As the Mashable team scampers around the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas this week, there's one question that's top of mind every time we visit a booth or attend a demo: "That's cool, but when can I buy it?"
A lot of times, the answer is never. Many gadgets exhibited at the annual tech industry trade show are just concepts and prototypes that don't make it to market. (That Withings OMNIA smart mirror for at-home health screenings, for instance? Yeah, there's a good chance it'll never see the light of day.)
But sometimes the answer to that question is soon — or even now. Below, we've rounded up a list of five new products from CES 2025 that consumers can buy or preorder immediately, from an AI-powered planter to a smart bird bath. We'll be updating it throughout the week as more announcements go live, so check back often.
Got a finicky pothos that acts like it's perpetually under- or overwatered? The LeafyPod is an AI-powered smart planter designed to tell you exactly what it needs to thrive. It features environmental sensors that keep tabs on soil moisture, light, temperature, and humidity levels, and its built-in rainfall-esque watering system can change its schedule based on the plant's current condition. (Its companion app features care info and watering schedules for over 100 common houseplants.) Also nice: There are no cords, so it looks just like a regular planter.
You've heard of the robot vacuum and the robot mop, but a new challenger is about to enter the arena: The robot lawnmower. If you're lucky enough to even have a yard in this economy, one of your least favorite chores is most likely mowing your lawn manually. The Lymow One promises to take that task off your hands by doing all the dirty work itself, employing automatic boundary detection to get your lawn looking immaculate. While there's no exact release date just yet, you can still back the Lymow One on Kickstarter as we speak.
Augmented reality is still in the "early adopter" phase in terms of audience and widespread utility, but if you're looking to dip your toes in nonetheless, XREAL's new One Pro AR glasses seem to be the new standard. The recently upgraded wearable has a speedier chipset with the XREAL X1, as well as a larger FOV, higher max brightness, and a more lightweight design compared to its predecessor. You can pre-order the XREAL One Pro AR glasses right now — they'll run you $599 and are expected to ship out in March 2025.
Bird enthusiasts, rejoice, for the Birdfy Bath Pro is here. The camera-equipped smart bird bath does pretty much what you'd expect it to do: It allows you to check in on your avian friends as they use your bird bath to freshen up. How adorable! It comes with two different lenses — a wide angle and auto-tracking version — and has the option for an AI analysis add-on that's supposed to recognize repeat visitors and take highlight photos. The Birdfy Bath Pro is currently up for preorder starting at $249.99 and is slated to ship out in March 2025. P.s. You can score $50 off if you preorder now.
JLab's new pair of ANC headphones is here in the Epic Lux Lab Edition. Joining the likes of Apple AirPods and the Bose QuietComfort line, the Lab Editions feature Adaptive Active Noise Cancellation, as well as an Aware mode. The headphones also have high-fidelity 32mm dynamic drivers, spatial head tracking, wireless charging, and more. The JLab Epic Lux Lab Edition ANC headphones are priced at $199.99 and should ship in mid-February.
