LG Tone Flex HBS-XL7. The best earbuds with the worst name. I really like this form factor. I often forget that I'm wearing them and this particular model is the most comfortable of the ones I've used over the years.

Kindle Paperwhite. I have the older model. I've heard the nooks are good too. The simpler the better. Nothing to break or distract. Don't use the backlight and the battery lasts ages. I know a lot of people are partial to physical books but I've read hundreds more books than I might have otherwise read since I started using my kindle. It's probably my favorite thing I own.

The Yamaha DX7, the quintessential digital-replacing-analog synth, cost $2k USD in 1983, not $4-5k. I can't speak for what that cost in Euros (which didn't exist yet) or with import tariffs in an unspecified country. Today you can get one used for $500 USD. And while analog is and was more expensive, today you can get a Behringer Deep Mind 12 for $900 USD new and it sounds fantastic.
Meanwhile, Teenage Engineering is selling a tiny digital synth for $1,200, which has less functionality than iPad. I find it hard to take serious as anything other than a design object but YMMV.
