Top 5 Music Gifts
1) EARBUDi Flex Headphone Clips
Save your ears from ill-fitting Apple earbuds. Snap them into this earbud hook. It loops around the outside of your ear—so no more jamming buds in to stay put. Mold the flexible loop to give your earbuds a custom, comfortable fit. They’ll stay in your ears, too, whether you’re exercising or hanging out.
2) App-Connected Smart Piano
This super smart piano will teach you how to play—like an effective, patient teacher. Sync your device to the piano and your hands to the keys, where LED lights integrate seamlessly with the screen and guide you with step-by-step and hand-by-hand instructions. Pick from the library of videos and digital sheet music as you make your way from Twinkle Twinkle to one of Mozart’s concertos. You can stop, rewind, and slow down whenever you want. And when you’re not practicing, use your piano as a speaker to stream music.
3) Kid's Headphones
Lunii’s Kid's Headphones are just the right size for little ears, and the volume limit of 85db makes them safe for young listeners. Made in Lunii’s iconic bright blue and yellow to match Lunii's Audio Storyteller, your little listener will be fashionable and comfortable while creating their very own stories. And since every Octave comes with a dual-jack plug, you can snuggle up and listen to stories together.
4) Skoog 2.0 Touch & Play Music Cube
This music cube encourages little musicians to get hands-on with making sounds. Kids can make music instantly by pressing, pounding, or tapping the irresistible squishy cube. Switch up sounds, set volume controls, play music from streaming platforms and more through the app.
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.
