Snow Maiden recommends. Choose a gift for a real man for the new year



[ad_1]

The New Year is one of the main holidays in the country. The preparation starts at least two weeks, wherever there are Christmas trees dressed and not very sturdy, the stores are preparing to increase sales of canned peas, mayonnaise and other ingredients of the Russian salad, while Belarusians look to colleagues. The last time we chose gifts for kids, it was now men's turn (the same kids, only with a beard).

A gift for a stylish

Electric razor

After the New Year, Santa Claus can be deprived of a beard. If it's an invoice, then everything is simpler, since it's unlikely that he wants to part with his. Second option: to persuade to take care of facial hair, giving beforehand the right tool. Or ask to grow a new beautiful.

Braun Series 3 Shave & Style is a razor designed to shave dry and wet with foam. There are indicators of the degree of load, the need to clean and replace knives. The built-in battery is enough for 45 minutes of work. The essential, the kit includes a beard trimmer and five different ridges.

Panasonic ES-ST25 costs about the same price, the possibilities are similar to the battery life. But the model looks different, the kit includes a support for charging (only through the charge) and tidy the razor. Among the shades, note the possible problems with the shaving of the neck and a weak mower.

Philips S5400 – rotary shaver, it's its main difference compared to the previous two models. It has three shaving elements, the design allows to wash the heads under water, there is a mower, indicators of discharge, cleaning, replacement of knives and blocking. The grade is not too rich – there is a ceiling. The battery life is the same 45 minutes.

Total hair clipper

Yes, and it happens. If you want to be stylish, you have to make sacrifices and compromises, once said a smart man. But this is not accurate.

Philips MG3730 / 15 – the cheapest way to get rid of unwanted hair on the head (to correct hair, beard and mustache), as well as on these (nose and ears are also overgrown ). The length of the hairstyle is adjusted by nozzles ranging from 1 to 16 mm. This is not the most silent device, there is no protection against moisture, but you get what you pay for. The battery life is up to an hour.

Philips OneBlade QP2520 / 20 will be smaller, more simple, will help tidy up the beard and mustache, the length is adjustable in the range of 1-5 mm. The battery life is 45 minutes. An easy option to carry. Disadvantages – Someone will seem like expensive replacement attachments.

Braun MGK3080 is an advanced combine that helps manage head and body hair. Cutting length – from 1 to 21 mm. The battery life is 60 minutes.

Wahl Trimmer Stainless Steel is the most expensive trimmer of our selection. Also has its own specialization: it is necessary for the care of the beard and the mustache, as well as the vegetation in the ears and the nose. The length of the haircut – 0.4-12 mm. The camera has received the largest battery, which will last up to four hours.

Wristwatch

The watch is a complicated gift: everything is very individual, you can not get caught. For this reason, we will not describe any features of these time measuring devices. After all, if the Snow Maiden (or his team) has confidence in his abilities, then he knows what to do.

We offer an overview of clbadic options:

A gift for music lover and music lover

Hi-fi player

Let's take a look at several gift options for a music lover. It is clear that modern smartphones allow you to listen to high quality music (a headset would be a suitable speaker), but there is always room for a specialized instrument.

The FiiO X1 second generation is one of the most affordable Hi-Fi players. It supports MP3, WMA, AAC, OGG, FLAC, APE, Apple Lossless, WAV and AIFF formats. All this happiness is packaged in a metal case, the device is equipped with a small screen, there is a linear output, Bluetooth of the fourth version is responsible for wireless data transfer.

The Cayin N3 is distinguished from the previous device by a slightly larger list of supported formats: MP3, WMA, AAC, ASF, OGG, FLAC, APE, Apple Lossless, WAV, AIFF, PCM and DSD. In addition, this drive can serve as an external DAC for a computer.

The Sony NW-A55 is more expensive than previous models, but it exceeds them technically in some respects (especially in terms of support for codecs for wireless streaming). The player has a larger touch screen and can also replace an external DAC.

If the recipient of the gift is a novice music lover, he will certainly be delighted, but it is better to consult an expert.

