Top 5 Music Gifts
1) Wireless Noise Isolating Earbuds

These wireless Bluetooth earbuds give you all the benefits of noise-isolating headphones minus the bulk. They’re OSHA compliant and rated as professional-grade. Whether you’re mowing the lawn or on a job site, you’ll be able to tune out the noise and make calls in loud environments.
2) Hi-Fidelity Earplugs

Hi-fidelity earplugs let you enjoy loud concerts without sacrificing sound quality. Filters built into the super low-profile plugs dial down volume by about 22 decibels across frequencies, equally from bass to treble. This brings the volume to a softer and safer level, while the sound quality remains crystal clear. You can chat and hear conversations with the earplugs in, too, which makes them a useful addition to any loud situation.
3) Spindeck Turntable

The plug-and-play minimalist, belt-drive turntable is designed for out-of-the-box setup. Features high-quality materials and precision-engineered parts for a superb performance when listening to your vinyl. Accompany your plug-and-play minimalist turntable with the Minimalist Turntable Speaker System or Record Storage Rack & Turntable Stand.
4) App-Connected Lighted Keyboard

This super smart keyboard will teach you how to play—like an effective, patient teacher. Sync your device to the keyboard and your hands to the keys, where LED lights integrate seamlessly with the screen and guide you with step-by-step and hand-by-hand instructions. Pick from the library of videos and digital sheet music as you make your way from Twinkle Twinkle to one of Mozart’s concertos. You can stop, rewind, and slow down whenever you want. And when you’re not practicing, use your keyboard as a speaker to stream music.
5) Skwitch Touch & Play Music Button

The music button clips onto an iPhone and transforms it into a full-spectrum music machine through its app. Tactile yet digital, the button lets kids scratch beats for hours of expressive playtime. Source instruments and filter sounds to create chords, riffs, and melodies with a one-button band.
