Audio tax write-off

Hello,

I have a company that produces documentaries and podcasts on personal and commercial histories. I have needed to acquire computer equipment to do my work, and I've borrowed some equipment from my 2-channel system, such as headphones, as well. My question is, do any of you write off home audio audio acquisitions for your business? Do you know the tax rules on this? Does it have to be branded  as "pro" gear to qualify? Thinking I need a better DAC and studio monitors. If I bought a component called "Schiit," would the tax auditor go "nnnnnnnnnnoooooo?" 

Thanks for your input.

Paul

Another important consideration:
The home office tax write-off is not available to employees of companies.  If you're an independent contractor, gig worker or the business owner, you're good to go.
If you're just an "employee" of someone else who regularly works from home, trump's 2018 tax cut took that deduction away from you.  At least through 2025.
