Top 5 Music Gifts
1) Amico Portable Hi-Fi Music System
Inside this classic, 70s-inspired wooden design lives a robust-yet-portable hi fidelity digital radio. Designed by sound guru and Audio Hall of Fame veteran Tom Devesto, this music system is smarter than its good looks. The Amico has eight hours of of wireless playback and weather-resistant wood exterior so you can listen outside. Customize its buttons to play music from different sources (FM, internet radio, Bluetooth, Spotify Connect, etc.), and save favorite stations/sources. It’s perfect for on-go-the tunes.
2) Bluetooth Water Bottle Speaker
Asobu: Bluetooth Water Bottle Speaker – Black
3) Roll Up Portable 22 Bar Xylophone
Rock out anywhere you go with this unique 22 bar xylophone. It’s equipped with record and playback functions, 7 different tones, a built-in speaker, and a tutorial mode so you can play along with the demo songs. It’s also made of flexible silicone rubber, so when the performance is over, you can simply roll it up pack it away in your bag.
4) Wired Noise Isolating Earbuds
These wired Bluetooth earbuds give you all the benefits of noise-isolating headphones minus the bulk. They’re OSHA compliant and rated as professional-grade. Whether you’re mowing the lawn or on a job site, you’ll be able to tune out the noise and make calls in loud environments.
5) Near-Ear Bluetooth Speaker
You don’t have to negotiate between wireless speakers or earphones. These Bluetooth beach speakers create a personal, near-ear listening experience to give you the best of both. They’re heat-, sand-, and splash-proof—and they work beyond the beach, too. Listen to your favorite tunes, still hear what’s going on around you, and leave others free from hearing your music.
