Wellness brand Moonbird launched a kids version of its stress-relief breathwork device at CES 2025 and it is so cute. Moonbuddy is like a little calming companion the roughly egg-shaped device is outfitted in a silicone animal costume and offers tactile guidance for breathing exercises. Its designed to help kids slow things down for a few minutes so they can feel grounded and ultimately more relaxed. Unlike the adult version, theres no accompanying app, so the activity is entirely screen-free. Moonbuddy is activated by a button on the back, and there are four different breathing modes that range from 6 breaths per minute to 10.5 breaths per minute. Once youve selected an exercise, the devices squishy belly will begin to expand and contract slowly to match the desired breathing rhythm. Moonbuddy looks and feels like a toy thats meant to be cradled in your hands. The company showed it off with bird and bear versions of the removable sleeve, and its hard to choose which is the cuter between the two. But youll have to, because only one sleeve comes with the $89 device and they arent currently sold as separate accessories. Id love to see that option down the line, especially since the team says its working on other animal designs that could someday join the mix. Cheyenne MacDonald for Engadget That aside, adults arent the only ones who experience stress and anxiety kids go through it too, and breathwork can be really helpful for easing those feelings and their potential consequences, like troubled sleep. But getting a kid to sit down and focus on slow, controlled breathing isnt always an easy thing to do. Moonbuddy could be a great, albeit pricey, tool to have on hand in that regard, making the exercises much more approachable. I may or may not be seriously considering buying one for myself.

We're in the midst of CES 2025 and Amazon has announced a series of new features and devices across its product lines. In the case of Ring, this means increasing the quality of its cameras, with Ring Floodlight Cam Pro and Spotlight Cam Pro getting 2K video resolution. This upgrade should improve the quality of each bit of video footage for increased clarity and safety. Ring will roll out 2K video resolution on January 8. Anyone with a Floodlight Cam Pro or Spotlight Cam Pro can use the Ring app to upgrade their device's resolution for free. At the same time, Ring has teamed up with Kidde, a fire safety company, to create smoke and carbon monoxide alarms with Ring's technology. Basically, the devices will send real-time alerts on the Ring app if they detect unsafe levels of either smoke or carbon monoxide. Critically, individuals don't need to own a Ring Alarm or hub to use them. Ring For $5 monthly, customers can get professional monitoring of their devices, which allows agents to contact emergency personnel and contacts. These devices will only be available for US customers at Home Depot starting this April. We're reporting live from CES 2025 in Las Vegas from January 5-10.

We first checked out Displace TV back at CES 2023 and were pretty impressed with the company's 55-inch 4K OLED screen it was wireless, had hot-swappable batteries and you could stick it onto any smooth surface thanks to its proprietary active-loop vacuum technology. Unfortunately, what we saw was just a prototype and only 100 units were ever planned for production. For CES 2025, Displace TV has returned with a market version of its stick-on wireless 4K TV, and also unveiled a wireless soundbar and speakers. There are a few changes from the early versions we saw two years ago. For one, the rechargeable batteries are no longer swappable and now, in addition to the suction cup tech, there are concealed, pop-out legs for setting the screen on a surface. Displace is producing two models, the Basic and the Pro. Each has the same operating system, the company's own AI-fueled Displace OS. They both have 4K OLED displays, with the option of 27 or 55-inch screen sizes. The Pro model is packed with a more powerful 8-core Intel N-300 processor, 32GB of RAM, 256GB of storage and a larger 10,000mAh battery. For comparison, the Basic model uses a Intel N-100 4-core CPU, has 16GB of RAM, 128GB of storage and a smaller 5,000mAh battery. The Pro also includes Displace's new soundbar and speakers that not only offer better sound, but also increase the battery life by 150 hours. (Without the added boost from the speakers, you'll be able to watch between 40 and 60 hours of TV before you need to recharge.) To control the set, Displace has created a multi-touch control device that also packs its own screen. This is a new addition to what we saw in 2023, as those TVs were controlled purely through gestures. Gesture control is still present with the new TVs but only works for basic functions like pause and play. Any further input will require touching the remote. Another change since 2023 is price. Displace targeted a substantial $3,000 price tag for the 55-inch model back in 2023. Now that price is $2,500 for the 27-inch Basic model and $3,500 for the 55-inch. If you want the Pro version, those are going for $4,000 and $6,000 for the same two sizes, respectively. If you're tempted, you may like to know that right now, Displace will give pre-order customers a $1,000 discount on any of the sets but only during CES. The show officially packs up January 10, so you don't have long to decide whether a wireless suction cup TV needs to be a part of your life. Units are expected to ship in late March this year.
