Twelve South's travel-friendly 2-in-1 Qi2 charger is over 50 percent off right now

Keeping multiple devices charged while traveling usually means packing several wall warts and cables. Thanks to the clever design of the Twelve South Butterfly SE 2-in-1 Qi2 Charger, however, you can power two Qi2-compatible devices with a single, compact accessory. Best of all, the foldable charger is now on sale at Amazon and Best Buy starting at $40.99 ($59 off), which is the lowest price we've seen. The Butterfly SE features two soft-touch charging discs, one that delivers up to 15W for your phone and another that provides up to 5W for your smartwatch. The two discs are connected by a flexible strap, and they snap together magnetically for travel, folding down to roughly the size of an AirPods Pro case. The versatile charger can also fold into a stand, allowing you to display the iPhone in StandBy mode, which transforms the device into a bedside clock or photo frame. Each purchase comes with a color-coordinated woven USB-C cable, though it doesn't include a wall adapter. For this kit to work, you'll need a 30W charger (this one from Anker is currently down to $12.29 at Amazon). Twelve South also offers an aluminum version of the Butterfly, which is also on sale for $79.99 ($50 off) at Amazon. Build quality aside, the so-called Butterfly 2-in-1 MagSafe Charger is essentially the same thing, but it includes the necessary 30W power adapter and four international adapters.

Having all your devices charged while you're on the go is essential, but packing all those extra chargers and cables can be inconvenient, especially if you're dealing with limited space.

And it's available at Amazon for just $41 right now, saving you a whopping 59% off its list price. That top-line discount applies to the black version. Some other color options are discounted as well, though the price may vary. It's not clear how long the discounts will last, so you'll want to hurry. The charger lets you wirelessly charge a iPhone and Apple Watch from a single AC outlet. You can also charge your AirPods when your phone is done. Since this is a Qi2 charger, you'll get a full 15 watts of wireless charging for compatible devices, including the best iPhones. Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money. When you're not using the Butterfly SE wireless charger, it folds up easily so it can be slid into a pocket, bag or luggage without taking up too much space. It really is the perfect partner for people who prefer to travel light. Unfortunately, this charger doesn't come with an AC adapter in the box, so you'll need to provide your own. Make sure it's rated for 20 watts or more. If you need to buy one, Apple's 20-watt USB-C charger is just $13 right now. Why this deal matters We all carry multiple devices around with us these days. Anything that can make charging them more convenient is a win in our books, especially when you're traveling.

At $75, This Sleek 3-in-1 Charging Station Just Hit a New Low Price

The more personal tech that you own, the more of a mess it can make your nightstand. Charging an iPhone, an Apple Watch, and a pair of AirPods all at the same time means multiple chargers and multiple cables, all just waiting to get tangled. Or does it? The Twelve South HiRise 3 Deluxe charger can power all of those things at once, and Amazon currently has it on sale for just $75, That's the lowest price we've ever seen this device reach, making now the time to pick one up. The HiRise 3 Deluxe is the perfect charging solution for Apple users. It has an elevated MagSafe stand with 15W power delivery and an adjustable mount so you can easily see your phone while it charges. It's also got a tiny 5W fast charger for your Apple Watch, as well as a 7.5W wireless charging pad for your AirPods or any Qi-compatible device (including select Androids). Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money. What's more, all of this fits on a compact stand that has a footprint smaller than an iPhone Pro Max to help conserve valuable space on your desk or nightstand. This deal also includes a five-foot cord and power adapter. Why this deal matters Twelve South makes some excellent and stylish accessories for phones, tablets and other mobile devices, but they often come with a pretty steep price tag. This deal drops the HiRise 3 Deluxe to the lowest price we've ever seen, and we don't expect it to be beaten any time soon.

I Never Fly Without This Genius Bluetooth Dongle. Here's Why

If you fly often, you already know the routine. You settle into your seat, start messing with the in-flight entertainment screen, then remember that your AirPods won't connect. That means reaching for the airline's wired headphones that feel flimsy, let in every engine roar and make everything sound muffled. Just the worst. This is one of the most frustrating parts of flying, especially on long trips when decent audio can make all the difference. Between the engine noise, crying babies and that one guy snoring in 14C, you need a better option. The good news is I've found a simple device that fixes the problem completely and makes flying feel a lot more like streaming at home. The AirFly Pro has become a must-pack item in my travel bag. It's a simple Bluetooth dongle that lets me connect my wireless earbuds (like my AirPods Pro) directly to the airplane's entertainment system, no adapters or wired workarounds required. Since I started using it, I've stopped dreading in-flight audio and finally get to enjoy movies the way they were meant to be heard. If you fly often, this little gadget could completely change how you travel. The AirFly Pro lets me enjoy in-flight entertainment The AirFly Pro from Twelve South is a minimally designed dongle that lets me connect to the 3.5mm headphone jack in my airplane seat to listen to in-flight entertainment on my noise-canceling earbuds. All I have to do is pair the AirFly Pro with whichever Bluetooth headphones I'm using, like my AirPods Pro, plug the AirFly Pro into the display in front of me, and I'm all set. I don't even need to use my phone to connect the two devices. Geoffrey Morrison/CNET There are four versions of the AirFly: the AirFly SE, which sells for $35 on Amazon Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money. I use the AirFly Pro, which has been a game-changer for me on flights. I've never had to worry about battery life since the AirFly Pro lasts for more than 25 hours and can fully charge in 3 hours. I can also pair two separate pairs of headphones to a single AirFly Pro, in case I'm with someone else on a flight and want to watch the same movie or show. And if that's not enough, the AirFly Pro also doubles as an audio transmitter, so I can turn any speaker with a headphone jack, like my old car stereo, into a Bluetooth speaker. Geoffrey Morrison/CNET The AirFly Pro makes a great gift for any traveler The AirFly Pro is the perfect present to give to someone who's planning to travel this year. Besides my Anker MagSafe battery pack, the AirFly Pro really has become my most treasured travel accessory when I fly, which is why I consider it to be one of those can't-go-wrong gifts. For more travel gear, here are our favorite tech essentials to travel with and our favorite travel pillows.
