Episode 54: The 2020 Icon Garden Holiday Special with Jeff Berg

It’s Christmas all over again!

Ho ho ho! Merry Macmas! Jeff Berg rejoins Dan and Jake to talk about the present that Santa Tim dropped for all the good Apple children: AirPods Max! Jake has a pair of the new headphones and we review features, audio quality, comparisons, all of it! Plus, we try Apple Fitness+, and a holiday episode wouldn’t be complete without a holiday gift guide for all the techies in your life. Pour a cup of cheer and listen in!

Recorded December 18, 2020

The Icon Garden Gift Guide

(!) A note from Jeff: I must disclose that I work for REI because REI sells Peak Design and Goal Zero Products. I am not directly compensated for endorsement, but I received a discount when I purchased the products. I did purchase and do use all of the products I list here. Opinions are my own.
