanks to a high-tech Moving Hanger system and an available Fine Dust cycle, the Styler will remove dust particles. What’s more, the product’s integrated high-pressure steamer can remove wrinkles and sanitize clothes.

Other key Styler features include a room dehumidification functionality and a ventilation system. Pricing and availability details are yet to be revealed.

eufy X10 Pro Omni Robot Vacuum

The eufy X10 Pro Omni robot vacuum impressed us by offering a ton of desirable features at a price point that’s well below $1,000. The versatile cleaning robot can vacuum and mop floors with the help of its sophisticated navigation setup feature. Better yet, it can empty its bin, refill its water container, and even clean and dry its mopping pads by docking into its Omni station.

Anker will begin offering the eufy X10Pro Omni in February for $799.99. That’s considerably less than big-name rivals with comparable features.

Palm Recognition Smart Deadbolt

This Wi-Fi-equipped smart deadbolt by Philips will replace your keys or smartphone with your palm. The convenient gadget has a sophisticated palm reader, which will unlock it by scanning your hand’s vein patterns. The latter are unique for everyone, guaranteeing that only authorized users can unlock it.

Unsurprisingly, the Philips deadbolt is also compatible with virtual assistant voice commands, allowing you to control it or keep tabs on its status. The product will be available to buy in the coming months for $359.99.

Family

BeamO Multiscope

With the BeamO multiscope, Withings treated us to the best health and wellness gadget of CES 2024. The device sets a new standard for wellness monitoring by merging a contactless thermometer, a digital stethoscope, an ECG, and an oximeter in a sleek package that’s easy to use at home or anywhere else.

Getting the readings will take about a minute, and users will be able to share the results with their doctor via a sleek companion app. The BeamO will become available to order this summer for $249.95.

Stork Baby Wearable Monitor

Masimo’s monitoring technology is used in over 10 million hospitals worldwide, and now they’re bringing their powerful tech to parents with the first FDA-approved-for-prescription wearable baby monitor. Utilizing a sock/boot style device, it monitors your baby’s heart rate and oxygen if your baby has rolled over, as well as their temperature, alerting parents if anything is outside normal limits. It can be used when your baby is asleep and awake for continuous monitoring if your baby requires that.

The Stork Baby Wearable Monitor can also share your baby’s data with their health providers. For parents of medically fragile children, this little device could help bring a lot of peace, and because it’s by-prescription, insurance may cover it.

The non-prescription version is sold at major retailers, and it also includes a high-resolution video camera along with all of the monitoring available in the prescription monitor.

See Pro 360° Baby Monitor

Maxi Cosi is one of our favorite baby brands at Best Products. They’re known for their high-quality, innovative, affordable baby products, and as of CES 2024, they've entered into the electronics space. With the See Pro 360º Baby Monitor, they’re taking their affordable and innovative reputation and applying it to a very pricey realm.

The See Pro 360º is a combination of a handheld monitor and camera and a smartphone monitor, giving parents choices of how to view their baby. Like last year’s debut, the Q-Bear, this monitor uses CryAssist technology not only to detect when your baby’s crying but also to translate the sounds to determine if your baby is sleepy, hungry, wet, or just plain cranky.

It has everything you’d expect in a modern monitor: two-way talking, temperature and humidity sensors, a high-definition camera with clear color, night vision, and a long battery life on the monitor itself. It’s doing this all for just $199.

BabySat Sock

The Owlet is not new to the wearable baby monitor game, but they’ve recently stepped up their game, and they’re showing it off at CES. Like Masimo, they’re offering an FDA-cleared-for-prescription wearable baby monitor for parents of babies with a need for clinical monitoring outside of the clinical setting. The Owlet offers something unique from Masimo in that your child’s pediatrician can set the parameters for the alerts sent to them and the parents.

The BabySat measures oxygen levels, heart rate, and levels of motion. Stats are easily viewable through Owlet’s straightforward app. Like their original sock, it’s a wireless monitoring device designed to stay put on your baby’s foot all night (and day) long.

Accident Monitor

TikiSmart just finished a wildly successful crowd-funding campaign, and now they’re showcasing their kid-safety system at CES. TikiSmart is a first-of-its-kind whole-home child monitoring device. It’s a wearable device that tracks when your child gets near something dangerous, like if they’re submerged in water or if they fall suddenly.

The system includes a receiver, bracelets, and monitoring tags. You use the tags to determine danger areas, and if your child approaches it while wearing the monitoring bracelet, it alerts your phone and speaks the alert aloud over the receiver.

You can also buy a “repeater” that extends the coverage much in the same way a wifi extender extends your wifi coverage. The TikiSmart is bound to get a lot of buzz, likely both negative and positive, but for parents with family pools, a pond, or even a fire pit, the allure will likely be hard to resist.

Yoga Tonie

The Toniebox is one of the best storytelling devices, in our opinion, and they’re coming out with some fantastic new characters that they’re debuting at CES.

Sara Llama is the Yoga Tonie, and she’ll guide your child through four stories, each with a theme central to yoga, like friendship and confidence. There’s Juniper, the potty training Tonie that uses stories to help your child prepare for potty training. And finally, there’s Mo, the mindfulness Tonie that walks your child through mindful activities through his stories.
