Sennheiser CXC 700 premium traveller’s headphones featuring NoiseGard are a must. Besides a highly advanced acoustic system, compatible with in-flight entertainment systems and MP3 players, iPods, iPhones, and iPads, the CXC 700 headphones offer a unique and traveller-friendly ‘TalkThrough’ function that mutes the audio input. This lets you listen comfortably to the flight attendant, the inflight announcements, your seatmate or the guy beside you on the lift – all without removing the ear canal phones. Volume, NoiseGard and TalkThrough controls can be operated with one hand, even in low lighting. A single AAA battery provides up to 16 hours of continuous listening so your sound system won’t die on long trips or during a full day on the hill. Includes a sleek storage case and handy cleaning tool.
Available for $299.99 from Future Shop stores across Canada or from www.futureshop.ca

Hang the Light Owl on the doorknob or prop it on your nightstand before you head to bed and you’ll never again trip over your suitcase in an unfamiliar, dark hotel room ever again. This motion-sensitive device, which operates on four AAA batteries (not included), stays dark while you’re snoozing, but automatically switches on six LED lights when you need them. Set it for 20, 60 or 90 seconds, or even for continuous light if you really feel like a lost soul, to guide you on your midnight rambles.
Available for $15.00 U.S. from Magellan’s at www.magellans.com or 800-962-4943
