Whether you're shopping for a birthday, Christmas or other special occasion, many men enjoy tech gifts. The latest technologies in music, movies and games are popular items. If the man you have in mind likes reading, relaxing or the adrenaline rush of a video game, there are several gifts that can meet his needs and provide him with a welcome surprise.
iPod Touch
For the man who needs a place to store his music, movies and photos, the iPod touch is a great gift. The iPod touch ranges in size from 8GB to 32GB, with prices from $169.99 to $399.99. This iPod even offers Internet access when connected to a wireless network, and the touch screen makes navigation a breeze. Other features include voice activation for songs, and speakers to play music aloud without the use of headphones.
Amazon.com Kindle
For the avid reader, a Kindle is a must-have device, especially if he travels frequently. This portable device allows the user to load books, magazines, and single articles onto the hard drive for future use. At only 10.2 ounces, the Kindle weighs less than the average paperback and can hold more than 1,500 books. A man on the go can keep everything from trade publications to leisure reading in his Kindle for handy reading at the airport, during the morning commute, at work or at home. The Kindle is $299.99 from Amazon.com.
Noise-Canceling Headphones
Any man who enjoys listening to music can benefit from noise-canceling headphones. These may be especially useful for the busy dad who needs a little bit of uninterrupted calming music at the end of the day. These headphones heighten any musical experience by reducing outside noises so that all the user hears is the selected music playing. These headphones are available both wireless and corded and range in price from $149.99 to $349.99 depending on the brand and retailer.
Touch Screen Universal Remote
Rather than purchasing a boring remote caddy to corral all of the remotes in the living room, consider purchasing a high-tech touch screen universal remote. These remotes are designed to control the television, DVD player, stereo and DVR. With additional attachments, the remote can even control the lighting and temperature in the room. Your man may never need to get up from his recliner again. A touch screen universal remote can be as expensive as $300.
PlayStation 3
For the gamer in your family, a PlayStation 3 is the ultimate tech gift. There are more than 130 games available for the PlayStation 3 in addition to all the games previously released for the PS1 and PS2, which can be run on this system. The PlayStation 3 comes with either an 80GB or a 160GB hard drive as well as one wireless controller and a one year membership to the Playstation Network. The PS3 also has the capability to play Blu-ray movie discs, CDs and DVDs. Music, videos and photos can be stored on the hard drive.
