There are a few things as long and boring as your daily commute. Back in the day, commuters had no other option but to either read a newspaper, sleep or try and start a conversation with random strangers. However, thanks to modern technology, the commute can be fun, and even productive provided you have the right set of gadgets. Here’s a look at some gadgets available on Amazon that can alleviate some of the stress and boredom from your daily commute. Do note that these products were selected based on the features and specifications on offer.
Reading is possibly the best and productive way to use your commuting time. Instead of carrying around a heavy book, get yourself the All-New Kindle (10th Gen). The E-Ink display on the Kindle ensures that you will be able to read comfortably for hours on end without any glare, or issues with sunlight. It also comes with a backlight that lets you read in the dark. The device can store a library’s worth of books, so you can even catch up with old titles if you want. On top of that, the device’s battery life is measured in weeks, not hours. So you can be sure that the device is always there for you when you need it.
Your smartphone is probably your best bet to alleviate boredom during your commute. So get yourself a large capacity power bank like the Mi 20000mAH Li-Polymer Power Bank 2i. This power bank can charge your smartphone multiple times over, and can also be used to charge other devices. This makes this a great choice if you love watching movies on your phone. Since it comes with two USB output ports, it can be used to charge multiple devices at the same time. It also offers 18W fast charging, so you can charge your smartphone quickly, without waiting too long.
The Nintendo Switch Lite is a smaller, more affordable and portable-only version of the Nintendo Switch. As such, you will not be able to use it on your TV. However, since you’ll probably only be using it for your commute, it should work just fine. The best thing about the console is the thought of being able to play excellent ports of some quality AAA games on the go. Making this a must for gamers who simply do not have the time to play on their consoles or PC.
Commutes are generally not very quiet. From the hub-bub of fellow commuters to the noise from outside. A pair of Active Noise Cancelling (ANC) headphones like the Sony WH-1000XM3 Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones can really help you cocoon yourself in your own little world when commuting. These headphones are said to offer 30 hours of use on a single charge, which should be more than enough for any commute, Not only are these good for audiophiles but are also handy for those who want a little peace and quiet when working.
