Speakers, Headphones, Mouse, Keyboards, and More.
With the holiday season just around the corner I wanted to share my personal top picks for essential gadget peripherals and accessories. Please take note that this is MY list and not an absolute “BEST” that applies for everyone. This is obviously based from the gadgets that I was able to test myself which is limited given the multitude of brands out there in the market.
Let’s get rolling.
Best Wireless Mouse: Logitech MX Master 2S

Best Wireless Headphones: Sony MDR-1000x
Amazing sound quality, comfortable build, and legendary battery life makes the Sony MDR-1000x the best wireless headphones (with active noise cancelling) I’ve ever tried and owned. You plunge yourself into a world of silence and just melt away in your own world while listening to your favorite playlists. The only downside is that price tag as it retails locally for a whopping Php17,999.
By the way, Sony recently announced the successor to this called the Sony WH-1000XM2. The great news is that apart from the improvements, it will have a slightly cheaper SRP at $350 (Php16,000-Php17,000).

Best Wireless Earphones: Jaybird X3
Here’s the good news. Digital Walker has already started selling the successor, the Jaybird X3, for just a little over Php6,000. It’s fantastic value for money as we would take this over the Apple AirPods any day.

Best Portable Wireless Speakers: UE Wonderboom
If you’re in the market for a versatile, loud, rich-sounding, long lasting, water resistant, and portable speakers, look no further. The Ultimate Ears Wonderboom is the best bang for your buck. It sells for around Php5,500 at Digital Walker and Beyond the Box stores. Don’t just take our word for it though. Test them out at the stores (they usually have demo units) and listen for yourself. We highly recommend this one over a lot of the other brands you see in the market today, even the ones that sell for twice the price.
Best Keyboard: RAZER BlackWidow Chroma Tournament Edition V2
As it is RAZER, be ready to pay premium. The RAZER BlackWidow Chroma Tournament Edition V2 set me back more than Php6,000.
I haven’t written a full review yet but if you guys want to read a review we made of an older generation RAZER BlackWidow keyboard, click here.
