WHAT TO BUY FOR MY MAN?

So,

• you're looking to buy something special for your man

• he's into tech gadgets

• the price of the gift isn't a major concern

As a tech enthusiast myself, I enjoy exploring and experimenting with tech gadgets. Here are some of my favorite toys that I believe your man (and sometimes gals) will love!

1. Hover X1 Pro Max https://hoverair.com/pages/x1-pro-and-promax The Hover X1 Pro Max is an amazing selfie drone that's incredibly easy to use! You don't need to connect a phone to fly it (though setup requires a connection).
   

   Its portability, quick deployment from bag to flight, and excellent image quality make it great for vacation footage, and it's light enough (<200 grams) to meet drone regulations in many countries. There are alternatives like the DJI Neo or DJI Flip. DJI produces the best consumer drones for the mass market. If you prefer better technical support, warranty, and a big brand name for your gadget, go for the DJI Neo or Flip. However, I still choose the Hover X1 Pro Max for its portability and video resolution.(There's a Pro version, which is slightly lower than the Pro Max version, but if you're spending the money, go for the best!)

   
   

2. Insta360 X5 (in Year 2025 it is in its 5th iteration/version)

   The Insta360 is a dream device for "shoot first, edit later" video recording. How does it work? It records video using its front and back cameras, stitching them together to create a 360-degree video. You can then "reprocess" and "re-record" the video to focus on specific parts. Watch this video for an explanation: https://youtu.be/dGTEUUPsk74 For example, you can record a video with the Insta360 capturing family members in front, on the left, right, and a selfie of you. After recording, you can create a video focusing only on the person to your left, right, in front, or just yourself, or mix all four into one. The possibilities are endless!

   
   

   One downside of Insta360 videos is their large file size and the requirement of a specific app to open them (unlike other cameras like the DJI Pocket 3 or GoPros, which allow you to record and send videos over platforms like WhatsApp).
   

3. Oleap Headset for Video Conference Calls https://www.oleapai.com/products/open-ear-headphones-with-noise-cancelling-mic-bluetooth-5-3-oleap-p200b-pro
   

   Oleap may not be a big name but I am so happy with the ear piece. It does not use the bone conduction tech of Shokz headsets so it is much more comfortable to use for long durations. The amazing thing about this headset is that it has noise cancellation that isolates your voice in very noisy environment and it really works. Plus it is comfortable to use all day! I use it daily for my work, no regrets!
