Oprah got it right with these tech gifts: Sony speaker, Beats, and more

Bruce Brown
By
Oprah has chosen, and Amazon published this year’s list of Oprah’s Favorite Things. Powerbeats Pro wireless earphones, Sony SRS Extra Bass portable Bluetooth speaker, and Echo Dot Kids Edition smart speakers made the list, so we’d say Oprah got it right with these tech gifts.

If you don’t want to wait for Black Friday or Cyber Monday and prefer to follow Oprah’s suggestions, for this year’s list, she picked gifts for music lovers, home chefs, and baristas with discerning tastes, a high-end home exercise bike with studio workouts and classes, and a spiffy rainbow-design kid-friendly smart speaker. Whether you’re shopping for family, friends, or yourself, these special gifts will put smiles on faces.
