The 12 best gifts for music lovers: headphones, earbuds, stocking fillers and more

Looking for a touch of inspiration ahead of this gift-giving season — specifically for the music-lover in your life? I love that. I want to help you find them a gift they'll love, whether they're embracing the retro wired trend, vinyl/CD/cassette collecting or streaming to a wireless hi-fi setup.

I am TechRadar's Audio Editor, and I can tell you that I'd love to receive any one of these items this Holiday season. Even the three cheapest items on this list look and sound far more expensive than they are — and if it's inexpensive you want, head straight to the Stylophone Mini (this thing is addictive, I'm telling you), the JBL Go 5 Bluetooth speaker or, for a set of truly tiny cheap earbuds, the JLab JBuds Mini ANC.

If they're into hi-res audio, you can't go wrong with the utterly stunning little FiiO Retro Nano Bluetooth amp and DAC (yes, it looks like a tiny Walkman — only no, it's not). Check out the 'view details' extra info tab beneath the image, for more info.

Are they happily embracing the wind beneath their wires in 2026? Look to Sony's 1979-inspired MDR-3R wired headphones, which also come in a special Stranger Things variant. If they want to reenact the Running up that Hill (A Deal With God) scene, just like Max Mayfield trying to evade Vecna, you cannot buy better.

On the other hand, maybe they need cheap wireless cans? They'll love the inexpensive Sony WH-530 , which only arrived a couple of months ago and just reviewed very well indeed — or for wired earbuds, Bose's also-new Noise Cancelling Wired Earbuds are a great shout (if they aren't sold out already; wired audio really is having a moment).
