30 Day song challenge got a bit abstract today, so tossing out a 2nd question.... what's your favorite music tech?

From a pair headphones or maybe you make music or you have a record player that you live and die by, maybe it's an old iPod that still cruising along... What's that one piece of music tech you just Mmm Mmm LOVE!

I absolutely love my Aftershokz (now branded Shokz) bone conduction headphones. Are they the best sound quality ever? No. Do they lack depth in the bass? Yes. But I listen to a lot of podcasts and the talking voice is right in the sweet spot. But what is fantastic is I never have to take them off (unless I'm at work) because there is no actual obstruction to hearing. I love going for a walk in the woods with some low level post rock playing adding a layer of beauty. It's Iike having my own private soundtrack.

tried my first pair of bone induction headphones recently while waiting for my oil change - so bizarre!!! still blows my mind that it's even possible.
