When making your Headphone or Earphone Purchase, consider:

• Sound quality: One of the most important factors to consider
• Connection type: Wireless or Wired? 3.5mm headphone jacks on phones are slowly disappearing as wireless technologies continue to improve, making bluetooth handsets a more futureproof and comfortable option as there is no cables dangling around. A 3.5mm connection headset does has the advantage of the ability to play anytime as usually there are no batteries involved. 
• Noise Isolation: The amount of noise the headset is able to block out. Adaptive Noise Cancellation (ANC) is a technology that cancels out outside sound, making it ideal for commutes and flights where you need to drown out outside noise. Well-known ANC Headphones include the Bose QC35 & 700 series, and sony WH-1000 series. In some situations the ability to hear outside noise is important, and there are headsets like the Airpods (non-Pro) that still allow you to hear your surroundings. 
• Battery Life: As battery technologies improve, devices with batteries are becoming more and more battery efficient to offer long battery life while still remaining light and comfortable. 
• Gestures & UI: Many headsets now have a range of buttons with gesture support for many common functions such as answering calls and changing the volume
• Build & Aesthetics: Lastly the design and build quality should be considered, for something that is durable and matches your style. Also features like waterproofing / sweatproofing are great for physical activity 

When making your Speaker Purchase, consider:

• Sound quality: Likewise most important factors to consider
• Volume: How loud can the speaker go, can it fill a room?
• Portability: Do you want a portable speaker for when you're on the move? Or do you just want a boombox for the most volume during home parties? The great news is that many portable speakers nowadays are still able to offer great sound quality and volume
• Battery Life: A key factor to take into account if you are after a portable speaker. 
• Voice Assistant: As the technology around us becomes smarter, voice assistants makes getting information and completing tasks much easier.
• Build & Aesthetics: For a design and build that is suitable for your needs. Waterproofing is also something to consider if you want your speaker to be fine with splashes.
