The kind of music tech product you want to get depends on the audiophile you're shopping for. For example, is this person serious about recording or their home studio? Or would they rather have something that improves their listening experience? We came up with some great gifts for both.

What better way to get into the holiday spirit than to string lights that respond to your favorite music? These Sync to Sound lights from Brookstone can turn your tree into a light show. There are 11 lighting . modes to choose from and each responds differently to the song that's being played.

The way it works is simple. The LED lights depend on a built-in smart sensor to pick up and interpret various sounds. Another added bonus? These babies are waterproof, meaning you can use them inside and outside. Keep the music in-house or share it with your neighbors!

Heads up, you'll probably want to give this gift a few weeks before Christmas so they have time to decorate and enjoy it. And even if you don't celebrate Christmas you can still use these smart lights. Hang them around your bedroom for some entertaining alone time: Just you, your tunes, and a beautiful display.

There's no way we could show you the best tech gifts for music lovers without including a confetti launcher. This gift is mainly for musicians who play live performances. Making a live show entertaining involves much more than just the musical performance. Visuals like props, stage lighting, and confetti make an average show extraordinary. The only rule: Check with the music venue before you start launching confetti everywhere. Some places might not appreciate it — lame.

This high tech gift from Brookstone comes in many animal forms. Cat ears, devil ears, mouse ears — the list goes on. These wireless headphones add whimsy and personality to what is otherwise a strictly utilitarian product. Let your music lover listen to their jams with some style!

This model is particularly special because it has the dual function of being both headphones and speakers. Riding solo? Use the headphones. Kicking it at a party? Bump those speakers!

Let's be real: You don't need to be a child to enjoy adorable toys. The cool thing about this little guy is that he's cute and functional. Wireless speakers aren't new, but My Audio Pets changes the game. This particular Audio Pet is an owl, but this product comes in dozens of animal forms. Whether you love monkeys, cows, pandas or puppies, My Audio Pet can suit your needs.

Because this product is so small and cute, you might doubt its sound quality. But My Audio Pets speakers offer surprisingly good sound. What's more, you an pair one Audio Pet with another to create an even louder listening experience. With this many functions, there's no doubt that My Audio Pets deserve to be named one of the best tech gifts for music lovers.

In case you're not familiar with microphones, Sennheiser is one of the best brands in the business. If your loved one is an up-and-coming recording artist or a producer, you need to get them this high tech gift while you're doing your holiday shopping.

Like any music gear, the type of microphone a person uses when recording has a huge influence on the final product's sound quality. Every microphone is made differently. When it comes to the Sennheiser MK 8 Dual-Diaphragm Multi-Pattern Condenser, there are five available polar patterns you can use. Polar patterns determine how a microphone picks up sound and in what directions. This Seinnheiser model gives the user plenty of options so they can get the recording they truly want.

Be warned, though, this brilliant piece of German recording equipment is roughly $825 USD.

The best tech gifts for music lovers don't always have to be expensive or geared solely toward the audio pro. Any music fan can enjoy the e-Joy Water Dancing Speakers. This product is a reminder that holiday shopping should be fun, not just practical.

As you play music through these wireless speaker towers, the mini water fountain inside dances to the beat. The water is also colorized thanks to the built-in LED lights, making for an amusing listening experience. Plus, they come in multiple colors. At a cost of under $20, these Water Dancing Speakers make for a great stocking stuffer!

While people tend to rely more on their smart phones for the time nowadays, watches are still an important part of fashion. This vintage-looking watch can suit a man or a woman and lends more flare to your daily outfit. Instead of seeing the time on the face of the watch like a person normally would, a music lover can take a look at one of their favorite sights at any point during the day. Don't worry, though, because the rim of the watch can still tell the time.

Just a warning, you might not want to give this gift to your mom. Or maybe you do — we don't know what your relationship is like. Either way, this sexy gift combines physical pleasure with listening pleasure. The vibrations this female sex toy gives off are sound-activated. If you're used to making love with music playing in the background, then this is the perfect present for your partner to spice things up in the bedroom.

While you might be most comfortable using this product in the privacy of your own home, it is small and sleek enough that you can take it with you wherever you go. It's one way to make your commute to work more satisfying! Sorry Santa, but women can still get one of the best tech gifts for music lovers even if they're naughty.

If you can't afford a smart watch, this Bluetooth Wrist Speaker from Brookstone is your best bet. It can make calls, play your favorite music, and even hook you up to FM radio. Instead of spending hundreds of dollars, this gift will only cost you $30. It's a great idea for a stocking stuffer and is also a great gift for younger kids. You probably don't want to give your 11-year-old a costly top-of-the-line smart watch, but this product is a wonderful way to introduce them to that kind of audio technology.

This cooler-bluetooth speaker hybrid is a genius gift. Take it to the beach with you so you can keep your food and drinks cold while you blast some summer jams. Use it for tailgating as a place to store your beer and a way to get you hyped before the big game. Attending a music festival? Hang out with your fellow music lovers in the parking lot and prepare yourself for the awesome performances you're about to experience. There is virtually no end to this product's usefulness. Of all of the best tech gifts for music lovers, this one might take the cake.