Wireless speaker

Many sons – not always cool, sometimes you want to get rid of these "noodles", which stretch as much as possible. And the opportunity to take with me quality music for a walk is captivating. The JBL wireless speakers of different lines are one of the leaders in this segment, although the choice is of course not limited to them.

The power in low cost and small models is 15 to 20 W, which will be enough for a normal room or a small business. Larger devices will be able to provide higher power, as well as additional features: for example, the connection of flash drives and the built-in radio, although this is also reflected in the cheap models. The presence of the radio will not be attributed to the benefits, because the real New Year's men listen to VKontakte's music.

The expensive options are characterized by an extended range, they can provide a better sound and the interior is beautiful.

Wireless speakers can be connected not only to cell phones – they sometimes replace wired speakers with a computer: they are enough for movies, games and music.

Wireless Headset

Wireless headphones add 10 points to the charisma and attention of men. The most famous and most popular are the Apple AirPod, which will deserve more attention. The bottom line is that they work both with iOS devices and with Android devices.

This is not only the brand, but also the quality of Apple headsets: they offer excellent sound for the form factor, there is no problem of ergonomics (if the ears of the person presented are "gags") , not the last word for design, everything is good and autonomous. This is the price to pay, but the AirPods replace the wireless headset when you talk on the phone.

If you choose a universal helmet, preference should be given to full size models. In winter, you can not hide them under a hat, but weather permitting, neither too windy nor too snowy, they will not allow a man to stay in this important organ.

A cheaper option – JBL E55BT. These are folding portable wireless headphones with a maximum range of 10 meters. They operate via Bluetooth, they are equipped with a microphone and a detachable audio cable (on which the microphone is placed). No noise cancellation system, the battery life is about 20 hours.

Sennheiser HD 4.40BT is a bit more expensive. The brand has proven itself in different price segments, so there should be no concern about quality. These headphones can also be folded, which saves space. An audio cable is present, but the microphone is built into the case and you can use it without connecting the "cord". On a load, they will last longer than the previous model.

Sony is on our WH-CH700N New Year Gift List. Unlike the previous ones, these headphones do not pile up. The microphone is also built into the case and does not require an audio cable connection. The device has a noise reduction system, which is however not very effective. The battery life is more than 30 hours, but the headset will also be charged for a long time (about 7 hours, about three times longer than Sennheiser and JBL).

The longest reach – Plantronics Backbeat Pro 2 with a maximum range of 100 meters. Foldable, with built-in microphone and full audio cable. They have put in place an effective system of noise reduction. There is a set of sensors for automatic pause when removing the head and touch control on the cup. There are no questions about the sound quality, they work without recharging for a day.

Vinyl record player

Vinyl – It's been a long time since it's neither hot nor light, some modern players imitate only the appearance of their "ancestors" for a long time. Such a device looks good and can give rise to a collection of records.

ION Audio Vinyl Motion turns vinyl at speeds of 33 1/3, 45 and 78 rpm, has electronic switching, built-in phono stage and, most importantly, will digitize the home disc collection. Through the USB port, the player is connected to the computer. There is an RC connector for speakers (built-in speakers – 5 W). Oh yes, the built-in battery will last 4 hours.

Audio-Technica AT-LP60 supports 33 33/3 and 45 rpm conventional recordings (78 are unlikely to be needed). The drive belt, like the other two on the list, is a fully automatic electronic speed control. The device does not have built-in acoustics, so as not to scare the listener with the not-too-impressive quality of the built-in speakers, but it can scan recordings.

The Sony PS-LX300USB is similar to the previous model and has the same features (reads and scans recordings if connected to a computer via USB). The device also has no built-in audio, the external is connected with "tulips".

As Snow Maiden suggests, all three players are entry-level.

A gift for an athlete and extremal

Fitness bracelet and watches for athletes

The fitness bracelet requires less, but can be considered a clue (for example, "Bring your beer belly, dude").

Honor Band 3 works with Android and iOS smartphones, it has a pedometer and a heart rate monitor, and the work time exceeds one month. The bracelet also provides reports on SMS, emails, calendar events and social networks, incoming calls and training data, acts as an alarm clock.

Xiaomi Mi Band 3 has similar functions, so the question of choice can be dictated by the attitude toward the brand. Or if the gift recipient has a Xiaomi smartphone, why not give him a fitness bracelet from the same company. The battery life is a little over two weeks.

