Ah, CES. The annual tech conference introduces us to innovations we never thought we needed but soon won’t be able to live without. From security cams and smart toilets to sex toys and gaming stations, the variety of ways technology improves our everyday existence never fails to amaze us.
In honor of the inventors who imagine gadgets that help us do anything and everything better, more efficiently, and in an aesthetically-pleasing fashion, we’ve rounded up the most tempting tech of 2021. While much of these creations won’t come to market for a while, a select few are available now for purchase. Check ’em out!

MaskFone
Let’s face it: masks have been a part of our daily lives for almost a year now, and they’re not going away for the foreseeable future. It’s about time the tech world intervened to help us step up our personal protective equipment game. Not only is this mask more comfortable than whatever you’ve been wearing, but it also comes with a built-in microphone and earbuds, so you can take calls or chill out to your favorite tunes without ever exposing yourself (or anyone else) to those dangerous respiratory droplets. At under $50, it’s a steal, too.

It’s supposedly super easy to install, too. That said, it’ll set you back $3,100 and isn’t available until summer.
