Sony WH-1000XM4 Headphones
If you’re looking for the best noise-cancelling wireless headsets going around, here they are. The Sony WH-1000XM4 comes in a neat, hard case for easy transport, and they’re super light and comfortable to wear. What we love most is the quality of the noise cancellation technology. When you power it on, the entire outside world almost disappears. Amazing. Then, when you pump music or a game through them, the sound quality is exceptional. The 40mm drivers combine with the 4-40,000Hz frequency range for great clarity. Add a whopping 30-hours of battery life and you have some fantastic tech!

Rode Wireless Go II
If you’re thinking of becoming an influencer, then you’re going to need a good microphone. Taking great video is easy, but getting good sound is a lot trickier. That’s why we love the Rode Wireless Go II. One end clips onto your shirt, the other plugs directly into your phone, camera or laptop. They sync up wirelessly and as you record, the audio you get is crystal clear no matter how far you are away from the camera. There’s a range of accessories that can make it even better, too, plus it comes with two mics, so you can do a chat with a friend, or record in stereo!

8BitDo SN30 Pro 2
Despite its retro look, this alternative controller to the Nintendo Switch Pro is full of modern, pro-gamer goodness. It feels great in your hand, with a nice textured back, awesome sticks and triggers, and a nice heavy weight. There’s two additional flipper buttons on the back as well as a switch to swap between button layout profiles. You manage it all through an awesome mobile app that allows you to customise everything; the button mapping, the stick sensitivity, vibrations, trigger depth and more. The battery lasts 20-hours and the SN30 Pro 2 even as motion-sensors built in. Plus, as it connects via Bluetooth, you can use it on a PC, Mac, tablet or mobile phone as well. Epic.
