__Withings Activite Pop__ Withings paired down its $450 Activite smartwatch and fitness tracker into the more colorful $150 [Activite Pop](http://www.withings.com/us/). Made of PVD-coated metal, the face comes in black, blue, and tan, with a variety of different straps to choose from. It retains the same features as the original, though: step tracking, sleep tracking, vibration alerts, and an eight month battery life.

__Parrot Zik Sport__ Rare is a pair of earbuds that stay lodged in your ears while you're working up a sweat. [Parrot's](http://www.parrot.com/usa/) new Zik Sport headphones wrap around your head with five points of contact, distributing pressure so they won't budge. They've got the same audio features as Parrot's Zik 2 headphones, plus biometric capabilities like heart-rate tracking and an accelerometer for measuring ground contact time, vertical oscillation, and steps per minute.

__Rollkers__ These [battery-powered wheeled soles](http://www.rollkers.com) slip onto your shoes, and they're designed to get you where you're going 7mph faster. They're different from those other skates because they're designed to kick in with your regular walking motion---a similar feeling to a moving walkway with no training or hospital visits required. Due in late 2015, pricing is still TBD.

__MyBrain Technologies Melomind__ Nothing says "let's quantify my chill mode" like a Bluetooth-equipped helmet. This [relaxation measuring skullpiece](http://www.mybraintech.com) comes straight from the streets of Paris, using EEG data from its sensors to report how chillaxed you are. The sidecar app creates music from your brainwaves, of course. Due in late 2015, it'll cost around $280.

__SleepPhones__ Headphones in bed are fine if you're lying on your back, but the second you turn sideways, things get uncomfortable. Not so with [SleepPhones](http://SleepPhones.com). This fuzzy headband hides disassembled headphone guts, and while the audio quality won't be great, it's perfect for a late night Netflix sesh. There's a wired version ($40) and a Bluetooth-powered wireless one ($100).

__Smarter WiFi Kettle__ There's all these smart coffee pots lately, but tea drinkers have waited far t-oolong for kettle innovation to start brewing. This [app-enabled teapot](http://smarter.am) offers temperature controls and pre-boil options via your smartphone. If you prefer coffee, Smarter makes a coffee machine that you can control with the same app.

__Brio Smart Power Outlet__ Fingers and electrical sockets don't mix. [Brio](https://www.briohouse.com/products) is a smart power outlet that can prevent shocking mishaps and save you money too. It only delivers power when something is plugged in and requires electricity. The basic safe outlet costs $50, or you can upgrade to the $100 smart outlet that works with Brio's other home monitoring solutions.

__XYZPrinting Food Printer__ What's better than a 3-D printer that can print chocolate and sugar? A 3-D printer that can print cookies! Input designs via USB, or select one from [XYZPrinting's](http://us.xyzprinting.com) catalog on its 5-inch touchscreen. They can be up to 200x150x150 mm in size, and may need to be baked afterward (unless you want to eat raw cookie dough).

__Connected Cycle Smart Pedals__ Most folks that hop on a bike just want to get from Point A to Point B and make sure their bike isn't stolen in the process. [Connected Cycle's](http://connectedcycle.com) smart pedals replace normal flat pedals and include GPS and sensors so you can track your speed, distance, elevation, and whether the bike starts moving when it should be locked up.

__Zensorium Being__ There's tons of gear that tracks steps and sleep. Being, a $200 smartwatch coming this spring from [Zensorium](http://zensorium.com), aims to record a more slippery data point: your mood. Using an optical sensor to follow blood flow in your wrist, the company claims the watch can tell when you're calm and when you're stressed. An app then lets you see how those readings line up with other factors like sleep and activity.

__Sengled Light Bulbs__ Smartphone-controlled lightbulbs are soooo CES 2012. But the LED specialists at [Sengled](http://sengled.com) have a novel approch to making sure their bulbs stand out. One lightbulb in their line doubles as a speaker and another houses a video camera. The most useful might be the Boost: a $50 Wi-Fi repeater, extending your network to the more remote corners of your home. Let there be light—and bandwidth!
