ZDNET’s key takeaways
- IFA 2025 had several new tiny accessories to make your life easier.
- My top picks include the Chipolo Loop, a rechargeable item tracker that works on iOS and Android.
- The Aukey MagFusion Ark is another top pick, being a useful power bank.
IFA 2025 was all about smart home gadgets. From Philips Hue’s launch to the new Rokid Glasses, there were a lot of cool gadgets at IFA this year. While I was on the ground looking for big launches, seven small accessories caught my eye. Some of them can make traveling easier, while others add convenience to your day-to-day tasks.
A few of them were launched last week, while others have been on sale for a while now. Nonetheless, here’s why they are my favorite accessories from IFA 2025.
I love small Bluetooth item trackers, but I’m tired of losing their proprietary charges or realizing that it’s time to get a new battery – and that is exactly why I love the new Chipolo Loop trackers. They are not only rechargeable but feature a Type-C port to charge, which will make a lot of lives easier, especially for frequent travelers.
Like the Chipolo Pop trackers, these work with both Apple Find My and Android’s Find Hub networks and support the company’s app for multiple extra features. They are now available to pre-order for $39.
This Belkin power car charger features 75W output through two (USB-C and USB-A) ports alongside a retractable USB-C cable. So, it can charge a total of three devices on the go. The 75cm retractable USB-C cable delivers up to 60W, which can charge even your laptop, while USB-C Power Delivery (PD) can fast-charge both Apple and Samsung smartphones. It will soon go on sale for $70.
These are among the most versatile accessories available. The Aukey MagFusion Ark combines a base station with three Qi2.2 charging pads and three spherical power banks with their own Qi2.2-compatible pads, providing a total of six wireless charging pads.

You can also pick the spherical power banks (6,700mAh capacity) and take them anywhere with you. These spheres also offer 30W USB-C power output. Aukey will announce MagFusion Ark’s pricing closer to their release in early 2026.
It is one of the smallest accessories, but I think it would be useful if you have a workstation on your desk. The DeltaHub Carpio 2.0 is designed to offer relief from daily wrist pain. It acts like a wrist support for both your hands, and the ergonomic design is said to help relieve the pain.
Thanks to its compact design, it is super portable, and I am looking forward to using it on my desk starting tomorrow, with the iPhone 17 launch coverage. The DeltaHub Carpio 2.0 is already on sale for $35.
The Doogee BoneAir Swim is touted as the world’s first pair of open-ear earbuds that offer both bone-conduction and air-conduction technology. They’re IP68-rated for dust and water resistance and sport button controls on the right earbud for quick tasks.

Doogee says they’re designed for swimming, running, cycling, and “all outdoor sports.” I like them for their bright orange color and comfortable design. The BoneAir Swim is now available for $130.
I travel frequently and carry a thick, small brick-like plug convertor. It isn’t easy to carry, but it remains a travel essential. That is, until I got my hands on the Energea TravelGo Adapter 45 at IFA 2025. This adapter is half the size of my current convertor, and supports 35W or 45W of power output.
It houses two USB-C ports (25W+20W when used simultaneously) and works with all voltage inputs internationally (100V-240V). The Energea TravelGo Adapter 45 is currently available to purchase for $37.
At IFA 2025, Baseus announced a trio of audio products featuring Sound by Bose. However, the highlight of its wireless ANC headphones, Inspire XH1, is their incredible battery life. They are claimed to last up to 100 hours without ANC and 65 hours with ANC on.

Moreover, they support fast charging, which adds 12 hours of battery with just 10 minutes of charge. I’m excited to test them primarily for their battery life, which will come in handy for frequent travelers. They are now available to purchase for $150.
These were a few accessories from IFA 2025 that I’m excited to use in my day-to-day life because I see huge potential in them. I’ll be testing most of them in the coming weeks and report back on how they fare in daily life.
