Back to school: Best accessories

At around $140, the ATH-M50 is a fantastic-sounding headphone for the money.

Apple's minimalist Bluetooth Magic Trackpad is a compact wireless multitouch alternative to a mouse for iMac users who envy MacBooks. It rests flush next to existing Apple Bluetooth keyboards for a seamless look and feel.

Jawbone's new portable Bluetooth speaker is larger and sounds better than its smaller sibling, the original Jambox -- but it is more expensive.

If you have an Apple Wireless Keyboard or Magic Trackpad, the Mobee Magic Bar is a rechargeable charging accessory that replaces the two AA batteries that power those products.

The Logitech Wireless Solar Keyboard uses indoor lighting to recharge its built-in battery. It comes in both a Windows and Mac version.

We gave an Editors' Choice Award to the Jawbone Era Bluetooth headset in 2011. It comes in lots of color options.

Priced to compete with Apple's Bluetooth keyboard, the Logitech Tablet Keyboard for iPad is a similarly shaped, well-functioning writing tool with a twist: its case doubles as an iPad stand. Logitech also makes one for Android tablets (with Android-specific keys).

Like Logitech's other wireless solar keyboards, this one can charge itself using standard indoor lighting or sunlight.

While it isn't a bargain, the combination of the 3-in-1 cable and the battery pack's appealing design makes the Innergie PocketCell one of the better -- and most versatile -- portable chargers out there.

Logitech brings solar charging to an iPad keyboard case.

The comfy and impressive-sounding Incase Sonic headphones offer excellent bang for the buck.
