For
the boys
A young man should have cool
gear to match his interests.
Whether your son or brother is
into music or gaming, any of these
gifts will surely make him smile
this Christmas
Sleek and fast
As a starter smartphone, the Nokia
Lumia 610 does not disappoint.
It runs Mango-flavored Windows
Phone 7, providing a cool Live Tile
interface that’s easy to use yet fully
capable. Build quality is great, but
we’d suggest armoring it with the
OtterBox Commuter case, often
found bundled with the device.
Portable beats
When you want something that cuts through the din with
amazing clarity, then the Soundfreaq Sound Kick is a great
choice. These Bluetooth speakers deliver an audio punch
that’ll liven up the boy’s slice of beachfront for up to seven
hours on a full charge.
Boredombuster
Perfect for those long-haul flights or when you’re waiting for
your connection, the Sony PlayStation Vita has a gorgeous
5
in multitouch OLED display and a powerful quad-core
engine that can handle even the most graphic-intensive
immersive games without skipping a beat.
Headbanging optional
Marshall amps are legendary in the world
of rock’n’roll, and while you won’t find any
vacuum tubes inside these Marshall Minor In-ear
Headphones, they still rock out. Interchangeable
rubber ear nubs secure them in place.
