At its core, CES is a festival of desire, whether that’s for an affordable 5G phones, an inkjet beauty wand, or a personal pod transporter that means you’ll never have to walk again. It can be anticlimactic if you're at home. You realize that none of the dazzling gear you saw will be available for at least six to 12 months—and some of it will never come out at all. But we got you. We've highlighted a few of our favorite things at CES that you can buy right now.

Update Jan. 13: We fixed a link to the Elite Active 75T. Our link was going to the standard Elite 75T, which are also very nice earbuds that recently came out.
