Hoobs Listener Review
Written by HT Guys Listener Steve
Father's Day Gifts that Your Didn't Buy You
FIIL T1X TWS True Wireless Noise Canceling Earbuds $50 - These are getting rave reviews and at $50 it's a no brainer.
Roku Streaming Stick Plus $40 - Stream pretty much everything under the sun from Netflix to HBO to Hulu, and everything in between. It streams up to 4K resolution, and the included remote controls the TV's power and volume, too.
Bose Frames Alto $200 - OK we are not huge Bose fans but this is pretty cool. Sunglasses with speakers built into them. You can listen to music or even our podcast without people knowing that is what you are doing!
