Gifts for Music Lovers: Our 2024 Picks

If you've visited Abt, you know we're huge audiophiles. Of course, that means we're more than qualified to pick the best gifts for music lovers. Our experts chose 5 products to help you shop for your music-loving friend:

An audiophile needs a great speaker; the speakers on our phones and computers just don't suffice when they need the best quality possible. One of our favorite wireless speakers is the Sonos Era 100. Big enough to listen at home but small enough to take on the go, this speaker offers Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and Line In connectivity for any listening preference. Most importantly, the Era 100 is designed for superb power. Its combination of amplifiers, tweeters and woofers ensure deep bass, clear vocals and overall finely-tuned sound. We're fans of the Trueplay tuning feature, which analyzes your space's acoustics and adjusts the EQ accordingly. Choose from black or white to best match their sound setup.

If you're looking to splurge a little, we have a speaker pair for you. The KEF LSX II speakers make great gifts for music lovers with a compact design that fits in any space and high-fidelity sound. This second generation of speakers gets a wireless upgrade so you can enjoy Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Chromecast and more. There are also HDMI ARC and USB-C connections, new to this generation. With so many connectivity options, the KEF LSX II are ideal for advanced listeners. Its Music Integrity Engine algorithms ensure rich, precise sound, while the Uni-Q driver array produces accurate, natural sound. As a bonus, these speakers come in several colors, so pick a color they love for a personal touch. 

Maybe your friend is an old-school listener. In that case, a new turntable makes a great gift. Our choice for 2024 is the Magnat MTT 990. It's the speaker brand's first foray into turntables, and the result is superior design: the height-adjustable tone arm is compatible with all pickups, and the rotary knob offers simple controls. The overall design supports smooth playback, which is crucial when listening to a vinyl record. The specially-designed feet prevent vibrations, while the heavy platter brings stability. As neither the least or most expensive turntable on the market, the MTT 990 is a great mid-range option with great performance for the price.

Your music-loving friend probably also listens on the go. Make sure they have the right tech to enjoy amazing quality even when they're not home with great headphones. Our expert pick (and just about everyone's pick) is the Bose QuietComfort Ultra. Their biggest selling feature is their industry-leading noise cancellation, but they also offer incredible acoustics. With spatial audio, they'll still enjoy immersive listening, while CustomTune analyzes their ears and adapts sound performance according to their shape. Bose Immersive Audio places the sound "in front" of them, so it doesn't even seem like listening with headphones. Convenient wireless connectivity and up to 24 hours of playback make these Bose headphones one of our best gifts for music lovers.

By now, you've probably found gift inspiration for your favorite music lover. If you have more gifts to buy, we have something for everyone, whether they love movies or are hard to shop for. No matter who you're shopping for, Abt offers award-winning customer service and free shipping on most items.;
