THE SMART WAY TO PICK
Know the setup first.
Audio has more compatibility questions than it first appears. Check inputs, connectivity, space and whether the person records or simply listens.
Think about whether the recipient already owns something similar, what accessories or ongoing supplies the idea requires, and how much room it will take up. If the person has carefully chosen a favorite piece of gear, an adjacent upgrade is often safer than a replacement.
