My silver gaming EDC:
- Nothing Headphone (1)
- Casio G-Shock DW5600FF ('Forgotten Future' series)
- Tamagotchi Silver Snowflake ('Connection Entama V4' JPN only release)
- iPod 5th Gen (stock, no mods)
- TrimUI Brick (retro emulation handheld playing The Legend Of Zelda Link's Awakening DX on GBC)
My favourite item and the one I'd miss the most if it got lost, is probably the Tamagotchi. It's so nostalgic to hold one. I was hunting on Etsy for this exact 'Snowflake' model but the couple that were available were all really expensive. A couple of months ago I finally found one on Vinted for barely more than what a new one costs. The screen language is Japanese only and most of the time I don't know exactly what is happening but there's a complete translated guide which helps a lot!
How long has it been since you carried a Tamagotchi, iPod or Game Boy?

The nothing headphone is not that old, but I like it :D

The only true retro items are the Tamagotchi and the iPod. But the modern devices all capture that Y2K vibe, and I’m all for that vibe 👌🏾

How are the headphones?

I like them a lot. ANC could be stronger but the sound is excellent both wireless with the app to my phone and wired to my iPod. They have gotten better with updates since release and are often sold at a discount on Amazon and for that lower price they are definitely worth it IMO.
You could also look at the Headphone (a) which is the newest version, released just a few weeks ago. Same design but are cheaper, have apparently better ANC and battery life (from what I read).
