Reddit reviews Audio Technica ATH-BT04NC | Active Noise-canceling Wireless Headphones (Japan Import)

As for me, I have work on the road so I might be carrying more stuff than most people, so I try to minimize what I do carry to be multifunctional and compact.

My long-ass post may look like I'm overthinking things, but in reality it's really quite compact, and ends up taking less space than people who bring regular chargers/etc. Also keep in mind I'm traveling 100% of the time - I got kicked out of my apartment a year and a half ago and haven't lived anywhere since.

Main devices:

• Phone - iPhone 5. This is also my only camera.
  
• Laptop - MacBook Pro Retina 15" (for work, non-negotiable)
  
• iPad - Also required for work, really wish I didn't have to lug this around. Will probably replace with an iPad Mini.
  
• PS Vita - What can I say, I'm addicted to japanese rhythm games. I'll stop carrying this soon though I think.
  
  To keep all this stuff charged, carrying all the standard cables and adapters would take up half my bag. So I've minimized the cableage down to:

• Transforming plug cable (does UK, Euro, US, Aussie)
  
• Inline 3-port power strip
  
• 4-port USB adapter (2 ports Apple standard, 2 ports Android standard) that does 4A so I can charge iPad+Phone+Etc at the same time.
  
• I use this cable for my laptop as well so I don't have to carry a separate cable for that

• Since the iPhone has terrible battery life when you're traveling in areas with poor reception, when you're using it as a camera all day or flying for 26 hours and listening to music, I carry a spare battery - this sucker can recharge the iPhone 2 and a half times.
  
• To avoid USB cable tangles and reduce space, I grabbed a handful of retractable microUSB cables in a Hong Kong market. They they break easier, but are cheaply replaceable. For the iPhone/iPad I use the microUSB adapters instead of getting a special cable for it.
  
  I love music, so I couldn't travel without headphones. I'm also clumsy as fuck, so I prefer Bluetooth headphones.
  
  Enter, these magic earbuds: http://www.audio-technica.co.jp/atj/show_model.php?modelId=382 ( Amazon )
  
  
• Bluetooth stereo
  
• Really good noise-cancelling. IMO, NC actually makes a difference to feeling less crap after a long flight. Also helps when you're sharing a dorm room with someone who snores.
  
• Internal Li-ion battery, charges via standard MicroUSB. 8 hours bluetooth, 60 hours noise-cancelling
  
• You can plug in a cable in the bottom to override and use as regular headphones if the battery is dead/your device doesn't do Bluetooth.
  
  Tiny Wi-Fi router: http://farm7.staticflickr.com/6162/6195138554_964745bd4b_z.jpg
  
  I got this Wi-Fi router in Japan. It's smaller than a credit card and is powered off of regular MicroUSB. Hotel WiFi sucks ass, and in Japan a lot of cheap hotels only have a LAN cable and no Wifi. This router takes no space at all. I've even used it in an airport lounge when I wanted to use my 1 hour wifi voucher with multiple devices at once.
  
  Stuff I'm carrying but I don't need anymore:
  
  
• nanoSIM cutter. Any SIM counter will have one of these by now
