Written by Michael DiMella | Mar 9, 2016 5:00:00 AM

With Spring right around the corner, there’s a profound sense of possibility in the air. For many of us, the longer days and pleasant weather can serve as inspiration to start living better, whether that’s adopting a new workout plan or reaching for a promotion at work. For technophiles, that springtime holds particular lure, with new electronics making their way to the market, from speakers to smartphones. If you’re itching to enjoy some of the best gadgets on the market, try on these luxury electronics for size.

Amazon Echo

The age of the robot butler is almost upon us. The Amazon Echo, a low-profile voice-activated device that takes up about as much space as a water bottle, can take the stress out of your day by doing many of your more mundane tasks for you — play Pandora stations, order products from Amazon, write grocery lists, and even turn your electronic devices on and off when paired with a home automation system.

BeoLab 90 Speakers

If design is as important to you as functionality, you’ll love the BeoLab 90 speakers. The sound system, which looks more like a Frank Gehry sculpture than a speaker, allows you to customize your sound for the audience, whether you’re listening solo or need to fill a room. Anyone who can’t be bothered with the clutter of an additional remote will love these as well — they’re entirely smartphone controlled. You can also add receivers if you love music and movies like we do, you want a high-fidelity system that delivers the best sound and picture possible. You’ll find all that and more at Music For Pleasure. 

Insteon System

For those who dream of never touching a light switch again, the Insteon Home automation system is a true game-changer. This system, which works via smartphone app, through the Amazon Echo, and with your home WiFi, can do everything from turn your lights on and off via voice command, provide video surveillance on both the inside and outside of your home, and even tell you if you have a leaky faucet or faulty freezer.

Nest Learning Thermostat

If you live in a home where setting the perfect temperature is a constant battle, the Nest Learning Thermostat is for you. It took us some time to choose a smart thermostat (Ecobee & Nest). Both of them looked like an excellent investment, but we decided on Nest. This sleek, programmable, and highly useful device learns your preferred temperature and begins to set itself after you use it for just one week, meaning you’ll never return to a freezing or sauna-like home again.

LG Signature Oled G6

Thinner, brighter, and lighter, the LG Signature Oled G6 television is truly the future of home viewing. You can also buy iptv subscription to stream all your tv shows and movies. Less than one-tenth of an inch thick and delivering a picture so clear you’ll swear you’re watching it live, there’s no better way to enjoy your favorite shows and movies.   

With so many incredible electronics hitting the market this spring, there’s no better time to splurge and enjoy a bit of extra luxury in your life. Happy shopping!
