"Stocking Stuffers"
Someone still using pack-in earbuds or wants a wireless upgrade? Give the gift of upgraded audio this year with these great value options: |
The E2000 is a simple, no fuss earphone from the boutique Japanese headphone company, Final Audio.The E2000 has a smooth sound, with a bit of bass punch to make pop and electronic genres fun to listen to. Along with its compact, comfortable and durable aluminium earpieces, the E2000 is one of our most popular earphones below $100!We think these would make a great gift, especially for people with smaller ears.Also available with a microphone/remote cable! |
 |
The Shure SE215 is a classic earphone, for good reason.The SE215 is designed as a in-ear monitor for musicians, but its detachable cables, smartphone remote, rich sound and super comfortable, highly noise isolating design and 2 year warranty make it a great choice for your typical commuter as well.Available in 4 colours! |

Fiio RC-BT Wireless MMCX Earphone Cable - $59.95 If you have a pair of earphones with a detachable MMCX cable connection - like the Shure SE215 above, or Westone, Fiio, ALO or many other brands of earphones - the Fiio RC-BT is a cheap and cheerful way to add bluetooth wireless connectivity. With support for AAC, AptX and SBC bluetooth transmission, you have most of your bases covered for a high quality wireless listening experience. If you want something with even higher quality and broader bluetooth support including AptX Low Latency, have a look at the Shure RMCE-BT2! |
"For the kids / content producers..."
There's a whole new generation of Youtubers, streamers, musicians and podcasters, and all of them will appreciate an accurate headphone that will help them take their production values to the next level. Here are our recommendations:| The Audio Technica ATH-M60x is a fantastic lightweight monitor that is perfect for mobile monitoring broadcasting and one-ear use for DJs. If you know someone who has to make a lot of content on the go - maybe with a GoPro or a camera/recorder rig, the M60x will make for a trusty monitor for all your adventures in the field. It's also a great option for casual listening, with a fun exciting sound and some nice bass punch! |
|
| The new Audio Technica ATH-M50xBT takes the super-popular ATH-M50x (perhaps the most popular headphone on Youtube) and upgrades it with a bluetooth option and a more natural sound. Since the ATH-M50xBT includes a cable for wired use, the M50x is a fantastic choice for someone who wants something with accurate sound for content production, but also wants a headphone that they can wear on the go with a wireless connection, smartphone microphone and music controls. Great in the studio, great on the street. |

"For students, commuters & travellers..."
For people putting in hours on daily commutes or long plane flights, a good pair of wireless or noise cancelling headphones are a thoughtful gift. Here are some suggestions: |
Sennheiser PXC550 Wireless Noise-Cancelling Headphones - $369 The Sennheiser PXC550 offers some of the best-in-class sound for a wireless active noise cancelling headphone, with a warm, rich and balanced tone that works well with many genres of music. Lightweight and comfortable, the PXC550 folds flat and comes with a hard case for travel. Not everyone finds Active Noise Cancelling comfortable to listen to for long periods. One of the best features of the PXC550 is the physical switch which allows you to toggle between different ANC modes, allowing you to control the level of noise cancelling. With Sennheiser's 2 year warranty, the PXC550 makes for a fine choice. If you are looking for a more premium option, try the Bowers & Wilkins PX or the Bang & Olufsen H9i! |