Garmin Vivosmart 3 S / M supports the work not only with Android and iOS smartphones, but also with those who run Windows Mobile (how many people had the Nokia phone type of the Microsoft era). The set of functions is standard, with the exception of calendar notifications, which replace a much needed player control. The battery life is less than a week.

Headphones for sport

And again, we start with an inexpensive option – Honor Sport Lite AM61. Wireless, with microphone, compliant with IP52, there is a volume control. Weight – only 10 grams, battery life – 11 hours. This model and Sony below are distinguished by a design that prevents the headphones from falling. These, unlike the same AirPods, simply do not lose.

The Sony WI-SP600N has a somewhat different design and price than the Honor headsets, they have pretty much the same capabilities. The main difference is the presence of an active noise cancellation system, the support of the Google Assistant service is implemented, the protection standard is IPX4. The battery life is about 6 hours.

Samsung Gear IconX 2018 is not constructively related. Slightly heavier than the models above – each earphone will shoot 8 grams. From one charge will work more than 4 hours.

All headphones listed are protected against perspiration.

Action camera

From the category "cheap and angry" – YI Action Camera Basic Edition. It received a wide-angle optics with a 155-degree viewing angle and Sony's 16-megapixel sensor, capable of taking photos in resolutions of up to 4608 × 3456 pixels, as well as full video HD at 60 frames per second. Slow motion – at 240 frames per second with a resolution of 480p. Supported implementation of streaming and remote control.

In a special case, sold separately, the camera can dive to a depth of 40 meters. Less – there is no built-in display.

Sony HDR-AS300 will cost a lot more, but it is also higher. The kit includes a housing and a waterproof case in which the device can withstand immersion up to a depth of 60 meters. The camera received ZEISS Tessar optics and an 8.2 megapixel matrix. The maximum video resolution is 1920 × 1080 pixels, the photo is 4608 × 2592 pixels.

GoPro HERO7 Silver – the coolest model presented. And the most advanced because it allows you to shoot videos with a resolution of up to 4K at 30 fps. In addition, it can withstand immersion up to a depth of 10 meters without additional equipment, is equipped with a touch screen, supports voice control.

A gift for car lovers

DVR

Winter, slippery roads, nobody knows how to drive (like at any other time of the year). To prove it and publish a dramatic video on our forum, you need a registrar. The choice is difficult, but we will advise you some models.

YI Smart Dash Camera popular – a simple Xiaomi option. The power is connected directly to the camera, not to the mount. You can download recordings via integrated Wi-Fi, resolution – Full HD at a rate of 60 frames per second. It is suitable for night shots in urban areas, even if the video quality is generally not above average: it is a good basic version of the recorder.

Dunobil Chrom Duo is not in the audience, but it seems worthy of attention. If only because there is a remote camera in the kit. The main resolution is 1920 × 1080 pixels, the additional resolution is 640 × 480. There is a 3-inch screen, the viewing angle is 170 degrees. Among the notable shades note the fixing not too convenient, but it is a matter of habit.

TrendVision TDR-718GP writes video at a resolution of 2304 × 1296 pixels at 60 frames per second, with a viewing angle of 160 degrees. The quality of the recording is good during the day, even in the dark, but it is a disease that affects many recorders. Convenient editing and power via the bracket add dots, but the sound is average and the GPS sensor suddenly becomes external. At the same time, there is the richest note among the models listed.

Tool kit

Every self-respecting man should have a set of tools (and even more of a motorist). Another question is whether they will be needed.

The PRO Startul PRO-111A case holds 111 items: different diameter tips, adapters, hex keys, bits, screwdrivers and adapters. A good option for the car owner, who sometimes does something himself.

The Force 4941 is a universal set with 94 elements: heads, gimbal, ratchet, T-crank, extensions, spark plug heads, adapters needed.

RockForce 42152-5 with 215 items can probably be called the dream of a homeowner. Just like in previous series, but more diverse. The Snow Maiden does not recommend such a set for a mere mortal – only for real enthusiastic men. In reality, everyone will be happy (as a woman – a battery of creams on several floors).

