Listen on the go

These Bose Frames sunglasses have a secret: hidden in the pieces that go over your ears are mini, built-in Bose speakers. Bose’s debut sunglass collection features a stylish way to create an immersive audio experience. The best part? You’re the only one who hears the music. To everyone else, you’re just wearing sunglasses. $200, bose.com.

Quick clean

In just 30 minutes per day, your workspace, whether it be at home or at the office, can be free of harmful germs. Sterilize-X is a medical-grade UV light; in just half an hour, the portable, rechargeable device will kill up to 99% of surface bacteria without the use of harsh chemicals. The only drawback is you (and any pets) have to leave the room while it’s working. But if you can plan your day around that, the peace of mind knowing you’re returning to a healthier environment is worth the time spent away. Bonus: It’s also great for hotel rooms when you travel. $160, sterilize-x.com.

Tune out

Ever have a moment when you wish you could just tune out all the noise — literally and figuratively? Calmer is an in-ear device that filters sound frequencies from noisy, high-stress environments such as traffic or in co-office spaces. It works by using a small waveguide to remove the resonant effect of the concha, the small hollow part of the outer ear. Less resonance equals less distortion which, when it builds up, can trigger stress responses. Calmer is one-size-fits-most and is barely visible when worn. $27, flareaudio.com.
