Some of us love our headphones. Some of us love our watches. Some of us are perfectly content with a cup of coffee from wherever. The technology fans in our lives, however, are rarely satisfied with the tech of the day, and they'll be the first to let you know it.
When we're booking massages, they're using app-controlled pods to stimulate their muscles. While we play music over our phone speakers, they're fine-tuning the spatial audio on a real-life stereo speaker. On the bright side, as easy as it is to admire (and, fine, envy) these wireless wizards, it's even easier to shop for them at the holidays.
After all, we know just the kind of stuff they'll appreciate. Can't say that for everyone, right?
