It’s our favorite time of the year. No, it’s not the holidays — it’s CES 2025, the annual tech show in Las Vegas. Tons of new products will be showcased during this event in dozens of categories, including AI, transportation, laptops, TVs, smart home tech and so much more. Companies come together to show out and show off the new and cool things they’re working on, and as always CNET is covering all the action, highlighting the best of the best of CES.
Some concepts at CES won’t be available for a long time to come (and in some cases not at all), but others are already available to purchase or preorder, with many products being released in the first quarter of the year. We’ll continue to update this list with even more options as that info comes in.
We want to hear from you as well. We’re choosing the top dogs at CES 2025 and we want you to vote on which products you think are worthy of an award from us.
When Shokz released the first OpenFit earbuds, we loved them. And now the OpenFit 2 earbuds have debuted at CES. These second-gen earbuds have an upgraded design and drivers that noticeably improve the sound quality. They also have an improved battery life and a new physical control button. What are you waiting for? It’s already available for you to buy for $180 at Amazon, the same price as the original OpenFit buds.
Smart light maker Govee introduced AI-fueled hardware at CES 2025 to brighten your home. The Smart Mini Panel Lights caught our eye because of its seamless setup process to pair together 120 pieces, allowing you to create patterns with bright and vivid colors to bring life to your living room, office or gaming nook.
A set of 10 with the main hub and power cord costs $100, and a similar set with 20 lights costs $150. If you buy just 10, you can buy an expansion kit later for $60.
If you purchase these from Amazon right now, you can save $35 on the 10 pack and $50 on the 20 pack, respectively.
Smart glasses are all the rage these days and it’s only getting better. Xreal’s latest glasses are still tethered, but their displays can fix in space now. Xreal’s newest glasses can cast larger displays and pin them in space, and they work with any device like a laptop, phone or game console via USB-C. If that’s not enough they also have enhanced audio by Bose, a 50- or 57-degree field of view and optional AI-ready snap-in cameras.
Preorders have already started, with shipping starting in March.
Anker debuted a pair of handy chargers at CES 2025. They include a power bank that has built-in retractable USB-C cables and a new four-port, 140-watt PD 3.1 wall charger. Both are easy to fit in your bag anywhere you go. Best of all, Anker is releasing them on Jan. 7, so you can get your hands on one immediately.
This new planter will let you know whenever it needs light or it needs water. After the first few waterings, the smart planter will create an ideal watering routine for the plant and alert you if it needs more light or to be moved due to temperature or humidity changes.
It’s already available for preorder and if you preorder now you can save $49.
This Anker charger is the first of its kind with a digital display featured on the charger. The digital display allows you to monitor temperature and even shows the power output for each port so you can easily track the charging status of the devices. It also has three USB-C ports and one USB-A port so you can charge up to four devices at once.
This product is already available to purchase. Don’t forget to clip the on-page coupon to receive the discount.

TCL is offering the 65-inch model as part of a bundle deal for $800 currently. If you preorder now, TCL will throw in a free Q75H soundbar valued at a hefty $600.
This isn’t just any cooler but it’s an electric cooler that has a detachable 288Wh LFP battery to give you air-cooled refrigeration on the go. The battery lasts for 52 hours of cooling time, and if you add a second battery you’ll get 104 hours of cooling time between 4°F to 68°F. The cooler comes in three sizes– 23L, 40L and 58L. The 58L version features two separate compartments.
Preorder will begin at the end of February and retail availability will start at the beginning of March.
Calling all fizzy-water fans: What if you could carbonate the water in your water bottle? The Roam bottle’s cap has a special lid that you can insert a CO2 cartridge into. Each cartridge is good for 1 liter of water. The bottle itself is made of stainless steel, keeping your beverage cold for up to 12 hours. Keep in mind you can only carbonate unadulterated water, but flavored syrups or other drink mixes can be added after the CO2 does its thing. This bottle is on track to be released early in 2025.
Yes, you read that right. Displace is coming out with a wireless TV. This one-of-a-kind TV runs on batteries and has Wi-Fi streaming. The company says it uses an AI agent to do tasks like streaming, productivity features (like sending emails) and more. The TV comes in two sizes: 27 and 55 inches; and in two models: basic and pro. The pro version has large, built-in suction cups on its back that allow you to stick the TV to the wall.
It’s already available to preorder with shipping starting in March. And as extra incentive to order ahead, you’ll score $1,000 off both sizes of the basic and pro models.
How often do you catch yourself blowing on a cup of coffee to cool it down enough for you to drink? Now you won’t have to. This tiny, adorable robot cat blows on your drink to cool it down for you. The Nékojita FuFu simply sits on the rim of your coffee or soup cup and gently blows cool air onto whatever it contains, taking it down to a more consumption-friendly temp. It’s expected to hit Kickstarter later this year.
