There are few things in life that can satiate our boredom like a great film, an amazing video game, or a catchy tune. Throughout the ages, we’ve been enamored by the artistry of the visual (and audible) mediums, turning to them as a means of escape from our sometimes unfantastical lives. That’s why, when it comes to watching, listening, or playing, we deserve the best that the industry has to offer.
With the holidays fast approaching, it makes sense that we’d want to enjoy these things with family and friends. And since the end of the year is a time for reflection, relaxation, and nostalgic remembrance, it’s obvious that we look forward to the year’s most cutting-edge peripherals to provide us with the nourishment that we long for. Whether it’s a new big-screen television for immersive movie nights, a retro gaming console for collectible co-operative play, or a sleek, compact music player for some serene, solo karaoke, we’ve curated the perfect gift list for the modern-day media junkie.
