Christmas gift ideas for the gadget lover in your life
Now that the holiday gift season hits its stride, it’s time to get a jump on finding the perfect gift before the big day creeps up on you. If you’re buying for a techie who loves gadgets, you’re in luck because TCL has so many devices to choose from which suit any budget.
To make it quick and easy for you here's a couple of products that make great gifts. Let’s dive in!
MOVEAUDIO S180 earbuds
High quality wireless earbuds are a perfect gift because many people consider them a luxury they might not buy for themselves. The MOVEAUDIO S180 wireless in-ear headphones offer a fantastic range of features at an attractive price.
The first thing you’ll notice is the ergonomic design conforms to the shape of your ear canal for a snug, comfortable fit, delivering deeper bass, overall clearer sound quality and adjustable noise processing. There’s an integrated dual-mic system that uses beamforming technology to enhance the sound of your voice and reduce background noise when making a call or recording voice memos.
If you need to chat with a coworker or hear what’s happening around you, switch on Transparency Mode to let the outside world in. And when you want to immerse yourself back into that playlist or podcast, engage the Active Noise Cancellation.
TCL has managed to pack powerful 10mm drivers into a small in-ear form factor, so the S180s produce a rich sound profile with brilliant treble and hefty bass.
When fully charged the S180s will last for up to 6 hours, but the charging case extends the play time to 30 hours. Just 15 minutes of charging will keep the earbuds going for an hour.
TCL LINKHUB 5G HH515
Give the gift of better Wi-Fi this Christmas and it will be remembered for years to come! Most people don’t bother to upgrade from the basic router that came with their broadband package, even though doing so often comes with major benefits.
The TCL LINKHUB 5G HH515 is a router that offers some special features you won’t get with a more basic model. The stylish design is small, so it blends nicely into your home decor. You can say goodbye to dropping the network connection when there are too many devices, because this router connects up to 256 devices at once.
Supporting both SA and NSA network types, the LINKHUB 5G HH515 gives you 5G connectivity with speeds up to 4.67Gbps at Sub-6GHz. It’s a Wi-Fi 6 router with concurrent dual-band 2.4GHz and 5GHz frequencies, and it also has 4x4 MU-MIMO, a technology that divides bandwidth efficiently between devices so that your network stays fast even when there are lots of connections. You’ll see a total Wi-Fi throughput of up to 3.6Gbps.
In practical terms, this means you can enjoy lag-free multiplayer gaming without having to plug in an Ethernet cable, and you can stream at 8K without buffering. Any activity that requires a high-speed connection, such as AR or VR applications, video calls or group working will benefit from the fast and reliable networking a router like this one offers.
The TCL Connect App for your phone or tablet makes it easy to set up this router and stay in control of your network. The parental controls enable you to schedule online time and website access for children, and you can even give different security levels to guest users. All settings can be upgraded and monitored via this app, so it’s very easy to administer your network.
