4 Wireless Headphones

Wireless headphones are devices that connect to your mobile device via Bluetooth and let you listen to music, podcasts, or audiobooks with high-quality sound and comfort. They can also have a built-in microphone and controls that enable you to answer calls, adjust the volume, or activate voice assistants. Wireless headphones can block out the external noise and keep your ears free from wires. You can select wireless headphones that fit your ear shape, style, and budget.

Wireless headphones are dangerous in a vehicle, especially if they block out external noise. The only one that might be acceptable is a single ear device that doesn't block the whole ear canal, worn in the ear closest to the centre of the car.

I've discover recently the convenience of a seat gap filler. It fits into the gap between your car seats, preventing small items, like your phone or keys, from falling through. Some models also come with USB charging ports or become an organizer.

A bluetooth ODB-2 transmitter can be useful if you have an Android device, using apps like Torque you can get lots of useful engine diagnostic data and record it to your phone for later analysis.
