Christmas is a time of giving, but sometimes it can be difficult figuring out exactly what to give your friends and family. If you’re stuck for ideas but you know the sort of hobbies your “giftee” is into, here are six practical gadget ideas that might help you on your present-buying way this festive season.
For the gym rat
The AirFly Pro is perfect for gym fanatics or frequent travellers with wireless headphones. The Pro, Twelve South’s most recent update of their wireless headphone adaptor, can be plugged into in-flight entertainment systems or exercise machines at the gym, which does away with having to bring an extra set of wired headphones anywhere.
Unlike the original AirFly, which only connects one set of wireless headphones, the Pro can handle two devices, which means couples can listen to the same music or show without wires. To enable this, double press the power button when the AirFly Pro is in pairing mode, and pair the second wireless device the same way you do the first.
The Pro can also be used in cars or on non-Bluetooth speakers to turn them into wireless audio output devices, simply by toggling the Pro into Receive Mode.
The AirFly Pro comes with a non-removable headphone cable and a beefy battery that gives it 16 hours of use before it needs to be recharged. For devices that need a USB-C input, like the iPad Pro and the Macbook Air, the USB-C version of the AirFly (AirFly USB-C) can be chosen instead.
