Hi Mike, Which Pacsafe backpack are you using?

I'm also a travel enthusiast. Your recommendations are all spot on. Those are the things I'd use for myself. You're one of my favorite gear reviewing channels. Thank you for doing the heavy lifting for the rest of us!

As a frequent traveler myself I think you should carry over the ear headphones , I've left the country 8 times this year already and there's no way earbuds are comfortable for long periods of time , maybe on a 2 hour flight is fine but 8-13 hour flights you need comfort

I don't mind earbuds for many hours. I only realize how uncomfortable they are when I take them out of my ears

I used to bring both and I agree that it's nice to switch between them for comfort, but my latest earbuds are very comfortable and I actually can wear them for an entire flight. Now I just prefer to not bring over ear headphones to save space. Still, if I have the extra room I totally agree with you and will bring over ear headphones

I too don't mind using earbuds for very long periods, as I did on a recent trip from the UK to Thailand and back. I'm using the Galaxy Buds2 Pro and find them very comfortable and I have found the active noise cancellation to be excellent. They're an ideal space saver.

A good travel selection, the one essential I see you did not mention is a travel adapter. For someone flying often I find it is as important as the travel charger brick to be able to have a one stop solution for every country's plug type needs. And yes, I get your frustration with Apple still holding onto that ancient lightning cable head type. I can't wait for them to make the full switch to USB-C on their whole product line! It will slim down the cables I need to bring even more!

A good suggestion. I have one that features UK, EU and US/SEA adapters as well as USB and a car lighter adapter too. All the connections fold out so in its normal state it's a square of 4 cm x 6 cm x 9 cm. Quite compact and slightly rubberised so it can be carried with other accessories. What I find, particularly in South East Asia is that the travel adapter with a power adapter added to it will quite easily pull itself from a socket. So I end having to try to support the whole thing. It's a bit easier in the UK where we have the extra earth pin which makes for a tighter fit. If there was a gadget to help support these arrangements then that would be ideal.

As ever, an interesting and engaging post. I regularly travel relatively short distances, up to 3 hours each way. Long haul flights are rarer. As commented already, a travel adapter is essential. I have one that is compact and adaptable, sliders fold out the required region's adapter. I carry some standard adapters for the region in my hold luggage too. With a charger connected to a travel adapter it's quite a bulk to hang off a socket. Some sort of support would be ideal if someone has come across one. I now have a couple of Anker chargers and tend to use their braided USB cables too. I've found them reliable over the years and the 65W charger I have will power my HP EliteBook and Microsoft Surface (not at the same time) as well as having a spare socket to charge the phone/Buds/etc. I have some small USB-C to USB-A adapters to minimise the number of cables I carry. The Bluetooth Air adapter is not something I've see, I'll definitely be investing in one of them. As for bags, I like the security features on the bag you featured. I tend to switch depending on my needs. I have an old Pakuma backpack which has a padded compartment for my laptop. It doesn't have a lot of capacity but ideal for planes and where I have additional luggage. It's barely aged in 10 years so great quality. I have had budget backpacks which have fallen apart very quickly. Now I have 25l and 30l Berghaus backpacks which have survived many trips without an issue. Neither are designed for laptops but sort of work in that the smaller is ideal for when we're away and out and about without the laptop. The larger I use for shorter trips and can squeeze 1 to 2 nights worth of gear in as well as my laptop and accessories.

I think the US passport is the most recommended tech product👀

Sometimes the problem for bluetooth transmitter device is the delay. Its annoying for watching movies

6:47 peak design case works well with peak design accessories, but it won’t necessarily protect your phone well and is weaker with regular MagSafe devices. My peak design case didn’t protect my phone in a pretty catastrophic way where my phone was no longer fixable, and I also stopped using my MagSafe pop socket because it came off too easily. Can’t recommend that case to anyone in good conscience

And one missing thing: world mains adapter plugs for 220V etc.

How does the Samsung watches work with the pixel 7 pros? I am curious about the galaxy 6 classic, but unsure about the features.

@worigami

I have been sharing my Galaxy Active 2 with a Pixel 6 Pro and the integration works well. The only think you lose is the Samsung Health Monitor for ECG and Blood Pressure. That only works with a Samsung phone unless you're prepared to follow a relatively simple hack/install for ECG and a bit more of a complex process for BP. You still get the rest of the health features: sleep, tracking, etc. In the last week I made the switch to a Samsung Galaxy S23 and have noticed the integration is far more seamless. I've gained the extra health features but also noticed I'm getting many more notifications coming through on the watch. I suspect it wasn't a limitation with the Pixel phone, more a manual configuration notification step.
