Here are 10 smart gadgets to help you work better while on the go.

Do you fly frequently for work or travel regularly between a few branch offices? Between the jetlag and the rush between appointments, it’s easy to get flustered by a less than stellar set of peripherals. While better gadgets won’t necessarily help you complete your work faster, they can make the journey a far more comfortable and less frustrating proposition.

We’ve put together a list of some of the best gadgets a travelling executive may want to bring on the road.

Kensington ClickSafe Keyed Twin Laptop Lock

Kensington ClickSafe Keyed Twin Laptop Lock

From the inventors of the Kensington Security Slot, the ClickSafe Keyed Twin Laptop lock allows for two separate devices to be physically secured with a single cable lock. A laptop and an accompanying portable storage drive, for example, can be quickly secured with the device. Moreover, Kensington’s proprietary ClickSafe technology allows for hardware to be attached in a single clip-on motion, eliminating the need to insert a key or endure a troublesome, multi-step locking process. Once locked, the tamper-proof, disk-style lock and a carbon strengthened steel cable should serve to deter opportunists and all but the most determined thieves.

The Bose OE2 audio headphone set is a stylish, great-sounding pair of headphones that is highly recommended. Whether for music playback or for watching a training video, the slim headband and soft memory foam ear cushions lend themselves towards a comfortable listening experience. Music is lifelike, thanks to the company’s proprietary TriPort technology that ably reproduces deep, low notes. For users on the move, the collapsible design of the headphones allows them to be folded flat for easy storage in the included carrying case. An OE2i model is also available with an inline microphone and a remote control for use with an iPhone.
