If you’re in the mood to splash some cash, Apple's AirPods Max are some of the best sounding wireless headphones we’ve heard. And with the added bonus of noise-cancelling and onboard microphones, they’re ideal for work and play. 📸: APPLE wired.trib.al/sHhywhJ 2/8

For something a little more retro (and wallet-friendly) the Koss Porta Pro headphones combine great sound with an 80s aesthetic - which is why they’ve been an on-ear staple for decades. And at $36 they’re the perfect stocking stuffer. 📸:KOSS trib.al/0WWoDuR 3/8

For newcomers to the vinyl game,this Fluance RT81 Turntable is a great introduction. It's belt-driven, with low noise, and comes with a very nice AT95E elliptical stylus. And it sounds so good your friends will think it was twice the price.📸: FLUANCE wired.trib.al/hCL6WTj 5/8

But if you’re in the market for something a bit more practical, try Koeppel Design’s The LP Block. It can store up to 10 records or a couple of box sets at a time, so your record sleeves will stay pristine. 📸: KOEPPEL DESIGN wired.trib.al/cQmWTz5 6/ 8
