As we steadily approach the holiday season, you might be left pondering on something. Just what do you get the person who has everything? Well, I want to help you out with a little list of great products. Gifts from the great people at Dekoni, Gravastar, Soundmagic, Final and Blacklyte.

Pick Up Something Unique

So sit back and see the list of a few items that you might just fancy picking up.

Dekoni

If you have someone special in your life and they like their audio gifts, then Dekoni might be just what they like. With their great replacement earbuds, the Bulletz, you can get replacement earbuds for a fraction of the price of the mainstream companies. They can fit up to 75% of earbuds out in the market today, with a great memory form solution, meaning they will adapt to your ear shape. We all know that everyone is slightly different after all.

Just click and go!

If your music lover is slightly more serious, then Dekoni also have the MagDac. This neat little product connects to the back of your phone using strong magnets and allows you to place your DAC in the elastic band. Keeping it close to your device to ensure your cables are kept snug and connected at all times. We love this in combination with our ifi Go Blu Air.

Finally from Dekoni are their replacement ear pads. Featuring products compatible with a number of top brand headphones. They offer up replacement ear pads but with a number of different materials. Their Choice range comes in leather, suede and a hybrid material. Whereas, their Elite range comes in velour, sheepskin and the same hybrid material as the choice. So which are you choosing?

Gravastar

Are you looking for a neat little robot to join you on your desk? You could do little wrong than choosing the Alpha65 Wall Charger. Looking like an extra from Chappie, this awesome little device not only looks incredible, but it delivers a great punch. You simply plug this into a standard plug socket, and you are greeted with a couple of glowing eyes. Then just make use of the three USB ports, two Type C PD and one Type A to allow you to charge a multitude of devices.

OMG How Cute!

It comes with GaN technology to allow the compact size to deliver fast charging as well as great heat efficiency. Along with 8 built-in safety protections against overvoltage, overheating and a lot more nasties. Have I mentioned how cute it looks sitting on a desk!

Final Audio

Now, I hadn’t experienced much of Final Audio’s products, but with the VR500 Gaming Earphones, I was pleasantly surprised. Costing around £25 these are definitely in the budget range, but they deliver decent audio. Featuring a specialised acoustic design that gives you a much more compact sound space, but can separate sounds brilliantly. Giving you an advantage when playing games where sound location is vital. The VR500 is a versatile audio solution giving great immersion to even VR games. With its 3.5mm audio jack, they are compatible with a vast array of devices.

Bringing Added Immersion

With a one-button controller on the cable giving you have access to music playback controls as well as answering phone calls. Honestly, these are great little earphones that, for the price, would be great to pick up and pop in your backpacks.

SoundMagic

Another set of earphones is the SoundMagic E11C. These are slightly more expensive than the Final Audio offering, at £39.99, but they offer something a bit more music-biased

. Featuring rich bass and superb clarity, they have refined 10mm dynamic drivers for great details in the music. With a comfortable design that seals the ear canal to provide maximum sound isolation and immersive listening. The E11C are a great set of earphones that will make sure your music is listened to in the proper way.

Included with the E11c is a 3 button control unit that switches between devices, allowing for control of volume, track control and even telephone calls. The only downside is that the remote has limited function on the Google Pixel 3a/4a and on Sony Xperia devices. I guess you can’t have it all right!

Blacklyte

Onto something a little more spendy, Blacklyte offers both gaming chairs and a gaming desk. Both options with a little bit of savings currently as well. The Athena and Athena Pro are both great offerings. Features a blend of stylish aesthetics and ergonomic design. They are built for long sessions, whatever you are doing. Featuring a number of different designs, you can get a chair to suit any setup. Featuring ultra-soft memory foam, giving you incredible softness as well as comfort for your back.

Featuring 4-way Lumbar Support, the Athena and Athena Pro are both well-equipped for those long gaming sessions, and with the racer style aesthetic, will also look good just sitting around. 4-way armrests allow you to maximise that comfort by finding the perfect position for your arms, reducing stress on muscles and joints.

Blacklyte also are offering the Atlas Lite Standing Desk, a great upgrade if you are looking for something a little fancy. Coming in three sizes to suit any setup, this desk rises to over 1 meter, 46 inches to be exact. Allowing you to have team meetings all while standing up. With a reinforced steel frame with two motors, meaning that you can get from sitting to standing in around 6 seconds. It’s pretty fancy.

To add to the greatness of the desk materials, you get some nifty cable management space to hide all those cables. The ability to save presets comes in handy as well, allowing multiple people to use the same desk. Finished off with a nice durable recycled woodfibre material. Allowing you to work comfortably all while reducing your carbon footprint.
