Virtual reality

VR頭顯

Probably the most exciting tech development of recent times, virtual reality (VR) has arrived, with *ample options available to the consumer who’s searching for an extra dose of high-tech fun this Christmas. The cheapest way to get a high-end VR experience comes courtesy of Sony. Its PlayStation VR doesn’t require a tricked-out PC or expensive phone – it works with the Playstation 4 console and comes with a few great games in its library. There are some accessories you can purchase to enhance the experience, but if you’ve already got a PS4 you can enter the world of VR for just $400 (2780 yuan). 2016 has been the year of VR and as such many alternatives to Sony’s creation exist.

Wireless headphones

無線耳機

Combining ease of use with the ability to move *uninhibited around your home, gym or workplace, wireless headphones just make sense. And there are plenty of *viable options to suit any budget. The Bose QuietComfort 35 wireless headphones are definitely worth a test drive, though. The full-size, around-ear Bluetooth headphones feature active noise cancellation and double as a headset for making phone calls. They’ve even earned the Editor’s Choice award at Cnet.com and can be snapped up for less than $400 online. Beats has worked its way firmly into the market and its Studio Wireless headphones are a popular choice, especially as you can now find them much cheaper than their original $379 asking price by searching around online.

使用簡單，能在家、健身房或工作場所中不受限制地自由移動，這就是使用無線耳機的意義。無線耳機還有大量可行的選擇來滿足不同預算的需求。而博士 QuietComfort 35 無線耳機絕對值得一試。這種大尺寸的包耳式藍牙耳機能有效地隔絕噪音，并且還能作為打電話用的耳麥。這款耳機甚至還獲得了科技資訊網(wǎng)的編輯選擇獎，而它的網(wǎng)購價還不足400美元。Beats在市場上已經(jīng)占據(jù)了一席之地，而它的Studio Wireless 耳機也大受歡迎，尤其現(xiàn)在還能在網(wǎng)上找到比原價379美元更低的價格。

Digital cameras

數(shù)碼相機

While your phone is a worthy *sidekick, there’s no substitute for a real camera when it comes to taking the perfect picture. And these days you can get quality specifications in a package that’s almost as small as your smartphone. The *sleek design of the Fujifilm X70, $699 (4,850 yuan), makes it the perfect companion, or you could go *retro with the Olympus PEN-F ($1,200) that offers old school looks alongside cutting edge technology. Domestically, it’s worth checking out Xiaomi’s mirrorless Yi M1 for a more affordable option. With a high-end 20-megapixel sensor and the ability to host multiple lenses, it’s available from just 2,199 yuan.

盡管你的手機是個好幫手，但要想照出一些完美的照片，還是沒有什么能比得上一部真正的相機。如今，你只需帶一個幾乎和智能手機差不多大小的包，便能獲得高品質規(guī)格的照片。售價699美元(約4850人民幣)、設計時髦的富士X70相機就是你的最佳拍檔，或者你也可以選擇傳統(tǒng)外表與前端科技相結合的奧林巴斯PEN-F 相機(售價1200美元)，走一發(fā)復古范。在國內(nèi)市場上，小米的Yi M1無反相機值得關注，它的價格也更加經(jīng)濟。這款相機配有高端的2000萬像素的傳感器，并能搭配多種鏡頭使用，而它的價格只需2199元起。

Smartwatches

智能手表

Watches, thanks to the *advent of the mobile phone, were in danger of becoming a little bit *redundant. Not anymore though, now that watches can more or less act as a second screen for your smartphone. The quest for fitness has also helped the watch industry push forward, with timepieces like the Nixon Mission Smartwatch ($400) now on the market. Built for adventure, but with a stylish *exterior, it runs Google’s Android Wear software, but is *compatible with iPhones. FitBit has been a leader in the sporty wearable field, and its new swim-proof Fitbit Flex 2 ($130) represents the best in the way of today’s fitness bands. It has a removable tracker that fits into other bands, bracelets or *pendants – so you can continue to track your movements a little more *conspicuously.

由于手機的出現(xiàn)，手表便顯得有些多余了。但現(xiàn)在已并非如此，如今，手表可以作為智能手機的第二個屏幕。出于健身的需求也讓手表產(chǎn)業(yè)向前邁進，諸如尼克松Mission 智能手表(售價400美元)等鐘表現(xiàn)已上市。它專為冒險而設計，有著時尚的外形，運行谷歌的Android Wear操作系統(tǒng)，但也能和蘋果手機兼容。FitBit一直是運動配件領域的領導者，而它最新的防水智能手環(huán)Fitbit Flex 2 (售價130美元)代表了現(xiàn)今健身品牌的最佳設計。這款產(chǎn)品的追蹤器部分可被拆卸，并可搭配其他手環(huán)、手鏈或是掛件 —— 所以你能夠以一種更加顯眼的方式來記錄你的運動數(shù)據(jù)。
