“Having trouble finding the right gift for the tech-lover in your life?” Caroline Nolan reports for The Street.
“The holiday shopping season is filled with gift guides for parents, pets and every friend and family member in between. For many of us, having so many different choices only means the decision is that much harder to make,” Nolan reports. “Fortunately, Oprah has it covered.”
Oprah’s 10 Favorite Tech Gifts for 2015:
• Apple iPhone 6s Plus in Rose Gold: I love to wear rose gold, so I’m excited that the latest iPhone and the Apple Watch Sport now come in the lovely shade. The blush Sport is way more affordable than the 18kt–rose gold Edition version, and the iPhone has cool new features like Live Photo, which captures the moments before and after a shot, so you get motion as well as a pic. And I love the larger 6s Plus size. – Oprah
• Apple Watch Sport 38mm in Rose Gold: I love to wear rose gold, so I’m excited that the latest iPhone and the Apple Watch Sport now come in the lovely shade. The blush Sport is way more affordable than the 18kt–rose gold Edition version. – Oprah
• Beats by Dre Powerbeats 2 Wireless In-Ear Headphone: Club-quality sound in a gadget not much bigger than a paper clip. Lightweight and colorful with flexible ear hooks (the only design I use at the gym), these new sweat-resistant and tangle-proof headphones are your new workout buddy. – Oprah
MacDailyNews Take: “Club-quality sound,” as in “muddy mess.” Hey, easy on the bass there, champ! For workouts and on-to-go listening, we much prefer and highly recommend Jaybird X2 Sport Wireless Bluetooth Headphones. They work perfectly with our Apple Watch and iPhone 6s Plus units.

Full descriptions of each product in the full article here.
MacDailyNews Take: Obviously, the UP3 by Jawbone Activity Tracker is rendered superfluous by the Apple Watch.
Not that I have ever tried them. I think beats are getting a worse rep since Apple bought them. They seem to have lost their luster. But with that said, can they really be that bad?
I like skull candy, but over the ear Audio Technical are my go to phones for audio truth.
I liked the beats solo 2 wireless I tried in the Apple retail store but $300? I’d rather pay $30 for the Kinovo on amazon.com and have someone lie to me than pay $300 for that much truth.
They’re designed to reproduce a certain type of sound. And they’re targeted at urban youth – aka black kids. So of course there’s going to be some kind of backlash from the close-minded racists in the world.
If you listen to Pink Floyd, these aren’t the buds for you… If however you like NWA, then yeah, these will probably sound a lot better.
Auto correct. Audio Technica
The outrage! You mean there’s 7 that weren’t! /s
Oprah uses a gym?
Who is Oprah?
the third satellite of Saturn.
Come on Botty, here you go again with the negative hateful comments. Now just get back down there under your bridge and stay there.
I own Powerbeats 2 Wireless. There are in no way a “muddy mess.” If anything, the bass is too light.
Who give’s a rat’s ass what is on Oprah’s list? It’s not that she spends a lot of time telling other people how to live. It’s the fact many people actually listen take her advice.
People are sheep.
