Great gift for work-from-home folks
Ever since the Koss KPH30iCL On-Ear Headphones came out in 2017, I’ve had a pair on my desk. Their lightweight, comfortable form factor, along with the fun, spacious and engaging sound gives you a whole lot to listen to for not a whole lot of money. I listen to them often even though I have headphones lying around that cost thousands of dollars. They also make a good headset for conference calls because the microphone is excellent.

These tiny little earbuds have powerful micro-drivers loaded into sealed tubes allowing them to sound like full-sized cans when you push them in your ears.
