The best gadgets to buy this Christmas

  • From Spectator Life

Nuraphone headphones

From £9/month, Nuraphone

I confess – the idea of buying headphones on a subscription plan is daunting. But one 60-minute session with these headphones and you’ll understand why people are raving about them. A fun ‘pairing’ session configures the headphones to your personal heading tastes (I can’t emphasise how cool this was) – before letting you flick between your ‘personal profile’ and neutral audio. Having tried these headphones out, it’s hard to go back to listening to music the normal way again. A must-buy for the music-lover in your life.

Larq self-cleaning water bottle

From £78 from Larq

The market for cool-looking, hip water bottles is fairly saturated right now (excuse the pun). So this water bottle sets itself apart by claiming to be entirely ‘self-purifying’. That means you can put dirty water in it, and it uses some UVC- LED light to eliminate 99.99999% of the bacteria in the water. Pretty nifty. We weren’t able to test this in wild rainforests where it’s presumably intended for use, but we can confirm that the water in our office tasted cold, fresh and clean! It’s a great gift for the luxe adventurer.
