Life is hot this time of year. Come to the rescue is JisuLife's portable Handheld Fan Ultra2. This fan is the real deal — impressive right out of the box — and I quickly became dependent on it.

The robust handheld (5.31-by-1.57-by-2.93-inches/10.4 ounces) fan is loaded with features to provide the cool breeze, including 100 adjustable wind speeds. I had to turn it down to lower speeds, which I consider a great problem. It features a high-speed motor that reaches speeds up to 75,000 revolutions per minute and moves air up to 9 meters per second.

Inside is a 9000 mAh rechargeable battery, good for up to 25 hours (depending on the speed used; higher speeds take more power) before a USB-C charge is needed. A rapid charge can be done in as little as 2.5 hours. An LED smart digital display shows the power level. Switches on the front control everything, including power and wind speed levels.

The Handheld Fan Ultra2 also has a front-facing illumination light with three brightness levels. The 18-watt input/output USB-C charging port is right below the light, which can also be used as a power bank to charge your other devices.

While it's running, yes, you hear the fan. The higher the speed, the louder the high-speed noise reduction motor is, but at no time at any speed did I find it distracting; it's not like you have an airplane engine in your hand. Tools are also included for easy cleaning. For the most part, I kept the speed in the middle, which supplied more than enough of a breeze.

ESR has launched a user-friendly line of portable power charging devices with Qi2, MagSafe and 2nd-generation CryoBoost Technology.

If you're not familiar with those terms, you should be since they prove that all chargers are not the same, even if they do charge your device. The features can charge faster but, more importantly, safer. CryoBoost keeps your phone cool during charging, Qi2 gives you faster charging when using Qi2 enabled smartphones, and MagSafe is a precise magnetic charging system for iPhones.

The multifunctional ESR Qi2 3-in-1 charging station ($69.99) with CryoBoost has MagSafe charging with 15 watts for iPhones, 5 watts for the Apple Watch and 5 watts for AirPods or other compatible true wireless earbuds. ESR specifications list charging an iPhone 16 Pro in just under 2 hours.

ESR lists the 3-in-1 charger as compatible with the Apple iPhone 12 series or later, AirPods 3/2/Pro and all Apple Watches. It should also work with official MagSafe cases, ESR magnetic cases and ESR Universal Rings.

ESR's 15-watt Qi2 MagSafe car charger ($23.99) securely holds a smartphone in place with its 18 built-in N52 magnets and a strong magnetic lock. It can also be securely attached to your car's air vent with the air vent attachment. High-quality adhesive is also included to provide enhanced stability, depending on where it's mounted.

The ESR Qi2 MagSafe battery pack ($49.99) has a 10,000-mAh rechargeable battery inside and a built-in kickstand for vertical and horizontal hands-free viewing. MagSafe charging supplies 15 watts of fast charging and, with a USB-C cable, up to 27 watts of charging.

With a phone securely attached to the magnetic locking MagSafe charger, it has adjustable angles between 45 and 70 degrees. There is also a built-in LED display showing real-time charging and the remaining battery level.

Designer-inspired Laura Ashley Skylark true wireless stem-styled earbuds combine elegance and great sound.

The audio is clear and crisp, and it was adjustable to add some bass with third-party apps for bass-heavy listeners like me. It has a built-in microphone for hands-free calls and pairs easily with Bluetooth 5.4. A USB cable is included.

The lightweight, ergonomic earbuds have a charging case and a built-in charger. They have a classic Laura Ashley flower-inspired look and are available in four design choices: mild meadow, Rosalind, Rosemore and pussy willow. While this obviously doesn't affect the performance, it does add to the style and elegance to make it a complete package.
