Ten Holiday Gift Ideas for the Electronic Music Lover in Your Life

In a festival world of pickpockets and thieves, an anti-theft hydration pack is a necessity for your or a friend’s next festival. This bag from RaveRunner features hidden pockets, inverted zippers, and slash-proof, ripstop nylon that makes it the best rave hydration backpack on the market. This fashionable pack mirrors the scene’s promotion of unique expression by allowing customization. Choose from an array of colors for the bag, add a solar panel charger, or light it up with EL wire and colorful underglow to keep the party going wherever you’re walking.

Vibes earplugs

Vibes High-Fidelity Earplugs

Website | Instagram

Seeing your favorite musicians perform live is a one-of-a-kind experience, and part of what makes concerts so powerful and energizing is the volume of the music, but it’s vital to protect your hearing. One of the easiest ways to do that is by investing in reusable earplugs like Vibes. Using specially designed sound tubes that balance sound waves and sound-enhancing acoustic filters that reduce decibel levels, these high-fidelity earplugs allow you to protect your hearing health whether you’re a musician playing on stage or someone in the crowd. Additionally, Vibes’ low-profile design makes wearing them discreet, and they include a carrying case with interchangeable ear tips to allow them to fit any sized ear.

Bose Bluetooth Headphones

Bluetooth Earbuds or Headphones

Take the thumping beats and overdose of bass of the festival with you on the go with Bluetooth earbuds or headphones. Whether you’re on the move, working out, or a passenger on the way to the festival, a set of wireless earbuds or headphones are perfect for hyping up the event to your favorite tunes. Immerse yourself in the music you love with a wireless, noise-canceling set, which is especially important when traveling during the holidays.
