Top Luxury Tech for the Holidays

http://www.girlgeekchic.com/po

Chances are good there is tech on your holiday wish list! The Annual CEA Holiday Purchase Patterns Study showed that 63% of American adults will be giving the gift of technology this year and are also dreaming of finding it under the tree. Of course, tech can mean anything from discount ear buds to a full recording studio suite. Your wish list (and your shopping list, too) probably trends more toward the latter part of the gifting spectrum, and why not? This is the time of year when indulging is encouraged. With that in mind, here are five luxury tech ideas that will make giving and also getting a joy.

 

Amazing Sound with Looks to Match

 

While Ultrasone Edition 10 headphones are about the sound and not looks, it can't be denied that they're striking. Chic Zebrano wood inlay, galvanic Ruthenium plating and Ethiopian sheepskin leather ear cups hide titanium-plated drivers with powerful neodymium magnets, S-Logic Plus technology and ULE technology with MU-Metal shielding to reduce radiation output for an amazing listening experience. Only 2,010 units were produced – each with a serial number to ensure authenticity – making them a true collectible and a worthwhile addition to any audiophile's listening cabinet. These headphones are priced from$2,599.

 

The iPhone and an Upgrade

 

The 128 GB iPhone 6 Plus is luxurious enough as is, offering the iPad experience in a slimmer, cooler package, and carriers like T-Mobile are even offering benefits like free WiFi calling and a limited amount of free 4G LTE service to holiday splurgers. If, however, your motto is 'more is more' then BRIKK's Lux iPhone 6 Plus is for you. They offer true opulence in tech, with an iPhone coated in pure, hand polished 24K gold, rose gold or platinum for an amazing finish that's durable enough to stand the test of time. Prices start at$5,995 for simple yellow gold and go up as you add extras like a full carat of diamonds.

 

A To-Die-For View of the World

 

Love TV or know someone who does? Fall in love all over again with Samsung's curved 78-Inch 4K Ultra HD. It's big. Really big. Which is nice, but not nearly as lavish as being able towatch movies, sports, shows and streaming content at four times the resolution of full HD. The curve dramatically improves viewers' field of view, creating an amazing, ultra clear panoramic effect. That plus PurColor technology means the action on screen feels larger than life – and more beautiful, too. The ultimate immersive television experience offered by this TV is priced at$7,999.99.

 

Big Audio in a Small Package

 

KEF LS50 PC speakers are small when it comes to profile but huge when it comes to sound. At just 11.9" tall, 7.9" wide and 10.9" deep, they can sit pretty on a desk or bedside table but don't let their diminutive stature fool you into overlooking them. These speakers can be considered close relatives of KEF's $30,000 Blade, whose engineering was the inspiration for the LS50's proprietary driver. That means they generate a massive sound field that retains fine detail so music sounds as energetic and alive as it does in the studio. You'll find them for $1,499.99 per pair.

 

The Most Awesome Smartwatch Yet

 

Whoever said anticipation is glorious might have been thinking of the Arrow smartwatch. With no set release date you can still give the gift of an IOU for this timepiece that features a 360 degree rotating HD camera for image and video capture, calling capabilities and a display clear enough to make browsing social media on your wrist not just a reality but also fun. No price has yet been announced.

 

 

When it comes to the holidays, does spending a lot always mean a more luxurious gift? Absolutely not. But a little generosity never hurts!
