The gadget junkie in all of us got hit hard in the wallet this year, thanks to this selection of the top tech toys of 2012.
Beats Executive and Beats Pill
If you’re looking for a great gift for a true audiophile, Beats by Dr. Dre continues to deliver. This holiday season looks like it will be another big one for Beats, and there are two products that will make a significant impact on the scene.
The first is the Beats Executive headphone, giving you a sleek steel exterior and coupling it with noise-canceling technology that works beautifully. When you switch the headphones on, you literally cannot hear people in the same room speaking at a normal volume. The included carrying case and embedded microphone works with Android and iPhone, and they are extremely comfortable. The entire package makes the Beats Executive the must-have headphone of the season.
The second device is the Beats Pill, and it is a surprising piece of hardware. The Pill looks exactly like a pill (go figure), but once you connect it with any Bluetooth-enabled device you’ll be amazed at the sound quality and volume coming out of such a small package. The device utilizes NFC (near-field communication) so, if your phone has that technology (some Android phones incorporate that), all you need to do is physically bump your phone on the side of the Pill to connect the two devices. Both products have a fit and finish that makes it easy to understand why Beats by Dr. Dre is at the top of the headphone game.
