For the podcast addict: Apple AirPods
If you’ve got someone on your list who loves listening to podcasts or music (and who uses an iPhone), Apple’s AirPods is a great gift choice. These “true wireless” ear buds stay charged and synced all day in a convenient carrying case, and sync up instantly with your phone when you put them in your ears. They’re completely wireless and minimally designed, providing a premium, no-fuss experience. You might also want to check out the upgrade pick: the Apple Airpods Pro ($249). They have unbelievable noise cancellation, and the customizable design means they’ll fit your ears even if traditional Apple earbuds don’t.

This box also comes with a very easy-to-use remote and a pair of headphones that plug right into it for private listening, as well an ethernet cable input so you can easily stream 4K/HDR content.

Microsoft Xbox One X
Microsoft’s Most Powerful Console Ever does a lot more than play video games. Yes, you can game on it, but its true purpose is to stand in as the center of a home theater setup.
