Fender came up with a solution in the shape of Mustang Micro, a tiny amp that connects to wired headphones. This means the budding Jimi Hendrix can play as loudly as they like without everyone around listening to their musical efforts. The Mustang Micro also supports Bluetooth streaming, so you can play along with audio from your mobile or computer, plus you can record your sessions using the USB-C output. $119.99 fender.com
