HAVE YOURSELF A TECHY CHRISTMAS

SINGING A MERRY TUNE WITH SENNHEISER

Knowing what’s worth the price tag isn’t easy if your not a music tech buff yourself. Luckily, that’s where we come in. As any audiophile knows, Sennheiser is unrivalled in sound quality. The PXC550 II Wireless Headphones are also a great piece of kit for your home office with a bespoke triple microphone making it easy to take calls and next level noise cancellation to suppress unwanted background sounds. Give the gift of silence this year.

THE APPLE OF THEIR EYE WITH AIRPODS PRO

Our favourite wireless earphones going, Apple’s Airpods Pro covers the whole gamut. Experience smart and intuitive tech, from the immersive sound of Active Noise Cancellation to being conscious and alert to your surroundings with Transparency mode. Either way, hear superior sound with an adaptive EQ that automatically tunes music to the shape of your ear. No fuss, they're ready to use straight out of the case. Their only downfall, they are tiny enough to get lost among your trail of chocolate Rose’s wrappings, be warned.

BE STREETS AHEAD THANKS TO KAISER BAAS

Never have we enjoyed the simple pleasures of getting out and about with some fresh air than this year. If your loved one is willing to tackle the elements and rediscover our urban terrains then this will surely put a smile on his face as much as his first bike did. Features include a foldable frame, cruise control (don’t worry, it turns off the instant you break), a large LED screen, and a top speed of nearly 25mph. Our only added suggestion is a big red bow.

OUT ON IT’S DRONE WITH THE MAVIC 2 PRO

Do any aspiring cinematographers spring to mind? Whether you just want to give the gift of a much improved Instagram profile or know someone who is dying to capture their overdue travels post COVID-19, the Mavic 2 Pro from DJI will do the business. The only drone with Hyperlapse time-lapse mode, a top speed of 44.7 mph, up to 31 minutes flight time and crucially omnidirectional obstacle sensing in case they are not a natural with the remote controller. Best of all they are a whole lot of fun to fly.

NEW YEAR, NEW HIM CARE OF FITBIT SENSE

The smart wearable to standby, meet Fitbit’s first-ever advanced health smartwatch. Perfect for those who want to keep up their good habits well into 2021 or lose their lockdown love-handles. All the bells and whistles you could wish for to measure and manage your stress levels, heart health and calorie burning. Even if they are tech-adverse these couldn’t be easier to use with the on-wrist app.

WE’VE CALLED IT WITH THE iPHONE 12

Christmas presents don’t come much sweeter than the latest iPhone. As we become more reliant on tech for not just our work and entertainment but now too socialising were sure that the 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR display 2 screen, 5G for super-fast downloads and high-quality streaming and a highly evolved dual-camera system that has nailed night mode, will be just what they wanted to see under the tree.
