The biggest electronics fair in the world is taking place in Las Vegas at the moment, and with everything from WiFi kettles to self-driving cars, this is stuff that not even Back to the Future thought we'd have in 2015.

With so many new products and incredible gadgets being announced every day, it can be hard to keep track of what's actually going on, so the Man Cave has our picks of the best products we've seen so far, with a look at the ones that you might actually end up getting some day. 

Phones

Everyone and their mum has a smartphone these days, so there's clearly money to be made in finding the next big thing in the phone market. For the moment, that seems to be curved, flexible phones and LG's G Flex 2 seems to be the one making the most waves. While there have been a few companies who have tried the curved smartphone already, LG look to have actually gotten it right this time, with people looking favourably on this particular design. 

When it comes to phone accessories, one thing that really stood out was the Phaz P2 headphones that can charge your phone as you listen to music. It could be a bit of a gimmick, but being able to listen to our podcasts and our music for longer without having to worry about battery life certainly appeals to us.

Sound

While were on the subject of sound, one of our favourite speakers ever seems to have gotten a major upgrade, and that's the Ultimate Ears Boom. The new UE Megaboom promises to be lifeproof, meaning that it has a waterproof – IPX7 certified – and stain-resistant acoustic skin, and has a durable grab-and-go design. The first edition was a great piece, and the new one promises even more power (and more bass) so we're excited to get our hands on one for a trial run soon. 

Sony have also produced what they call a 'symphonic light' and while it might look like a hipster lighting fixture from your favourite boutique-chic burger joint, it is in fact also a speaker. The pretty fantastic design makes this a much nicer addition to your home than your average speakers too. 

Google are also getting in on the act with Google Cast, which will let you play your music from your android device or laptop to your speakers or audio set up at home.

Tablets

Tablets look as though they're not going anywhere for now, and with them becoming increasingly powerful, the next stage is to make them cheaper and easier to carry around. Asus have gone for the latter, while Toshiba's Satellite Click Mini looks to bring plenty of functionality to a small package.

Their tablet comes with a micro HDMI, micro USB and SD card slots so that you won't be left disconnected, while the Encore 2 (the first of which was a very solid tablet than ran a full version of Windows, making it way more useful than others) promises to build on the platform that the previous Encore set. The Click Mini looks to be the more interesting of the two thanks to the fact that they're going in at the lower end of the pricing scale with an "affordable" device, and that it comes with a keyboard meaning you can still get work done on the go. 

The Asus Transformer Book Chi is the thinnest tablet ever made, and might turn out to be a cheaper alternative to the Surface Pro 3, which has incredible versatility and power, but comes with a hefty enough pricetag. 

Cars

We've already seen that Audi are having one of their cars drive itself to the event in Las Vegas, but they're not the only ones with self-driving tech on display. Mercedes' concept car really looks like something out of Blade Runner and is filled on the inside with swivelling chairs and touchscreens for you to plot world domination as you get from place to place. 

BMW also unveiled their new keyfob, which is like a small touchscreen device that can control your car, and will definitely make you feel like you're driving the Batmobile. 

TVs

TVs have been getting thinner, bigger and 4k-ier all round this year, as Samsung unveiled a range of curved devices, including a 105-inch behemoth that would allow you to really watch TV, because you're only half doing it now on your pathetic 60-inch miniature screen. 

Elsewhere, Panasonic and Sharp are also aboard the Ultra HD displays, but only the former have produced one that's so skinny it may well float away off your wall if you don't attach it properly. It's awful the pressure these poor, impressionable, young TVs are under to lose weight these days.

Wearable and other gadgets

Wearable technology is the new thing, everyone is doing it these days, including one company that made a belt that will automatically adjust after you've eaten and as you move around. This could come in handy after Christmas dinner, so that we won't feel so uncomfortable but it will also track your weight, and vibrate when you've been sitting still doing nothing for too long. Talk about solutions to first world problems...

For all the cyclists out there, your daily journey just got a bit more high tech, as there are a few new devices for you too. The Visijax nylon coat is a jacket that has lights and indicators for cyclists, making you properly hi-vis on your daily commute. It should give you about thirty hours of battery life, and it's also waterproof.

The Connected Cycle pedals are also bringing some serious tech to your old school bike, with GPS and motion sensors so that you can track your fitness as well as letting you know where your bike is if it happens to be stolen.

Nest also announced a whole new range of ways that they envisage the smart home going, and their system will be at the heart of it. While Nest controls the thermostat and the heating in your home, they are also connecting with Whirlpool to time your washer and dryer to finish up just as you come in the door, with LG to tell your fridge to save energy when you're not home, with both August and UniKey to remotely work the locks on your home and with Protect, who make alarms for your home. You can even make your light bulbs flash when your system detects smoke or dangerous gasses in the house to let you know that something isn't right.

As of yet, no company has announced a time-travelling cyborg human extermination system, so we'll keep our eyes peeled for it later in the week. 

Apart from those listed above, there were a huge number of cool devices and new technologies unveiled across cameras, computing and all sorts, so let us know if we missed anything that you think should have been included by tweeting us in or commenting below.
