Denon AH-D7100 (RRP $1,600)

The hero of Denon’s new high end headphone range is the Music Maniac D7100. Described as “ultra premium”, these mahogany headphones have a 50-millimetre driver, 110dB/mW sensitivity and a range of cabling options for listening at home or on the move. In a year marked by the success of high-end headphones, Denon’s addition to the market was particularly notable.

Raspberry Pi (from $33)

The world’s smallest and cheapest computer, the Raspberry Pi was released by RS Components in 2012 to promote basic computer science and education for a new generation of users brought up on Windows and OS X operating systems. Developed and marketed by a not-for-profit charity, the Raspberry Pi was phenomenally popular, though the original batches were snapped up by older users rather than the kids they were aimed at.
