Christmas gadgets gifts options to boost home entertainment

As the year winds down, several consumer-tech brands have pushed out new devices aimed squarely at holiday shoppers. The range this season spans audio wearables, soundbars, projectors, digital photo frames and budget smartwatches. Each product targets a familiar need: better sound, sharper visuals or easier ways to stay connected during gatherings.

Below is a breakdown of what the companies are spotlighting.

Open-ear earbuds push safer listening

JC has positioned its Synq OWS Earbuds as a mix of utility and festive appeal. The open-ear format stands out, intended for commuters and people who prefer hearing their surroundings while travelling or exercising.

Key points shared include:

• 9D sound output

• Up to 50 hours of playback

• Dual charging support

• Price: Rs 3,299

The pitch is straightforward. Long battery life and awareness of the environment may appeal to users who split their time across work and outdoor activity.

Features mentioned:

• 200W RMS output with deep bass

• Multiple connectivity options

• Price: Rs 7,499

The focus is on casual entertainment: movie nights, gaming and small gatherings where users want more powerful sound without building a full home-theatre system.

Projector and digital frame expand family-focused tech

X-Electron is promoting two products this season. The first is the iProjector 1 Plus (Remote Focus), aimed at creating cinema-style viewing at home.

• Price: Rs 11,990

The digital frame is positioned as a way for families to stay connected even when dispersed, a sentiment that often sees more traction during year-end holidays.

Wearables and earbuds enter the budget segment

A season shaped by practical tech

Across brands, the common thread this year is practicality. Most devices offer steady upgrades rather than new categories. Battery life, connectivity and ease of use dominate the talking points, reflecting a consumer base that favours function during travel, gatherings or at-home downtime.

For shoppers, the spread of price points creates options across audio, visual, and wearable categories. As the holiday season approaches, these products aim to slot into everyday routines with small but noticeable improvements.
