It’s possible to spend hundreds of dollars on a video streamer . Possible, but not necessary. With a list price of $40, the Roku 4K Express offers something for everybody — a huge range of apps and compatibility with video standards such as Dolby Vision and 4K resolution. That it works so well for the money is the good kind of surprise.

The Audio-Technica AT-LP60X is the best budget turntable, hands down. It offers simple automatic operation and its sound quality is a cut above anything else at the price. Perfect for a child’s bedroom, or a smoky, low-lit music sanctuary.

If you’re looking for a pair of relatively affordable headphones to appease the budding audiophile in your family, the HD6XX offer an extraordinary value. They do need a good amp — you can’t really run them from a phone — but the sound quality can’t be beaten. I use them connected to a receiver for late-night viewing and they work a treat.

With an improved look and clearer sound, the Debut 2.0 is even better for people looking to dive into the audiophile world. And at $400, it’s cheaper than a receiver or a turntable. The Elac Debut 2.0 6.2 is an excellent value.
