1more Triple Driver In-Ear Headphones ($100)

Taylor GS Mini-e Koa Guitar ($800)
The Taylor GS Mini-e Koa guitar has an 18-inch-long body (small enough to fit in a gear-stuffed trunk), and it delivers deep, rich sound.
Outdoor Tech Chips 2.0 Bluetooth Helmet Speakers ($130)
Outdoor Tech’s Chips 2.0 Bluetooth Helmet speakers tuck perfectly into audio-compatible ski and snowboard helmets, so you can carve turns without tangled wires.
Vinyl Me, Please Essentials Gift Membership ($99)
Vinyl Me, Please sends a new record every 30 days as part of its three-month Essentials Gift Membership. And if your giftee isn’t feeling the album of the month, they can swap it for one of 25 back-catalog classics.
U-Turn Audio Orbit Basic Turntable ($180)
The U-Turn Audio Orbit Basic turntable adapts some key features of high-end models, including a belt-driven platter and an isolated motor for low hum. And it sets up in under 30 seconds.
