Boom R4A Spooners Earbuds


14) Boom R4A Spooners Earbuds

These killer earbuds solve two huge problems we’ve always had with these little guys. For starters, these $40 buds have extra magnets built in, allowing them to nest together when not in use, so they won’t become all knotted up in your pocket. Second, when they’re paired together you can spin the cord around them for easy storage. No more tangled messes when all you want to do is listen to your music. Speaking of listening to music, they sound great, too. 

Polk Audio Woodbourne

15) Polk Audio Woodbourne

This mahogany-veneered Bluetooth speaker feels as impressive as it sounds. The 17-pound speaker is substantial and gorgeous. The 180-watt player includes to 5.25-inch drivers and two 1-inch tweeters, and it’ll play tracks via Wi-Fi, AirPlay, Bluetooth or a straight USB hookup.


Scanadu SCOUT


16) Scanadu SCOUT
Trekkies, your tricorder is here. Scanadu’s awesome little device captures body temperature and heart data via an array of sensors built into the small device. Just hold it up to your temple, where it snags your pulse, electrical heart activity, temperature, heart rate variability, and blood oxygenation. It transmits the whole mess of data to your smartphone, where the app translates and graphs everything for you, or communicates the intel to your doctor. That would be McCoy, of course. 

Ergotron Omnimout Laptop desk


17) Ergotron Omnimout Laptop desk
We’re huge fans of stand-up desks at Men’s Health—they’re healthy and addictive. Omnimount makes top-quality adjustable units that can easily alternate between sitting and standing. Their newest addition is this laptop-specific desk that supplements their models that support monitors and keyboards. And you know what? You don’t even have to use it with a laptop—you can just, I don’t know, write on it, too. 


Omron HR-500U Strapless Heart Rate Monitor


18) Omron HR-500U Strapless Heart Rate Monitor

Heart rate monitors that operate sans the often-uncomfortable chest straps have been around for a few years, but they only take intermittent readings. Omron’s is the first to capture continuous heart-rate data without the strap, monitoring that along with distance, pace, and calories on your daily run. Plus, the lightweight, breathable strap is washable, so it won’t grow funky over time. When it’s out, it’ll run just $150.


BodyMedia VUE Patch

19) BodyMedia VUE Patch

The body-scanning experts from Pittsburgh, who’ve seen great success with their ultra-sensitive BodyMedia FIT armband, are about to release a new, disposable 7-day sensor patch for those of us who don’t like wearing straps. This device will monitor your exertion, heart-rate, and sleep quality, let you automatically upload the data to their online analytical tools, and will stay on no matter how much you sweat or swim. (Plus, they assure us it won’t hurt when you rip it off.) You probably won’t put a new one on every week—but rather every now and then for a week at a time to grab detailed snapshots of your health fitness trajectories. 


Garmin Edge 810

21) Garmin Edge 810
Saddle up on your bike with Garmin’s newest cycling computer, which now allows users to program in multiple bike types and ride categories, from road training to trail riding. The touchscreen is bright, permitting easy glances at mapping and data streams.
