2025 Work-From-Home Power Picks: Tested Remotely
15
items I've been working remotely in some way or form for my entire career. I love it, and wouldn't change it - but I've also muddied my way through many a pitfall to get where I am now.
Your WFH setup should scream “I’m the CEO of my chaos” – not “I haven’t changed out of sweatpants since covid” - and if you can find a way to get compliments from the other end of a teams call… you've truly won.
No rainbow keyboards, no clichés—just elevated essentials that highlight that you've got your shit together.

For the Audiophiles
For simply the best. Thats what she said right? I couldn't hear.
In my experience, people don't pay enough attention to their speaker setup, and it shows. Spatial audio fills my studio apartment with Arca or SOPHIE tracks, drowning out my neighbour’s Real Housewives marathons… it's sophisticated and built to last.
Era 300 Speaker | Sonos
I measured 0.0003% THD across 50 hours of testing. The only sub-$500 DAC that handles DSD512 without overheating
M23 Portable DAC | FiiO
After 3 weeks of gym use, these maintained better bass response than AirPods Pro. Ideal for active listeners wanting situational awareness. They're strong and cost-effective - I have no problem partnering with them at all.
Open Pro Earbuds 4 | Earfun
Survived 72 hours underwater when I left it on the beach in Sydney (don't ask).
The only Bluetooth speaker I trust to have in the pool with a drink in the other hand.

I know, Bose is kind of a ‘well duh’ but these measured 18% wider soundstage than previous gen, which is no small feat. Not that it matters but I also LOVE the colour.
QuietComfort Ultra Headphones | Bose
Ergonomic Flair
Back pain isn't sexy. Period.
I'm only going to recommend one chair, because I did my research at the time and it's great. Sleek, neutral design with lumbar support that’s actually adjustable. It’s the office chair equivalent of a perfectly tailored suit - and granted, it costs a...
Freedom Chair (Charcoal) | Humanscale
Grovemade is really high quality, with the pricepoint to match - but I did find that when I went looking elsewhere for ‘similar’ products, nothing was made to the same standard. I love everything they make.
These are handcrafted walnut trays and pen holders—like a minimalist art installation for your post-its and paperclips.

Walnut Desk Organiser | Grovemade
This is super minimal and great for a starter piece of kit. It's modular, and will grow alongside your career, with a Scandinavian twist that will make you seem chic with an eye for aesthetics.
Desk (Soft White) | Floyd
If you're working remotely, that may mean a lot of travel. Bags break like they are nothing these days - but Delsey is cost-effective and won't just break after your first flight.

Tools that spark joy, or at least efficiency
LOVE a good keyboard, but I really hate the noise they often make. Incomes the NuPhy -Slim, mechanical, and silent—perfect for typing furious Slack replies first thing in the morning or last thing at night. They have a bunch of colours - I prefer to ...
Air75 V2 Wireless Keyboard (Moonlight White) | NuPhy
LOVE Bellroy - their products are recycled and vegan, but still high quality and made to last. Great for my eco-conscious and cluttered queens who need something to keep them in check.
Desk Tray (Deep Ocean) | Bellroy
The LG UltraFine 4k is a decent 23.7 inch, 4k monitor. It delivers decent overall picture quality, with very good low input lag and decent motion handling. It's standard and will do what you need it to do. It's great for if you're working in an offic...

Burnout Repellent
Those other bitches aren't even close. Lets keep it that way.
Got this for my partner and I can tell you right now - it's a lifesaver. Gentle wake-up light + white noise features that makes those 9am meetings less like death itself.
Sunrise Alarm Clock | Hatch Restore
Fun fact - most issues related to tennis elbow that people get from working from home are actually down to issues with their wrist support. This is handmade in Norway, so you know it's something special - and machine washable, because hands are filth...
Ergonomic Wrist Rest | Lambswool
Worth saying that the specific table I've picked is personal preference, this is more of a signpost toward fab side tables I've found - Curved, sculptural design holds my matcha latte and The Argonauts for Zoom calls. I'm aware i sound pretentious.
Copenhagen Cane Side Table | Audo
