The Amazon Echo Show wraps a 10-inch screen and excellent speakers into an Alexa-powered home hub. It might seem silly to choose the Show over the Dot, but the screen is convenient and can display lyrics, YouTube videos, and tons of other convenient info. I never thought a voice-assistant would be worthwhile, but yelling at Alexa to turn on or off the TV and lights has saved me so much hassle I don’t think I could live without her anymore.

The Audeze Mobius headphones are pricey, but have a great sound (especially the bass) and some unique features. They contain a proprietary head-tracking technology which adjust the output when you turn your head. This gives the surround sound a more „surround“ feeling and works great with Dolby Atmos. They’re compatible with PC, consoles (except the PS4), and mobile devices, so you’ll be sure to get a lot of use out of them.

Finally, 4K HDR monitors are becoming affordable, and the BenQ EL2870U is a great purchase for anyone wanting to enter the wonderful world of UHD PC gaming. This 28-inch monitor has a 1 ms response time and supports AMD FreeSync. Some PC gamers might be disappointed by the 60 Hz refresh rate, but if you want 4K resolution you’re going to be hard-pressed to find a video card that can run current games above 60fps, anyway.

If you want great sound without the hassle of messing with an XLR board, the Blue Yeti is one of the best USB microphones you can get. The cardioid, bidirection, omnidirectional, and stereo settings allow the mic to function well in any recording scenario, and it produces warm, clear sound with a minimum of setup.
