JABRA ELITE 85H
It’s hard to concentrate on
chemistry when your room-
mates are rocking Chromeo.
Slip on these comfy wireless,
noise-canceling cans for up to
36 hours of distraction-free
study; mics on each earcup pick
up all the noise in the room, then
electronics blot it out, leaving
you alone with your ambient
dub mix. Yes, they’re expensive,
which makes them a great gift
for an incoming freshman.
LENOVO SMART CLOCK
Just tell Lenovo’s fabric-
covered wedge what time
to wake you, and in the
morning it’ll play whatever
gets you going: news, a pod-
cast, even a YouTube video.
Google Assistant is built in,
so the 4-inch touchscreen
can display and read out
answers to spoken ques-
tions. (“OK Google, what’s
an iamb?”) And unlike many
connected bedside devices,
it doesn’t have a camera;
Big Tech can’t watch you
sleep—or whatever.

YETI RAMBLER 14
A lidded and vacuum-insulated
mug like this one is essential
for dorm life, where you’ll be
consuming many hot things
you want to keep hot and even
more cold things you’ll want
to keep frosty. The extra-wide
mouth on this 14-ouncer not
only gives you plenty of room
to spoon your late-night oat-
meal, it also exposes your
scalding coffee to more air,
cooling it down to sippin’ tem-
perature much more quickly.