Bluetooth adapter

A bonus for small car, which can be placed under the shaft in charge, is a Xiaomi wireless adapter. Although you can connect it not only in the car, the device allows you to use a Bluetooth audio source coupled to something that is not expected – wired headphones or a car audio system with Aux In connector (you'll have also need a connection cable). The built-in battery, however, will last a few hours, no more.

A gift for a player

prefixes

"A real player should have a game console" – They were saying deer from the imported Santa Claus team.

We have found an option that can be both the most budgeted gift in the category and a nostalgia tablet: the Nintendo Clbadic Mini: SNES. Up to 21 games are included in this Retron set, two wired game pads are included. A kind of piece of the past for a fun hobby (can be lodged near the fireplace).

But if you're an adult, you'll need to get a Nintendo switch with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe in the set. More and more people are sitting on this console, despite the high cost of games. Games, by the way, are more often remasters of hits in recent years, but there are some good quality exclusives.

The device works as a portable console. It can also be connected to the TV, the brain of the game will be the Nintendo switch, or installed on the table as a miniature screen, to raise the Joy-Con detachable controls.

Well, the clbadic version – Microsoft Xbox One S 1TB with a great Forza Horizon 4 racing toy included. Or again, for Sony fans, the PlayStation 4 Slim 1TB Red Dead Redemption 2. And again, the bottom line here is the game preferences of this man who can not wait to be alone with the console and the salad.

Games

How to choose the right game? Bring someone to the store and say: "Choose anything." Some preferences must generally be followed. But there are successes without which prefix owners will be tight (worthy of exclusivity, something less and less each year).

Наверняка востребованными будут нынешний блокбастер о той Америке, которую показывают вестернах, – безбашенной, полной приключений, но иногда нудной. Все как в жизни – Red Dead Redemption 2 что для PlayStation 4, что для Xbox One. «Еловек-паук »сплел паутину PlayStation 4, чем владельцы консоли от Одзи-сан и хвастают.

Forza Horizon 4 с огромным набором крутых тачек и настоящих трасс прекрасный гоночный симулятор. Главное, чтобы у телевизора экран побольше был.

Кстати, покупая игры маленьким мужчинам, обращайте внимание на возрастные ограничения. Чтобы потом не охать, глядя на имитирующее запой после RDR2 чадо.

Геймерские наушники

Для геймерских наушников на не не не не не не номер наушников. В противном случае они становятся обыкновенными. Вот такая существует хитрость.

К наиболее доступным вариантам новогодние гномы отнесли мониторные закрытые SVEN AP-U980MV с микрофоном (он понадобится любому активному игроку для общения с другими геймерами). Без особенных наворотов, но с имитацией звука 7.1. Длина провода – 2,2 метра, что важно для наушников, если они подключаются к задней звуковой панели компьютера (данная модель использует USB, а не 3,5-мм штекер).

SteelSeries Siberia 200 White имеют необычный, хоть и не совсем геймерский дизайн. Эдакий зимний вариант для зимнего солдата виртуальных полей боя. Также имеется микрофон, and кабель с 3,5-мм штекером чуть короче – 1,8 метра. Диапазон пошире, так что врагу будет сложнее подкрасться незаметно.

Plantronics RIG 500HD выглядят технологично и даже немного киберпанково. В отличие от предыдущих моделей, для амбушюров здесь используется ткань, а не кожа (или ее искусственный аналог) есть поддержка "звука вокруг" все с той же имитацией системы 7.1. Подключаются с помощью USB. Из минусов – тонкие нежные провода.

В оформлении HyperX Cloud II используется классическое сочетание черного и красного, наушники подходят для приставок Xbox One и PlayStation 4. Есть микрофон, амбушюры из велюра, микрофон на гибкой ноге имеет съемный держатель. Длина провода – всего 1 метр (хороша при подключении через геймпад), зато кабель заключен в оплетку – прослужит долго. Имеется имитация 7.1, которая вряд ли будет востребована.

