    Holiday Gift Idea: Bowers & Wilkins C5 In-Ear Headphones

    The Bowers & Wilkins C5 in-ear headphones is a great gift for the person that wants high-end sound in the most compact form factor possible.  As with all Bowers & Wilkins products, the build quality is as superb as the sound quality.   What really sets these in-ear headphones apart from the rest is the loop part — that fits against the cartilage of the ear giving it a secure fit.   While these are not active noise-canceling, the design amazingly blocks out noise as if they are.  The Bowers & Wilkins C5′s cost $180.

    Holiday Gift Idea: Zoom H2n Digital Recorder

    The Zoom H2n is the perfect gift for a musician, videographer, student or anyone that like to record high-quality audio.  This is the latest revision of the original H2 and offers some major improvements over the original — specifically the LED display.  The old version had a LCD display which was really hard to see.  There are five “studio-quality” microphones in the H2n and even a built-in speaker.   All this for only $199 (currently $179 @ Amazon)!