Подарок для гика

Квадрокоптер

Каким был человек, дай ему в руки пользовать управления от квадрокоптера and серьезность сразу куда-то улетучится. А л л л л л л л щ щ щ щ … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … …

Принято считать, что начинать лучше с чего подешевле, но это не всегда оправданно. Тем не менее в бюджетном сегменте можно обратить внимание на Syma X5UW-D. Такой не угонится за удирающим Дедом Морозом (скорости не хватит и время полета весьма ограничено), но для начинающего пилота или в качестве игрушки на короткое время сгодится. Управляется с Android- и iOS-смартфонов, в комплекте есть простенькая видеокамера.

MJX Bugs 3 Pro продержится в воздухе дольше, залетит дальтит и позволит почувствовать, каково это – быть птицей. Эта радиоуправляемая модель имеет крепление для сторонней видеокамеры, установка которой сократит время автономного полета из-за увеличившегося веса.

Завершим «топчиком» – моделью Spark, лихим миниатюрным дроном от DJI. Он держится в воздухе до 16 минут, но успевает разогнаться до 50 км / ч в спортрежиме. В обоих случаях – если не будет ветра. GPSсть встроенный GPS / GLONASS, набор датчиков и сенсоров, упрощающих управление, а также встроенная 12-MP камера. Крутая "тачка", но и цена соответствующая.

Конструктор

Ничто тело не занимает людей, как пазлы, склеивание моделей и конструкторы. А если добавить в процесс технологичности, так вообще будет не оторвать.

"Народная" компания Xiaomi не спит и появляется там, ге ее не ждешь. Mi Robot Builder Rover – конструктор из 1086 деталей с гусеничной лентой, модулями червячного привода, карданным валом и другими инженерными прелестями. Почти Lego Technic, только дешевле. Ах да, еще и электрический двигатель впридачу.

Кстати, о Lego. ЭЭ р .р .р .р .е .е .е .е .е .е .е .е .е .е .е .е .е .е .е .е .е .е. Имперский истребитель состоит из 519 деталей. Собрать такой, добавить ему в компанию персонажей "Звездных войн", дополнить другой техникой, и можно начинать межгалактическую войну.

Вариант не для каждого, а собее для коллекционера. Сборка Lego Technic 42083 Bugatti Chiron займет немало времени (3599 деталей), and еще можно растянуть удовольствие. Это копия реального автомобиля, созданная в сотрудничестве с Bugatti в комплект даже входит фирменный чемодан (маленький, чтобы поместился в багажник собранной машины).

Умные часы

Революция, связанная с умными часами, прошла незаметно, однако аксессуар нашел свою аудиторию. Теперь подобные аксессуары есть на любой вкус и кошелек.

Amazfit Bip – достаточным набором функций Асы могут работать в паре со смартфоном под управлением Android и iOS, имеют встроенный пульсометр и шагомер. Гаджет умеет показывать уведомления об SMS, письмах, звонках, сообщениях из соцсетей и календаря, ну и время.

Samsungасы Samsung Gear S3 frontier отошли намного дальше от обычных фитнес-трекеров, к которым Amazing Bip куда ближе. Эти и внешне походят на настоящие часы (на стальном корпусах). Приятно увесистые и массивные, с сочным дисплеем и адекватным временем автономной работы (заявлено до 4 дней, в реальности чуть меньше). Технически продвинутым понравится поддержка технологии бесконтактных платежей Samsung Pay.

Apple Watch Series 3 в алюминиевом корпусе – практически must have для поклонников техники Apple. Часы-компаньон неплохо себя зарекомендовали, разве что время автономной работы подкачало – заряжать гаджет придется каждый день.

Умная зубная щетка

Не слишком очевидная вещь, однако зубными щетками пользуются все, только вот менять ленимся: обычно эти завсегдатаи ванных комнат могут жить там годами, постепенно меняя «прическу» с крепкой и эффективной на взбалмошно растопыренную.

Головка зубной щетки может иметь вытянутую или круглую форму. В первом случае движение будет пульсирующее, во втором — вращательное/пульсирующее либо комбинированное, тут уж на любителя. Частота и скорость заметно отличаются. Время автономной работы варьируется от пары десятков минут до недели.

В комплекте у недорогих зубных щеток обычно имеется единственная насадка, другие получают набор для, например, бережной или интенсивной чистки.

Мы выбрали самые умные, которыми можно управлять через смартфон.
